General Presentation

Brevik, the world’s 1st industrial-scale CCS project is a reality!

Larry Rowland, Sustainability Market Manager for Heidelberg Materials

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a mission-critical technology in the roadmap to decarbonize the cement and concrete industries. In June 2025, Heidelberg Materials launched the first industrial-scale CCS project at the cement manufacturing facility in Brevik, Norway. This breakthrough technology is up and running now, allowing Heidelberg Materials to offer evoZero Carbon Captured Brevik, a high-quality carbon-captured cement enabling net-zero concrete. Once the CCS system at Brevik is fully optimized, Brevik is expected to capture 400,000 metric tons of CO2 for permanent storage per year. This presentation explains what makes Carbon Capture and Storage such a critical technology and how it can be used to reduce Scope 3 emissions for project teams.

Blended cement and new SCMs, the pathway to success

Matt Spencer, VP of customer solutions, and Cheng Qi, Director of R&D for Ash Grove

Ash Grove, a CRH Company, is a leading supplier of cement in the US and a champion of new cementitious materials. For 142 years, Ash Grove has provided cementitious materials to construct highways, bridges, commercial and industrial complexes, homes, and other structures fundamental to the nation’s economic vitality and quality of life.
Matt Spencer, VP of customer solutions, and Cheng Qi, Director of R&D, will jointly discuss the company’s long history and current work of developing blended cement and SCMs (calcined clay, natural pozzolans, coal ash products etc.) to advance Ash Grove’s commitments to lowering emissions, and enhancing resilience in the built environment. The webinar will detail Ash Grove’s existing and new low-emission concrete solutions. Laboratory-scale studies and field construction trials will be highlighted. The webinar will also highlight the need for accelerated code and specification changes, the development of testing methods, and a solutions-driven approach in deploying low-emission concrete at the jobsite.

Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement as a low embodied carbon binder for sustainable concretes

Nick de Ocampo, Director of Sustainability & Senior Materials Engineer for CTS

CTS Cement is the leading manufacturer of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement in North America. Nick de Ocampo, Director of Sustainability at CTS Cement, will discuss the company’s history, development, and implementation of CSA cement throughout the years. The webinar will highlight the performance characteristics that make CSA cements an excellent choice for high-performance, long-lasting concrete solutions. Because of the increased performance, CSA cements enable resilient concrete pavements and structures and have lower embodied carbons than the industry standard as a result of the optimal manufacturing conditions utilized to create CSA cement. Finally, CTS Cement produces tens of thousands of tons of CSA cement annually making it an at-scale, market-ready product.
