Funded800,000 tonnes CO2 captured per year

ANRAV is Heidelberg Materials (Devnya Cement)'s cement project at Devnya, Bulgaria.

Why it matters

It has money awarded and has not taken a final investment decision.

Where ANRAV is

ANRAV is at Devnya cement works. The store its captured CO₂ reaches is drawn with it. Nothing else drawn falls inside this frame.

  • by 2026-09-09FundedAWARD TERMINATED. The Innovation Fund's own project factsheet for grant 101085967 — 'ANRAV-CCUS' — carries the word TERMINATED twice over an award of 'EUR 189,694,949' to DEVNYA CEMENT AD, and states 'FINANCIAL CLOSE DATE 30 September, 2026' and 'ENTRY INTO OPERATION DATE 31 October, 2029'. The funder is the speaker and this is money leaving the project. THE DATE IS AN UPPER BOUND: the fiche says 'Updated on 09 September 2026' and gives no date for the termination. THE STATUS DOES NOT MOVE and an owner look is queued. D-B19, applied.source

Technology and measures

  • Post-combustion carbon captureearly-commercialCO2 is separated from the kiln's flue gas after combustion, using an amine or solvent process bolted onto an existing plant, which is what makes it the retrofit route for kilns that are not being rebuilt.
  • CO2 transport and storageearly-commercialThe pipelines, ships, terminals and permitted geological stores that a captured tonne has to reach before it counts as abated, and which no single site that captures can build for itself.

Funding

  • €190 mEU Innovation Fundapprovedets:FND-03Awarded under the Innovation Fund as it stands today (Art. 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC). The register carries the Fund through the ETS revision's Art. 10cb, which re-establishes it, so ets:FND-03 is the register's handle on the programme rather than the provision this award was made under.“The Innovation Fund will provide a total of around 190 million euros in financing to Heidelberg Materials and partner PetroCeltic”source
