Concrete Chemicals facility, Germany


Name of the Project
Concrete Chemicals facility.
Location
Rüdersdorf, Germany.
Project Owner/s
Concrete Chemicals is a joint venture between renewable-energy company ENERTRAG, global cement producer CEMEX and electrolysis company Sunfire.
Project Description
The project entails the construction of a large-scale demonstration plant at CEMEX’s Rüdersdorf cement plant, which is considered one of Germany’s biggest cement production sites.
The facility will produce 5 000 t/y of green hydrocarbons in the first stage.
The feedstocks for the plant will be carbon dioxide, captured on site from the cement plant, and green hydrogen, produced by a co-located electrolyser.
Subsequently, the green hydrocarbons produced could be converted into synthetic fuels and various renewable chemical products. The consortium is also investigating a methanol synthesis route that produces green methanol from synthesis gas. The final technological path will be defined during project development, with the determined product focus forming the basis for the technical design of the plant.
The Concrete Chemicals facility will be powered solely by renewable electricity from ENERTRAG wind and solar power plants in the Brandenburg region. The project will provide an opportunity to serve as a blueprint for the cement industry in Europe and worldwide – demonstrating the technological possibilities to turn carbon dioxide into usable products.
