Heidelberg Materials targets 95% CO2 capture at Padeswood cement plant

• Heidelberg Materials began main foundation work for its Padeswood carbon capture project in North Wales, UK.
• The project aims to capture about 95% of the cement plant’s CO₂ emissions, roughly 800,000 metric tons annually, for permanent storage.
• The first major equipment components are expected on site from April 2027.
• In July 2026, its Mergelstetten research facility with three cement partners opened, achieving its first high-purity CO₂ capture as dry ice.
