A US delegation of 21 leaders from business, government and NGOs – organised by the Great Plains Institute – visited our Leilac-1 pilot plant, in Lixhe, Belgium on 7 June 2023. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to share the #technology and #policy solutions driving the #decarbonisation of cement. In addition to a tour of our purpose-built solution to capture #CO2 released unavoidably during the production of cement and lime, we also shared plans for additional projects, such as Leilac-2, our demonstration plant in Hannover, Germany. Both Leilac-1 and Leilac-2 are supported by the European Union, Heidelberg Materials, CEMEX and a consortium of industry partners.     The Great Plains Institute, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is working to transform the energy system to benefit the economy and environment. It does so by bringing together disparate interests to broker consensus to create solutions that no one interest group would have come to on their own.     The delegation, representing diverse sectors from across the US, share a keen interest in #cement and #lime decarbonisation as well as government policymaking, such as the US Inflation Reduction Act and the EU’s European Green Deal, both of which are contributing greatly to growing the development of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (#CCUS) initiatives.      Leilac was delighted to host the delegation and grateful for the efforts each member is making to shape our collective future and provide a direction for cement decarbonisation. Partnerships are critical to the system-level changes needed to reach net zero and we actively seek strategic partnerships at local, regional, national, and international levels.
