DOE Funds Demo of CO2 Capture Technology

Cemex USA has been awarded $1.1 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to demonstrate a dry sorbent CO2 capture technology at one of its cement plants in the U.S. The commercial-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) demonstration project is expected to store up to 1 million tons of CO2.

Cemex, in partnership with RTI International, will design and construct a dry sorbent CO2 capture and compression system, an injection station, and pipeline, if needed. The company will fund 20 percent of Phase I of the CCS project.
