All good things come in threes We’ve announced today that we have entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Highway Materials, Inc., one of the largest independent aggregates and asphalt producers in the Greater Philadelphia market. Earlier this month, Heidelberg Materials North America already successfully acquired two companies in Texas: Victory Rock Texas, llc, a producer of high-quality aggregates for concrete and asphalt, and Aaron Materials, an established concrete recycler and materials producer. These acquisitions not only strengthen our presence in core markets, but they are adding to our rapidly growing portfolio of circular solutions across North America, underlining our commitment to achieving net zero and increasing the circular economy. https://lnkd.in/eTRxksMS

Levvel-blocs are specially designed concrete blocks used to protect breakwaters and coastal areas against waves. These blocks perfectly combine the essential use of concrete in terms of resilience and durability with great innovation potential. In collaboration with Heidelberg Materials Benelux, a pioneering binder system was developed and applied in the Levvel-blocs. The binder system combines recycled and carbonated concrete paste with calcined clay, significantly reducing the binder’s CO2-footprint. In a pilot project, these robust blocks will now be deployed in the challenging marine environment of the Dutch coast for further testing and future applications.

Great news from Devnya, Bulgaria! Over the past six months, we’ve made significant progress with installing the temporary OxyCal and Oxygen storage unit at the Heidelberg Materials Bulgaria plant – fully integrated into the commercially operating kiln. ANRAV will be our first full-chain CCUS project in Eastern Europe, and will eventually cover carbon capture, transport, and storage as well as utilisation. In a first step towards full-scale implementation, the novel ANRAV.beta pilot will demonstrate OxyCal technology on an industrial scale. The technology is based on the addition of pure oxygen to the clinker burning process, resulting in a CO2-rich flue gas that can be reused or safely stored. As a result, the facility will have a capturing capacity of 800,000 t CO2 per year. Additionally, we will conduct performance tests using 100 % alternative fuels, making ANRAV a key milestone for future initiatives towards carbon neutrality.

Yesterday was all about sustainable financing at the World Green Building Council’s Global Solutions Forum in London. As a significant step towards our sustainability goals, we talked about the importance of our recently introduced Green Finance Framework aligned with the latest market standards. Under this framework, we became the first European manufacturer in the heavy building materials industry to successfully place a Green Bond, raising €700 million. Our rationale is clear. We want to align our funding needs with our sustainability strategy. The newly introduced framework, alongside our sustainability-linked bonds issued in 2023 (each totaling EUR 750 million), will help us increase transparency, showcase how we utilise the funds, and further promote green initiatives. The goal is to increase the share of sustainable financial instruments to over 70% by 2025. #SustainableFinance #GreenBuilding #Decarbonization #GreenBonds #Sustainability #WorldGBC #GlobalSolutionsForum Anna Wild

A new day, a new heavy lift. At this week's operation, six oxygen tanks with a weight of more than 150 tonnes had to be installed at their intended foundations in Mergelstetten, Germany. With the installation of the tanks for the oxyfuel plant, we are one step further towards firing up our first plant that is going to utilise the so-called pure oxyfuel process for carbon capture, with an expected start in the first quarter of 2025. The clinker burning process, in which pure oxygen is introduced into the kiln instead of air, significantly increases the CO2 capture potential. The oxygen tanks will provide a total storage capacity of around 360 cubic metres of liquid oxygen for the operation of the Pure Oxyfuel plant. Catch4climate is a joint venture together with our partners Buzzi SpA - Dyckerhoff GmbH, SCHWENK Deutschland Zement GmbH und Co KG and VICAT S.A. The oxygen tanks were supplied by Westfalen AG.

Yesterday, we hosted the groundbreaking ceremony for our large-scale carbon capture and liquefaction plant in Lengfurt, Germany, together with Linde. This will be the first CCU installation on an industrial scale for the cement industry in Germany – a big milestone for us! Under the joint venture “Capture-to-Use” (CAP2U), we will build and operate a carbon capture and liquefaction plant, which will enable the captured and purified CO₂ from cement production to be utilised as a valuable raw material for industrial applications, for example in both the food and chemical industries. The planned volume of purified and liquefied CO₂ will be around 70,000 tonnes per year. http://spkl.io/60494Ac9x Linde Engineering

Quarries offer a wide variety of habitats and support many endangered and/or protected species. But to truly move from biodiversity loss to gain, a concerted effort is needed by everyone, working together in the recovery of nature at a landscape scale. So today we launched the sixth edition of the Quarry Life Award, our nature-based competition, across more than 15 countries worldwide. Researchers, students, local communities, NGOs, and nature lovers from around the world can pitch ideas for sustainable quarry management and compete for prizes. Together with partner organisations such as BirdLife International, we aim to raise awareness of biodiversity associated with extraction sites and nature as a whole, underlining our commitment to the Global Goal for Nature and making a positive contribution to nature. At the European level, we have been supporting the ambitious targets of the EU Nature Restoration and believe that by restoring EU land and sea areas on a large scale can we ensure the long-term sustainability and viability of our society and economy. http://spkl.io/60404AgDq

Today, we successfully placed our first Green Bond as part of our recently published Green Finance Framework and as first European manufacturer in the heavy building materials industry. The range of projects financed by the bond spans from the modernisation of plants, for example to increase use of alternative fuels, to the expansion of carbon capture technologies, underlining our commitment to our decarbonisation and sustainable finance goals. https://lnkd.in/eSkQkZdp
