Heidelberg Materials’ carbon captured near-zero cement hits the UK market

Heidelberg Materials’ evoZero cement has arrived in the UK from the company’s Brevik plant in Norway.

Around 3500 t of the product has been delivered by sea to the Port of Goole in East Riding of Yorkshire. It is being stored in silos and is available for use in projects across England.

“evoZero is the world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement and sets new standards for sustainable building materials,” said Andy Murphy, UK Group Commercial Director.

“The product achieves its near-zero footprint through the application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and will help the UK construction industry reach its decarbonisation aims.

“It has a uniquely low Global Warming Potential, delivered via a process that is fully third-party verified by DNV and digitally traceable to ensure transparency.”

Heidelberg Materials is committed to scaling solutions like evoZero across its operations as part of its Strategy 2030 and, based on the knowledge and experience gained at Brevik, it has around a dozen other CCS products underway across the globe.

The next to be operational will be in the UK at its Padeswood cement works in north Wales. This project reached a final investment decision with the UK Government in September 2025 and will produce evoZero in 2029.

Padeswood CCS builds on the success of Brevik, which captures around 50% of the plant’s CO₂ emissions; approximately 400 000 tpy. The Padeswood facility is designed to capture almost all (around 95%) of the carbon emissions from the existing cement works – around 800 000 tpy.
