CARBON HUB CPT01

The Carbon Hub CPT01 carbon capture and storage (CCS) project will be installed at Âé¶¹´«Ã½â€™s cement plant in Campulung, Central Romania. It will enable Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to produce 2 million tons of near-zero cement per annum from 2032.

The EU Innovation Fund has selected Carbon Hub CPT01 for a grant to co-finance the capture installation, complementing substantial co-investment by Âé¶¹´«Ã½ and its partners.

The technology

Eastern Europe’s first full-scale onshore CCS project, Carbon Hub CPT01 will use proven technology to separate CO2 from flue gases generated by the cement plant and our industrial partner, Caremeuse, which will then be transported for safe storage underground.

Âé¶¹´«Ã½ is leading a consortium of industrial and academic partners covering the full CCS value chain to realize the project, and is collaborating with Romanian research institutes and government agencies.
