Edgemere 2.0 is supported by Heidelberg Materials’ EvoZero® carbon captured near-zero cement, enabled through the first carbon capture facility at its cement works in Brevik, Norway. To avoid the transport emissions that would be incurred by shipping from Brevik, Edgemere 2.0 CO₂ reduction can be transferred and attributed using locally sourced Heidelberg cement.
A Carbon Bank withdrawal is made to reduce the corresponding Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the locally produced UK cement to zero. The carbon reduction is recorded in Heidelberg Materials’ publicly available Carbon Bank, which allocates captured and stored CO₂ reductions to each specific Edgemere 2.0 order, with full end-to-end traceability through an Environmental Attribute Certificate (EAC)
