1 17 th October 2018, Brussel - Belgium ECRA/CEMCAP/CLEANKER Workshop Carbon Capture Technologies in the Cement Industry EU research project CLEANKER Technology, progress and project perspectives Martina Fantini

2 Summary Project objectives The demo plant The consortium Work packages and main activities CLEANKER project timeline 2

3 Primary project objectives The ultimate objective of CLEANKER is advancing the integrated Calcium-looping process for CO 2 capture in cement plants. This fundamental objective will be achieved by pursuing the following primary targets: Demonstrate the integrated CaL process at TRL 7, in a new demo system connected to the operating cement burning line of the Vernasca ton/y cement plant, operated by BUZZI in Italy. Demonstrate the technical-economic feasibility of the integrated CaL process in retrofitted large scale cement plants through process modelling and scale-up study. Demonstrate the storage of the CO 2 captured from the CaL demo system, through mineralization of inorganic material in a pilot reactor of 100 litres to be built in Vernasca, next to the CaL demo system. 3
