全球最大水泥制造商之一海德堡材料公司周四表示，由于当前的框架条件不支持可行的商业论证，该公司已暂停其在德国盖塞克的碳捕集工厂项目。
Heidelberg Materials , one of the world's largest cement makers, has paused its carbon capture plant project in Geseke, Germany, because the current framework conditions do not support a viable business case, it said on Thursday.
GeZero原计划成为德国首个部署可扩展碳捕集技术的内陆水泥厂。首席执行官多米尼克·冯·阿赫滕对路透社表示：“作为一家上市公司，只有在拥有稳定、合理的商业论证时，我们才会推进二氧化碳捕集。而在盖塞克，我们目前还不具备这一条件。”他补充说，暂停该项目是一个“艰难但正确的决定”。
GeZero was planned as Germany's first inland cement plant that would deploy scalable carbon capture technology "As a listed company, we will only pursue CO2 capture if we have a stable, sound business case for it. We do not yet have that in Geseke," CEO Dominik von Achten told Reuters, adding putting the project on hold had been a "tough but right decision"
该决定仅适用于GeZero项目——该项目已获得1.91亿欧元（2.14亿美元）的欧盟资金——不会对该公司盖塞克工厂的运营产生直接影响。公司给出的暂停理由是二氧化碳运输、封存基础设施及价值链发展不充分。海德堡材料公司计划进一步优化该项目的设计。
The decision applies only to the GeZero project - which has received €191 million ($214 million) in EU funding - and will have no immediate impact on operations at the company's Geseke plant It cited insufficiently developed CO2 transport, storage infrastructure and value chains as reasons for the halt Heidelberg Materials plans to further optimize the design of the project
