Innovation in CO2 capture: Nuada and Buzzi launch pilot project at Monselice cement plant

Buzzi has initiated a revolutionary pilot project for CO₂ capture at the Buzzi Unicem plant in Monselice, in collaboration with Nuada, a UK-based company specializing in carbon capture technologies.

Nuada’s cutting-edge technology stands out for its use of an electrically powered system that separates CO2 from industrial flue gases using pressure instead of heat. This innovative method is already operational and has demonstrated the capability to capture 1 t/d of CO₂ from cement flue gas.

The adoption of this technology represents a significant step towards the decarbonization of the cement sector. Nuada’s solution promises to revolutionize carbon capture by combining advanced solid sorbents, known as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF), with a mature vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) process.

The Monselice pilot plant not only strengthens Buzzi’s commitment to sustainability but also demonstrates the potential of Nuada’s modern technology in cement production. This project is part of a broader strategy aimed at reducing the environmental impact of industrial production and achieving ambitious sustainability goals.
