Leilac 2
LEILAC 2 - Low Emissions Intensity Lime and Cement 2. The LEILAC2 project will scale up the CO2 capture technology which was developed during LEILAC 1 project. This breakthrough technology will be applied to cement and lime industries and aims to reduce over 95% of the process CO2 emissions (which is 60 % of total CO2 emissions). The CO2 capture capacity of LEILAC2 project at Hanover will be around 100.000 tpa. Leilac-2 has passed Financial Investment Decision (FID) on 23 March 2022. The demontration plant aims to become operational by 2025 and will be integrated into Heidelberg Materials’s operational plant in Hannover, Germany.
