Autumn 2018 European Energy Innovation
we have started large scale research
in a pilot plant to enable such a
process.
Another industrial process that emits electricity at a competitive price. This
large amounts of carbon dioxide is
the manufacturing of cement, which
is produced through the heating
of limestone. Using electricity in
this process would contribute to a
reduction of the Swedish carbon
dioxide emissions by 5%. Vattenfall,
together with Cementa (Heidelberg
Cement Group), strive to realise this in smart solutions for storage of solar
process through the joint project
CemZero.
These examples show that there is

a concrete and great potential for
electrification in order to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions. The
precondition is access to fossil free
will require efforts from governments,
authorities, universities and other
research centres.
For Vattenfall, it is about being a
partner in this important transition,
whether it is for the manufacturing of
fossil free steel, sustainable cement or
energy and charging of electric vehicles.
I hereby would like to invite other
companies and organisations to more
partnerships in order to reach our
common climate targets for 2050. I
am convinced there are many more
potential projects out there that can
be achieved through joint efforts. l
