evoZero cement hits the UK market

evoZero cement has arrived in the UK from our Brevik plant in Norway.

Around 3,500 tonnes of the product has been delivered by sea to the Port of Goole in East Riding of Yorkshire. It is being stored in silos and is available for use in construction projects across the UK.

Carbon captured cement

evoZero is the world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement and sets new standards for sustainable building materials. It achieves its near-zero footprint through the application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and will help the UK construction industry reach its decarbonisation aims.

The product has a uniquely low Global Warming Potential, delivered via a process that is fully third-party verified by DNV and digitally traceable to ensure transparency.

Sustainable construction materials

We are committed to scaling solutions like evoZero across our operations as part of our Strategy 2030 and, based on the knowledge and experience gained at Brevik, we have around a dozen other CCS projects underway across the globe.

The next to be operational will be here in the UK at our Padeswood cement works in north Wales. We reached a final investment decision with the UK Government in September 2025 and evoZero will be produced at the site in 2029.

Padeswood CCS builds on the success of Brevik, which captures around 50 per cent of the plant’s CO₂ emissions; approximately 400,000 tonnes a year. The Padeswood facility is designed to capture almost all (around 95 per cent) of the carbon emissions from the existing cement works – up to 800,000 tonnes a year.
