LafargeHolcim news

Carbon Clean, a leader in low-cost carbon dioxide capture and separation technology, has announced that it has signed an agreement in Spain with LafargeHolcim, ECCO2 and Sistemas de Calor to develop a large-scale carbon capture and utilisation plant.

The company has launched its EcoLabel to communicate the environmental benefits of its green building solutions.

The companies are working together to reuse waste from the aluminium smelting process to make cement. This will reduce the need to extract other raw materials and create value from waste.

The company has announced that it has closed its deal with LafargeHolcim, acquiring 75% of the company’s cement terminal at Thilafushi Island in the Maldives.

With reinforcement from government funding from the US and Germany, LafargeHolcim’s carbon capture portfolio now exceeds 20 projects across the US, Canada and Europe.

LafargeHolcim in the US announced the opening of a new solar field next to its Holcim Hagerstown Cement Plant in Maryland, which will provide clean, renewable energy for the facility’s operations.

In response to the increasing market demand for performance and sustainability, the LafargeHolcim family of companies in the US has rebranded its portfolio of blended cements and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) as the Envirocore™ Series.

Four LafargeHolcim facilities in the US have received recognition from The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA).

The company has joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) ‘Business Ambition for 1.5°C,’ becoming the first global building materials company to sign the pledge with intermediate targets for 2030, validated by SBTi2.

With its global open innovation platform LH MAQER, LafargeHolcim is inviting talented data and technical minds to reinvent sustainable cities by participating in HackZurich, Europe's largest hackathon, on 18 – 20 September 2020.
