Christian Salles and Eric Joyce from our team attended the Carbon Capture Technology Expo North America last week, reconnecting with clients, meeting new faces, and sharing insights from our CCUS Database.

Christian’s talk on AI in CCUS got great engagement, but the real value was in the conversations that followed.

Here’s what they shared with us post-conference:

▸ EPCs are leading the charge, shifting to fit-for-purpose gear built for CO₂, not just borrowed from oil & gas.

▸ Cement is getting serious. CCUS is its only real decarbonisation path, and momentum is building despite the hurdles.

▸ Tech is branching out from membranes to biogenic capture, DAC, and thermal storage; innovation is moving fast.

▸ AI is moving in. From real-time monitoring to predictive maintenance, digital tools are boosting speed and reliability.

▸ Infrastructure is both the biggest barrier and the biggest opportunity. Especially in compression and pipelines.

▸ Specs matter. CO₂ purity, moisture, and custody transfer are becoming critical for commercial reliability.

Curious how these insights connect to your CCUS strategy?

The cement industry accounts for nearly 25% of all industrial emissions, making it a key player in climate change.

However, change is underway as companies adopt technologies that significantly cut emissions, pushing the sector toward sustainability.

Companies like Sublime Systems, Carbon Upcycling Technologies, Material Evolution, Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, Saint-Gobain, Terra CO2, Brimstone, Votorantim Cimentos, and LafargeHolcim are at the forefront of developing green cement and low-carbon alternative materials.

These innovations, from carbon-negative cement to reducing CO₂ emissions by thousands of tons annually, are shaping the future of the industry.

In our latest report, authored by Marija Jovic, PhD, Beatriz Gonçalves, MSc, and Mohammed Jimshid, we explore the impact of these companies’ efforts in advancing sustainable cement production.
