Primary CCUS Area: Industrial

Viridor

Every day Viridor takes what British homes and businesses throw away and transforms it into essential quality materials, resources and energy for customers across the UK and globally.
Viridor has some of the largest Energy Recovery Facilities (ERFs) in the UK which maximise resource efficiency from non-recyclable waste. In 2018/19, we received 6.8 million tonnes of residual waste across all of our facilities, producing enough electricity to power 738,000 homes.
Viridor already has a strong record in improving recycling rates and reducing emissions across its business. Over the last 10 years, we have saved around 7 million tonnes of CO2e through diverting waste from landfill and offsetting the emissions associated with grid power generation. But in order to reach net zero by 2050, Viridor wants to invest in the infrastructure and innovation that will enable us to go further and faster in the years ahead. Continuing to be a leader in creating a sustainable long-term future for the waste sector as a whole.
Viridor is particularly focused on how we can make our fleet of ERFs carbon neutral and then carbon negative. We are exploring the opportunity for investment in CCUS to take our business net negative and put the UK in a leading position when it comes to building a zero-carbon, truly circular economy.
To support this ambition, Viridor is the first in our sector to join the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA). Through the CCSA, Viridor will demonstrate the potential value of CCUS across the economy and explore synergies with companies at the forefront of the very latest technological advances in CCUS. The CCSA plays a crucial role in supporting the significant work underway across Government to make CCUS projects a reality which will be crucial to ensuring ERF’s can facilitate a net zero waste sector.

Sumitomo Corporation

Sumitomo Corporation engages in multifaceted global business activities by making the most of its Integrated Corporate Strength, including sales of a variety of products and services, import and export, trilateral trade, and domestic and international business investment.
In 2019, the Board of Directors decided on the Group’s Policies on Climate Change Issues to clarify the role we are to play in overcoming climate change issues. We’re aiming for carbon neutral by 2050 with CCS as one of key business development targets to achieve sustainable energy cycle in society.
In UK, through the history since 1955, Sumitomo has been involved in wide range of business industries including oil and gas, metals, power, water, agriculture etc.. In 2020, Sumitomo has been selected to participate in the feasibility study for Bacton Energy Hub project by Oil and Gas Authority (currently North Sea Transition Authority), and currently contributes as the lead company of the Hydrogen Supply SIG(Special Interest Group).

Phillips 66 UK

 The Phillips 66 Limited Humber Refinery is advancing a differentiated, innovative, sustainable business platform with a unique product portfolio that supports the energy transition and benefits the local economy.

Today, the refinery produces traditional and lower carbon road fuels and is the UK’s only refinery to supply sustainable aviation fuel at scale. Additionally, the refinery is Europe’s largest producer of speciality graphite coke, a critical mineral used in lithium-ion batteries and in electrodes for recycling steel in electric arc furnaces.

As part of plans to lower operational emissions, the refinery is also exploring hydrogen refuelling and carbon capture. We are proud to be part of Humber Zero, a project crucial to decarbonising the Humber region for a net zero future. As part of this initiative, we plan to retrofit carbon capture technology at our Humber Refinery to reduce operational emissions. Together with VPI’s Combined Heat and Power Plant, we aim to capture up to 3.8 million tonnes of CO2 annually once operational.

Our refinery is strategically located close to the planned Viking CCS CO2 pipeline, which will transport captured carbon emissions from the Humber region to depleted gas fields in the North Sea for storage. Led by Harbour Energy, Viking CCS has been awarded Track 2 status as part of the UK government’s CCS cluster sequencing process. In collaboration with VPI, we aim to have the first two carbon capture plants connected to this pipeline to transport industrial carbon emissions for permanent storage.

Holcim

Holcim is the leading partner for sustainable construction. With 48,300 employees across 45 countries, the company is driven by our purpose to build progress for people and planet. As such, its industry-shaping decarbonization roadmap is independently validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

To achieve its 2050 net zero targets, Holcim is focusing on three key decarbonization levers; formulation, alternative energy sources and advanced technologies including carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).

As of 2025, Holcim has seven CCUS projects in execution supported by the EU Innovation Fund, representing a gross investment of EUR 2 billion. Collectively, these projects will allow the company to supply its customers with more than 8 million tons of near-zero cement by 2030.

These projects are practical, scalable, and supported by cutting-edge technology, positioning Holcim at the forefront of the global shift toward decarbonization. One of these projects, the GO4ZERO CCS project in Belgium, perfectly exemplifies Holcim’s practical approach to carbon capture. By implementing a robust CCS value chain, the company intends to decarbonize over 2 million tons of cement by the end of the decade.

Supported by a EUR 230 million grant from the European Union Innovation Fund, GO4ZERO has two phases. The first focuses on modernizing the clinker production process, to enhance efficiency and significantly reduce the plant’s carbon footprint. In the second phase, Holcim will deploy a comprehensive end-to-end CCS value chain, leveraging cutting-edge technology to concentrate CO2 to over 80%, thus making it easier to capture.

To ensure effective capture, transport, and storage of CO2, Holcim is establishing key partnerships with industry experts across the carbon management value chain – in capture technologies, transportation, and safe storage solutions.

Essentially, Holcim is creating a new value chain that will help the company and its customers to achieve climate goals, and generate tangible financial returns.
