EU awards Euro228m towards CCUS upgrade at Lafarge Poland’s Kujawy cement plant

25 January 2023

Poland: The European Union (EU) Innovation Fund has awarded Euro228m towards the Go4ECOPlanet carbon capture and storage project at Lafarge Poland’s Kujawy cement plant. The project has a total cost of Euro380m.

It will use Air Liquide's Cryocap FG technology to capture the CO2 at the plant. The CO2 will be liquefied and transported by rail to a port and then injected into a depleted oil field for permanent storage. The transport and storage of CO2 once it has left the cement plant will be accomplished by cooperation with other partners with knowledge and experience in the liquefaction, transport and storage of gases. The goal is to create a complete carbon capture and storage industrial and logistics chain. Commissioning of the cement plant upgrade is planned for 2027.
