Climate-neutral cement: New start date in Lägerdorf postponed to 2030!

Climate-neutral cement: New start date in Lägerdorf postponed to 2030!

The cement industry also plays an important role in the current discussion about sustainability and climate-neutral technologies. As ndr.de reports, Holcim has postponed the planned progress for its climate-neutral cement plant in Lägerdorf by two years. The new start date is now 2030. The rapid implementation of the measures could be ensured if the Carbon Storage Act, which the Bundestag recently voted on, is approved by the Bundesrat on November 21st.

This law creates the possibility of capturing CO2 from cement production and storing it in underground repositories, for example in the seabed off Brunsbüttel. The delay of the project from the end of 2028 to 2030 is therefore directly linked to the approval documents that are still required, which could not be submitted without a legal basis. The planned citizens' dialogue on November 17th, at which Klaus Wallmann from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel will appear as a guest speaker, is intended to involve the population in this important development.

Invitation to the citizen dialogue

The meeting will take place at the Alsenhof in Lägerdorf and starts at 7 p.m. Participation is free, but registration is required. It will be interesting to see how citizens feel about the carbon storage plans, as the technology has also faced criticism. In particular, the law, which has not yet been passed, raises questions and creates uncertainty for those affected.

A step into the future

However, Holcim's plans are only a small part of a much larger picture. Implementing such technologies could have a positive impact on the entire industry, especially when considering the challenges of carbon emissions. Move to green, you could say - and that doesn't just apply to cement, but to many areas of our economy.

And anyone who thinks that the issue of sustainability is only important in industry is wrong. There are also opportunities in everyday life to become active and take advantage of benefits. For example, adslzone.net introduced the Microsoft Rewards Service, which gives users the opportunity to collect points through their activities. Whether you're shopping in the Microsoft Store, playing Xbox or just searching on Bing - every click counts. These points can be used to redeem real rewards, such as vouchers or donations to charities.

So whether in industry or in everyday life – the step towards sustainability and conscious consumption has long been an issue that affects us all. It remains exciting to see how developments around Holcim and CO2 storage continue to develop and what opportunities we as consumers can use to actively contribute to a greener future.
