Cooperative Agreement DECD0000090

The Mitchell Cement Plant Decarbonization Project, led by Heidelberg Materials US, Inc., has been awarded a $500,000,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255). This project plans to construct and operate an integrated carbon capture, transport, and storage system at Heidelberg Materials' cement plant in Mitchell, Indiana. The system is designed to capture at least 95% of carbon dioxide emissions from the base plant and steam generation, preventing two million metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere annually. This project builds on previous Front-End Engineering and Design studies funded by the Department of Energy and represents one of the first carbon capture and storage projects for cement facilities in the nation. Additionally, the project is expected to create approximately 20-25 permanent jobs and up to 1,000 construction jobs during the construction phase.
