Post-combustion carbon captureearly-commercialCO2 is separated from the kiln's flue gas after combustion, using an amine or solvent process bolted onto an existing plant, which is what makes it the retrofit route for kilns that are not being rebuilt.
CO2 transport and storageearly-commercialThe pipelines, ships, terminals and permitted geological stores that a captured tonne has to reach before it counts as abated, and which no single cement plant can build for itself.

€190 mEU Innovation Fundapprovedets:FND-03Awarded under the Innovation Fund as it stands today (Art. 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC). The register carries the Fund through the ETS revision's Art. 10cb, which re-establishes it, so ets:FND-03 is the register's handle on the programme rather than the provision this award was made under.“The Innovation Fund will provide a total of around 190 million euros in financing to Heidelberg Materials and partner PetroCeltic”source
