China-Canada Collaboration on CO2 Capture for Cement

REGINA, Saskatchewan, July 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new collaboration between the China Building Materials Academy, (CBMA) and Canadian based, International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre) will see simultaneous advancements in understanding and knowledge sharing of carbon capture technology designed specifically to see substantial emission reductions from the global cement industry.

The first initiative under the agreement, Carbon Capture Use Piloting with Cement Kiln Project will aid CBMA in applying the Knowledge Centre's model and Front End Engineering Design (FEED) of a test platform – which has a carbon dioxide (CO2) capture capacity of approximately 155 kg CO2/per day. The project will be built and piloted on a carbon capture system that utilizes the post combustion flue gas from a producing cement kiln.

The Knowledge Centre will have an observer role to learn and gain insight on the characteristics of a cement kiln operation and its integration with a post combustion carbon capture system. The agreement grants the Knowledge Centre access to the operational data, such as further design, testing, data based on the modelling, emission–related information, and any improvements made to the CO2 capture test platform.

This collaboration agreement is part of a bilateral science and technology cooperation between Canada and China, the China–Canada Science & Technology Cooperative Action Plan. The agreement also syncs with goals of the Chinese government to achieve carbon peaking before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060 with efforts of the cement industry in China to accelerate innovation in low carbon technologies.

Through the carbon capture pilot platform, the CBMA is expected to adapt the application for potential scale–up to commercial demonstration with know–how that could be applied across the sizable fleet of China National Building Materials Ltd. (CNBM), the world's largest cement producer and the parent of CBMA.

The Knowledge Centre is currently completing a feasibility study on a full–scaled post–combustion carbon capture system on Lehigh's Cement plant in Edmonton, Canada by applying the same model based on large–scale CCS experiences from the commercial coal–fired power plant, at the famed Canadian based Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility.

Quotes

"The International Knowledge Centre is proud to be a partner in assisting the CBMA on its CCS development and deployment journey to help China realize its ambitious goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, which is positive for the world."

– Conway Nelson, VP Strategy & Stakeholder Relations, International CCS Knowledge Centre

"The cement industry could only achieve carbon neutrality by carbon capture approaches. Deep GHG emission reduction objectives can only be achieved by adhering to the decarbonization technology route, by applying CCS technologies to capture the carbon dioxide emissions from various aspects of the production process."

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Cement Emission Overview

  • Concrete, a product of cement, is the second most consumed substance on the planet, next to water, with roughly attributing three tonnes of concrete yearly by every person on earth (State of the Planet, Earth Institute, Columbia University).
  • Total emissions from the cement industry contribute as much as 7–8% of global CO2 emissions.
  • Two thirds or 5% of global emissions result from the chemical reactions in the cement production process and therefore cannot be eliminated through gains in energy efficiency.
  • Global demand for cement is expected to increase 12–23% by 2050 (IEA Report: Transforming Industry through CCUS)
  • As the largest cement producer, China accounts for about 55% of global production, followed remotely by India at 8%.
  • China's cement industry is estimated about 1.2 Gt of CO2 emissions to their national GHG emissions, annually.

China–Canada Science & Technology Cooperative Action Plan

  • China–Canada Science & Technology Cooperative Action Plan is a framework for cooperation in scientific and technological research, which will extend and strengthen the conduct of cooperative activities in areas of common interest and encourage the application of the results of such cooperation to their economic and social benefit.

Expereo acquires global managed Internet access provider, Brodynt

AMSTERDAM, July 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Expereo, a leading global provider of managed Internet, SD–WAN, SASE, and Cloud Access solutions, announces that it has agreed to acquire Brodynt, a provider of global managed Internet services. This acquisition further strengthens Expereo's position in providing global managed Internet & SD–WAN services to its global enterprise customer base and service provider partner community.

This news follows the acquisitions of GlobalInternet, Comsave, and Videns IT Services, a leading provider of managed SD–WAN and SASE services, late last year and earlier this year. These acquisitions solidify Expereo's position in leading the global transformation to software–defined and internet–based networking. With the full support of majority investor, Vitruvian Partners, and minority investor, Apax Partners SAS, Expereo intends to continue its acquisition strategy.

Global enterprises are accelerating their network transformations following the emergence of the COVID–19 pandemic. Following an initial rush to get their global networks fit–for–purpose for remote working, global enterprise connectivity is now migrating rapidly to software–defined and internet–based solutions, including through accelerated adoption of cloud applications. Expereo's depth and breadth of expertise in providing and managing software–defined and internet–based networks and Cloud Access allows a globally operating enterprise to do so with ease, trust, and security.

"Expereo brings additional global reach, leading digital user and operations platform, and complementary SD–WAN and SASE experience that our customers and partners will greatly benefit from," says Marcus Munoz, Brodynt Co–CEO. "We have built a great customer and partner base, as well as a superb team supporting them," adds Marc Mateo, Brodynt Co–CEO. "I am excited to see this integrated into Expereo, enabling faster expansion and adding broader capabilities as the market very rapidly transforms with internet services now being core to global enterprise connectivity networks; Expereo brings the scale to do so efficiently."

"It is all about scale and delivering world–class customer experience," says Irwin Fouwels, CEO Expereo. "Where our ability to effectively source, manage, and improve performance of any type of internet–based networking service anywhere in the world complemented traditional wide–area–network technology, we are now effectively replacing such legacy solutions. Overlaying our own cloud fabric and digital customer interface takes a global internet–based solution to the next level in terms of performance and experience "" we are excited to bring this to Brodynt's customers and partners."
