Great news from Devnya, Bulgaria! Over the past six months, we’ve made significant progress with installing the temporary OxyCal and Oxygen storage unit at the Heidelberg Materials Bulgaria plant – fully integrated into the commercially operating kiln. ANRAV will be our first full-chain CCUS project in Eastern Europe, and will eventually cover carbon capture, transport, and storage as well as utilisation. In a first step towards full-scale implementation, the novel ANRAV.beta pilot will demonstrate OxyCal technology on an industrial scale. The technology is based on the addition of pure oxygen to the clinker burning process, resulting in a CO2-rich flue gas that can be reused or safely stored. As a result, the facility will have a capturing capacity of 800,000 t CO2 per year. Additionally, we will conduct performance tests using 100 % alternative fuels, making ANRAV a key milestone for future initiatives towards carbon neutrality.

I see Carbon Capture and Storage in the earth as an interim strategy. For every atom of Carbon we permanently store in the ground, 2 atoms of atmospheric Oxygen go with it. Oxy firing makes good sense. I like the Utilization intention much better than geologic storage. Also a fan of using biofuels combined with carbon capture, utilization and to some extent sequestration because that is a pathway to de carbonize the atmosphere. We need to get back to 350ppm CO2 and are currently clocking in at 427ppm CO2.
