A carbon capture retrofit that can separate up to 95% of CO2 emissions at the Ste. Genevieve Cement Plant. The captured CO2 would be pipeline-ready for geological storage.
The design employs Air Liquide’s CrycocapTM FG system at the Holcim Ste. Genevieve cement plant, part of Holcim US, which features the largest single kiln in the world, commissioned in 2009. It has an annual Annual cement production capacity of 4.5 million metric tons.
The Ste. Genevieve plant is located in Bloomsdale, Missouri.
The Cryocap FG system combines the Pressure Swing Adsorption capabilities with cryogenic refrigeration technologies to achieve high CO2 capture rates with high CO2 purity rates.
On October 6, 2021, the United States Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory selected the University of Illinois for $4 million in federal funding, in addition to cost share contributions by Holcim and Air Liquide, for research and development to support the FEED study.
