Heidelberg Materials has begun deliveries of evoZero®, the world’s first carbon-captured cement, marking a major milestone in the decarbonisation of the global construction industry. Developed at the company’s Brevik carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility in Norway, evoZero sets a new benchmark for sustainable construction with its near-zero carbon footprint and full third-party verification.
The product’s carbon reductions are digitally traceable and independently assured by DNV Business Assurance Germany GmbH, ensuring transparency and accountability across the supply chain.
Dr. Dominik von Achten, CEO of Heidelberg Materials, said:
“evoZero stands as proof of our commitment to measurable decarbonisation. The Brevik CCS facility is now directly contributing to reducing carbon emissions in the built environment.”
Among the first projects to use evoZero are Skanska’s Skøyen Station in Oslo, Norway, and the DREIHAUS 3D-printing project in Heidelberg, Germany. Skøyen Station—located 45 meters underground—will enhance Oslo’s public transport network, while DREIHAUS showcases the potential of 3D-printed housing with reduced material consumption and emissions.
The Brevik CCS plant, inaugurated in June 2025, is capable of capturing 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, or about 50% of the plant’s total emissions, which are securely stored under the North Sea.
Dr. Katharina Beumelburg, Chief Sustainability & New Technologies Officer, noted:
“With DNV’s assurance, evoZero provides unmatched transparency in value chain decarbonisation—helping our partners make every material choice count toward sustainability.”
Heidelberg Materials’ Carbon Bank digitally tracks stored CO₂ volumes, offering customers real-time data to verify carbon savings. The company continues to lead in sustainable materials, aiming to make low-carbon construction the new industry standard.
