Heidelberg Materials is one of the largest building materials companies in the world. In Germany, it is the market leader in cement and ready-mix concrete as well as a leader in sand and gravel. Heidelberg Materials has set itself the goal of offering a “net-zero concrete” by 2050 at the latest. As a technology leader, Heidelberg Materials is driving forward the development of manufacturing processes in which CO₂ is avoided, captured, utilised and stored. The regional projects and technologies for CO2 capture are a central component of the strategy to secure a sustainable and climate-friendly future.
‘We are working hard to reduce the carbon footprint of our cement portfolio. This includes the expansion of the circular economy and the use of concrete recyclates as well as projects to capture CO2.’
