Air Liquide and Holcim signed an agreement to develop a carbon capture solution for Holcim's near-zero cement plant in Obourg, Belgium. Air Liquide will supply oxygen for the clinker production line and implement its Cryocap™ OXY technology for efficient CO₂ capture.

The captured CO₂ will be transported to a CO₂ Export Hub for offshore storage in the North Sea. The project aims to capture 1.1 million tons of CO₂ annually as part of Holcim's GO4ZERO investment program, targeting carbon neutrality in Belgium by 2030, contributing to the EU's 2050 net zero goal.
