Cool Planet Technologies announces that assembly of its 10 000 tpy carbon capture plant at Holcim’s Höver cement facility in Germany is now underway, with all major equipment successfully delivered to site.
Cool Planet’s construction team is currently installing and connecting the prefabricated modules, which is expected to be completed in April. Capture operations are scheduled to begin in mid- 2026 which will be followed by a 12 month demonstration programme.
Cool Planet Technologies' modular membrane-based carbon capture technology enabled the plant to be prefabricated offsite and transported to Höver for final assembly. The process modules were fabricated and assembled by Blackrow Engineering in the UK and will be integrated with other equipment manufactured in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy. Blackrow’s site team are assisting Cool Planet with the assembly of the plant.
Andrew Corner, CEO of Cool Planet, commented:
“We are excited to be in the final stages of the building of our plant at Höver and we look forward to seeing this ground-breaking plant operational in the coming months. This will mark a major milestone in the industrial deployment of our technology and positions Cool Planet at the forefront of lower cost, scalable industrial carbon capture solutions.”
