IFESTOS: Pioneering Carbon Capture Project for Zero Carbon Cement Production
IFESTOS is a pioneering Carbon Capture project that not only seeks to propel TITAN Group’s decarbonisation journey but also plays a pivotal role in expediting the sector’s green transition, and substantially contributing to promoting carbon capture technology throughout the continent. IFESTOS has garnered recognition at the highest level, having been selected by the EU Commission for grant agreement preparation, as part of the third call for large-scale projects under the EU Innovation Fund.
The project involves the construction of a large-scale carbon capture facility at TITAN’s flagship Kamari plant near Athens, Greece. This facility will enable the decarbonisation of cement manufacturing and the offering of innovative green building materials in TITAN’s markets. TITAN will be producing about 3 million tonnes/year of zero-carbon cement, to serve the growing needs for green construction in the metropolitan area of Athens and beyond.
Kamari will be retrofitted with cutting-edge carbon capture technology, aiming to avoid over 1.9 million tons of CO₂ emissions yearly, potentially ranking it among Europe’s largest carbon capture facilities. This project will integrate with a broader ecosystem, uniting carbon capture with sea transportation and storage infrastructure.
