Europe: Australia-based engineering firm Worley has signed a non-exclusive owner's engineering master services agreement (MSA) with Holcim to support carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects across the producer's EU and UK cement plants. The MSA covers 14 projects, eight of which currently have backing from the EU Innovation Fund. Worley will provide engineering oversight, project management and engineering integration across multiple sites, from early-stage development through execution.
Holcim aims to capture 5Mt/yr of CO₂ from 2030 in order to achieve near-zero cement production of 8Mt/yr.
