Ontario Lafarge plant introduces innovative technology to reduce CO2 emissions


A Lafarge cement plant in Ontario is making strides in reducing CO2 emissions in its operations through a partnership with Hyperion Global Energy Corp. The plant has shown the capacity to remove 1,000 tonnes per year, with plans to increase that number to 10,000 tonnes per year within the next year. This innovative technology aims to eliminate emissions at the cement plant and is being prepared for commercialization.

The CO2 emissions captured from the cement plant’s stack are used to create sustainable products such as low-carbon concrete. The carbon is captured with an external scrubber and diverted into a patented recycling system container provided by Hyperion. The captured emissions are processed with waste industrial feedstock through Hyperion’s gas-to-mineral process, producing high-value precipitated calcium carbonate used in green concrete.

The equipment for the pilot project was installed in 2023 and has achieved critical validation. The Hyperion technology aims to decarbonize 10% of plant emissions, with the potential to mineralize up to 50,000 tonnes per year at cement plants across North America. The fully operating pilot project has cost less than $3 million, demonstrating the efficiency and affordability of Hyperion’s Tandem Carbon Recycling system.

Lafarge Canada sees the mineralization of CO2 into aggregate products as a promising strategy for decarbonization and the production of advanced products. The pilot project will further develop and scale Hyperion’s technology to capture and transform waste carbon emissions into high-purity minerals. This initiative has the potential to accelerate the development of technology to reduce carbon emissions in the cement industry.
