Co2llect – Innovation in Carbon Capture and Transport

The Cemex-Linde project aims to capture 1.3 million metric tons of CO₂ annually from Cemex’s Rüdersdorf Cement Plant in Germany, as part of Cemex's strategy targeting net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2050 and decarbonizing the Rüdersdorf plant by 2030. The project will deploy Linde’s CO₂ capture technology, which uses an advanced cryogenic-absorptive process to capture CO₂ directly from the plant's exhaust gases. The captured CO₂ will be compressed, liquefied, and transported by rail to a CO₂ Hub, then shipped to offshore storage in the North Sea for permanent sequestration. To enhance sustainability, the project incorporates locally generated green electricity and recycles water condensed from exhaust gases.
