In Germany, SPIE is installing the world’s first industrial-scale Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) facility for the cement industry. The project, commissioned by Linde Engineering, is being carried out at Heidelberg Materials’ Lengfurt cement plant and is set to commence operations in 2025, with a capture capacity of 70,000 metric tons of CO₂ per year. Due to its high purity, the captured and processed gas can be utilized in both the chemical and food industries. SPIE is responsible for the majority of the facility’s mechanical installations
