Location
The map below shows the exact location of the cement plant in Brevik, Telemark, Norway[1]:
Coordinates (WGS 84): 59.061659, 9.690074 (exact)[2]
Background
Originally founded as Nordland Portland Cementfabrik, the company became Norcem in 1968 as a merger with two other cement factories: Christiania Portland Cementfabrikk and Dalen Portland Cemetfabrikk. In 1987 Norcem merged with Aker mekaniske Verksted, then in 1995 the company merged with Euroc owned by Skanska of Sweden to form Scancem. In 1999, Scancem was acquired by HeidelbergCement, now Heidelberg Materials.
In 2024, The Brevik plant began implementation of a CCS project, part of Norway's Longship initiative, which aims to capture up to 400,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually, equating to 50% of the plant's emissions. The CCS project represents the world's first industrial-scale carbon capture facility in a cement plant, wiht operation expected to commence in 2025.
