What Cement's Bet on Carbon Capture Teaches Every Hard-to-Abate Industry
Roughly two-thirds of cement's emissions are unavoidable process CO₂ - which is why Titan has gone all-in on carbon capture. This session shares how the hardest to abate sectors are approaching this challenge, and the hard-won CCUS lessons that other industrial uses need to learn; moving from pilot to full-scale deployment, the real costs, and the shared CO₂ infrastructure it depends on. Two thirds of cement's CO₂ is unavoidable process emissions - the lesson in when to stop optimising and commit to CCUS.
Pilot → full-scale: what actually works, realistic timelines and cost (~€100+/t CO₂ avoided) — transferable to any capture-reliant site.
The business case: how CBAM and rising EU carbon costs translate into first-mover advantage for businesses.
No one captures alone: why shared CO₂ transport & storage make or break the economics - a lesson for any industry to learn
