Oct 11 – Thyssenkrupp and Titan Group recently signed in the Greek capital Athens a Front-End Engineering Design (Feed) contract for the Carbon Capture Project Ifestos. Ifestos is one of the largest carbon capture projects in Europe, enabling the production of zero-carbon cement and concrete. The signing ceremony was attended by Marcel Cobuz, Chairman of Titan Group Executive Committee; Samir Cairae, Chief Technology Officer of Titan Group; Leonidas Canellopoulos, Chief Sustainability and Innovation Officer of Titan Group; Dr. Cetin Nazikkol, Chief Strategy Officer at thyssenkrupp Decarbon Technologies and Christian Myland, CEO thyssenkrupp Polysius. The engineering contract provides for thyssenkrupp to design and equip the two kiln lines of the Kamari cement plant with oxyfuel systems for CO2 capture. This technology will enable the plant's CO2 emissions to be reduced almost completely. The plant is scheduled to go into full operation at the end of 2029.
“With the oxyfuel technology we have developed, around 1.9 million tons of CO2 can be captured annually at the Kamari plant alone”, says Dr. Cetin Nazikkol, Chief Strategy Officer at thyssenkrupp Decarbon Technologies. “This corresponds to around twelve percent of all greenhouse gas emissions from Greek industry. We are thus making a significant contribution to one of the largest CO2 capture projects in Europe.”
The captured CO2 is then liquefied and transported to a permanent storage site in the Mediterranean region. This makes thyssenkrupp’s technology the starting point for the development of important CCS value chains in southern Europe. “For our customer Titan Group, we will be using the latest CO2 separation technology. We will design and equip the first kiln line with the proven oxyfuel technology. When modernizing the second kiln line, the latest generation of this technology will be used with the pure oxyfuel system. Overall, this will enable us to capture almost 100 percent of CO2 emissions”, adds Christian Myland, CEO of thyssenkrupp.
Marcel Cobuz, Chairman of Titan Group Executive Committee, states: “This partnership further advances our efforts to achieve net-zero emissions and produce zero-carbon cement. We are committed to driving meaningful decarbonization initiatives that align with our vision for a sustainable future. Ifestos is a complex project and we are aligning multiple stake-holders across the value chain at fast pace. It is currently the largest carbon capture project in Europe and is expected to have a highly positive impact in advancing our sustainability targets and offering green cements as modern materials for infrastructure and housing.”
The basic principle of the pure oxyfuel technology developed by thyssenkrupp Polysius is to separate the CO2 produced in a kiln plant from the exhaust gases of cement factories and thus prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. To achieve this, pure oxygen is used in the combustion process instead of ambient air. In combination with downstream treatment, almost 100 percent of CO2 emissions from cement clinker production can be captured.
The separated process gas is then treated to produce high-purity CO2 and can then be used as a feedstock in the chemical industry or as a raw material in other industries, or alternatively stored.

The planned heat pump will have a capacity of up to 500,000 metric tons of steam per year. The waste heat, which is used as a thermal energy source, is generated during the cooling and cleaning of process gases in one of the two steam crackers at the site. Powered by electricity from renewable energy, CO2-free steam is thus generated, and most of this steam is to be used in the production of formic acid. Here, the heat pump has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 98 percent. A smaller proportion of the CO2-free steam is supplied to other BASF production plants via the steam network at the site. In total, the heat pump will reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the company’s headquarters by up to 100,000 metric tons per year.
“We are sticking to our climate protection goals: BASF aims to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. We also aim to provide our customers with the best possible support on their transformation journey. Our Ludwigshafen site plays a key role in this regard. We want to turn it into a leading, sustainable chemical production site for Europe,” says Uwe Liebelt, President European Verbund Sites, BASF. “Electrifying steam generation is a crucial step towards generating the energy we so urgently need in the chemical industry in a more sustainable way. Our integrated Production Verbund is ideally suited to implementing and scaling up new technologies, such as the planned heat pump, on an industrial scale.”
The plant is scheduled to be commissioned in 2027. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action is contributing up to around 310 million to the project as part of the Carbon Contracts for Difference funding program.
