Data centres ⬆️. Embodied carbon ⬇️ ? For data centres, there is little room for compromise. Construction timelines are tight. Performance is critical. And reducing embodied carbon is becoming an increasingly important consideration. What if reducing embodied carbon didn’t mean changing performance or application procedures? evoZero® is the world’s first carbon captured near-zero cement, made possible by carbon capture and storage (CCS) and mass balancing at Heidelberg Materials’ plant in Brevik, Norway. Having started operations in 2025, the facility is designed to capture 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, equalling approx. 48% of the plant’s kiln emissions. 📍Joining DataCloud Congress in Cannes? Stop by, meet the evoZero team (Booth number 347) – and take a virtual trip to Brevik with our 3D glasses. 👇 Swipe through the carousel to see how CCS works at Brevik – and what this means in practice for data centre construction.
