Details
evoZero® from Heidelberg Materials is the world's first near-zero cement with industrial CO₂ capture – a technological breakthrough for decarbonising the building materials industry. The innovation is based on carbon capture and storage (CCS): CO₂ is captured directly in the production process and permanently stored underground. Every tonne saved is digitally traceable and independently verified. evoZero® offers full product diversity and industrial scalability – a solution for industries where conventional reduction levers are insufficient. A milestone for climate-neutral construction.
