Germany: Cool Planet Technologies has begun to assemble its 10,000t/yr carbon capture facility at Holcim’s Höver cement plant, with all major equipment now delivered to the site.
The company is installing and connecting prefabricated modules, with assembly expected to be completed in April 2026. Capture operations are scheduled to begin in mid-2026, followed by a 12-month demonstration programme.
The plant uses a modular membrane-based carbon capture system, with process modules fabricated and assembled by Blackrow Engineering in the UK and transported to Höver for final assembly. This will be integrated with other equipment manufactured across Europe. Blackrow Engineering is assisting with on-site assembly.
Cool Planet Technologies’ CEO Andrew Corner said “We are excited to be in the final stages of building our plant at Höver and we look forward to seeing this ground-breaking plant operational in the coming months. This will mark a major milestone in the industrial deployment of our technology and positions Cool Planet at the forefront of lower cost, scalable industrial carbon capture solutions.”
