Greece: The IFESTOS carbon capture project at Titan Group's Kamari cement plant was among eight CO2 emissions-reducing projects chosen for funding following the latest EU Innovation Fund call for projects. IFESTOS consists of a planned 1.9Mt/yr carbon capture installation at the Kamari plant. Titan Group says that it has concluded necessary memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with suppliers. The IFESTOS project will receive a share of a funding pot worth a total Euro3.6bn.
Chair Marcel Cobuz said "We are truly excited that the European Commission has chosen to support our large-scale, highly innovative project. IFESTOS is a cornerstone of our accelerated decarbonisation roadmap to net-zero. In line with EU climate policy, together with our technology partners, we are pioneering an innovative carbon capture project, the largest in Europe, with a highly positive impact. The group has strong capabilities and is committed to executing this project fast over the next few years, decarbonising production and offering green growth opportunities to our customers in Europe. We embrace the opportunity to widely share our knowledge and expertise and promote green cements as modern materials for infrastructure and housing.”
