Technology and measures

  • Oxyfuel carbon capturedemonstrationThe kiln is fired with oxygen rather than air, so the flue gas is concentrated CO2 and needs far less separation, at the price of rebuilding the kiln rather than bolting equipment onto it.

Funding

  • undisclosedEU 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.Confirmed by the company; the amount is not stated on the page read.source
