Cementir Holding N.V.

Cementir Holding and Air Liquide have officially signed the grant agreement from the European Innovation Fund for their ACCSION project in Denmark.    Located in Aalborg, ACCSION will be one of the first full onshore Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) value chains in Europe. Aiming at significantly reducing CO₂ emissions of the Aalborg Portland cement plant, the completion of the project would allow the avoidance of 1.5 million tons of CO₂ emissions per year of operation. The captured CO₂ would be fed into a new pipeline infrastructure to be stored in onshore CO₂ storage facilities.    The European Innovation Fund is one of the world’s largest programs for promoting innovative low-carbon technologies. The grant of 220 million euros is an important step in the realization of the project. Joining forces with CINEA is key to reach Air Liquide’s and Cementir’s carbon neutrality ambitions by 2050, and helps to support Europe’s leadership towards decarbonization.   This project has received support from the EU’s Innovation Fund. The Innovation Fund is 100% funded by the EU Emissions Trading Systems. However, the views and opinions expressed are those of Air Liquide only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or CINEA.

We are proud to announce that the EU Innovation Fund has confirmed €220 million in funding for the ACCSION project, supporting the development of Cementir CO₂ capture plant in Aalborg, Denmark. This plant: - once operational, will cut 1.5 million tons of CO₂ emissions annually, enabling Aalborg Portland to achieve CO₂ neutrality for its Scope 1 emissions - will be the first EU cement facility capable of producing both grey and white net-zero cements - will represent one of Europe’s first fully integrated onshore CCS value chains. Francesco Caltagirone Jr., Chairman and CEO of Cementir Holding, commented: "This project reinforces our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Carbon capture plays a vital role in our strategy to reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon economy. Through this project we aim to set a benchmark for the cement industry, while supporting global climate targets.“ A huge milestone for Cementir and for the future of sustainable construction!

Cementir Holding N.V. approves first half 2024 consolidated results. “Results for the first half of 2024 were in line with our expectations, with sales volumes up but revenues and EBITDA down, compared to the first half of 2023. The adverse weather conditions in the first months of the year and a still weak residential market in the most important geographies, as well as a significant negative exchange rate impact, affected the results for the period, which nevertheless benefited from the reduction of main operating costs.“ commented Francesco Caltagirone Jr, Chairman and CEO.
