In order to nevertheless achieve the goal of climate neutrality in the cement industry, the process-related CO₂ emissions must be captured and transported to locations for material use or to permanent CO₂ storage sites. To this end, bayernets and Rohrdorfer are conducting a feasibility study on a CO₂ transport network that will connect the cement plant at the Rohrdorf site with potential CO₂ users in the Bavarian chemical triangle of Burghausen. The possibility of connecting to underground storage facilities for intermediate CO₂ storage and to a national, Germany-wide CO₂ network is also being investigated.

bayernets and Rohrdorfer are convinced that a CO₂ circular economy, in which CO₂ sources are connected to sites for material use or to geological storage sites, must be established. Only in this way can climate neutrality also be achieved in economic sectors with unavoidable, process-related CO₂ emissions. Such a circular economy requires a powerful and efficient pipeline infrastructure.

However, this is not solely a technological challenge. In order to remain an attractive industrial location in a climate-neutral future, cooperation between industry, infrastructure companies and politics as well as social acceptance are necessary.

Through this cooperation, bayernets and Rohrdorfer are making their contribution to the development of a CO₂ circular economy and climate neutrality.
