LafargeHolcim Spain, Carbon Clean and Sistemas de Calor have created ECCO2, a joint-venture for the development of a CO capture plant, using advanced technology in the cement factory of Carboneras (Almería). The three companies have been working on the project since the end of 2020, in order to assess its technical feasibility and benefits for the local community. The plant is expected to come online in early 2023.
