Heidelberg Materials’ evoZero cement hits the UK market
Around 3,500 tonnes stored in silos at Port of Goole for use in projects throughout England
HEIDELBERG Materials’ evoZero cement has arrived in the UK from the company’s Brevik plant in Norway.
Around 3,500 tonnes of the product has been delivered by sea to the Port of Goole in East Riding of Yorkshire, where 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 UK group commercial director Andy Murphy.
‘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 decarbonization 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 are committed to scaling solutions such as evoZero across their operations as part of their Strategy 2030 and, based on the knowledge and experience gained at Brevik, they have around a dozen other CCS products under way across the globe.
The next to be operational will be in the UK at the company’s 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 tonnes a year. The Padeswood facility is designed to capture almost all (around 95%) of the carbon emissions from the existing cement works – around 800,000 tonnes a year.
