en.Wedoany.com Reported - A 15-year subsidy agreement for the ACCSION project has been signed, with a maximum annual subsidy of approximately €146 million and a cumulative maximum amount of about €2.2 billion. The subsidy amount will be adjusted based on inflation indices. The successful completion of this full-chain CCS project depends on the timely coordinated commissioning of capture, transport, and storage infrastructure.

This agreement marks a significant milestone for one of the most impactful industrial decarbonization projects in Europe's hardest-to-abate sectors, and also enables Denmark to develop a new value chain for carbon capture, transport, and onshore storage.

Through the ACCSION project, the Cementir Group will advance its climate strategy, helping it achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 direct emissions at its European cement plants. Francesco Caltagirone Jr., Chairman and CEO of Cementir Holding, stated that with this agreement, a decisive step can now be taken to complete one of Europe's largest industrial carbon capture projects, which will place Cementir at the forefront of decarbonization and demonstrate how hard-to-abate sectors can achieve large-scale transformation.

Once operational, the project is expected to capture 2.3 million tonnes of CO2 annually, nearly half of the total target of the Danish Fund, making a significant contribution to Denmark's climate goals while enhancing the country's long-term industrial competitiveness in the green transition.
