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.
The Jury‘s Statement
Climate-conscious construction requires materials that drastically reduce emissions while remaining reliably usable. evoZero sends a strong signal by not only avoiding carbon but deliberately binding it and integrating it into a new value creation logic. This way, sustainability becomes not an add-on but the core of the material decision. The solution opens a realistic path for transformation in the industry because it addresses impact on a large scale while also providing compatibility with existing construction processes. This creates a new standard for responsible infrastructure.
