This study assesses the European Union’s (EU) readiness to implement CCS in the cement sector. Results indicate that the EU-27 cement industry could transition to near-zero emissions within a timeline aligned with EU climate targets, assuming: (i) the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) price rises in line with projections under the Fit for 55 package, and (ii) sufficient CO₂ storage capacity is made available. The findings underscore the need for complementary policy measures and CCS-specific regulatory frameworks to facilitate deployment. Although early and rapid implementation of CCS could deliver substantial climate benefits, it also poses challenges, including shortages of contractors, expertise, and materials. Moreover, historical investment patterns suggest that the required scale and pace of deployment would be unprecedented. While the EU has laid a strong foundation for the cement industry’s transition, CCS deployment potential differs among Member States, depending on the geographic distribution of cement plants and proximity to storage sites.

Results show that preprocessing generally improves accuracy, with RPCA-based approaches outperforming untreated datasets across most horizons, although its impact on robustness under noise remains limited. Robustness analysis was conducted on the three best-performing models — DMD, ARIMA, and LSTM — revealing distinct behaviours.

This study evaluates the material and energy performance of alumina and pig iron co-production from bauxite using the principles of the Pedersen process.

Changes in pore structure and hydraulic properties are likely to occur in carbonate rocks when they interact with CO<sub>2</sub> as an acid-producing agent.

Here, we combine laboratory experiments and numerical simulations of CO<sub>2</sub>-saturated water and HCl solution injections into limestone specimens to develop an improved understanding of reactive flow in these rocks. We employ a digital rock approach based on X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT) to construct heterogeneous rock permeability maps, fed as inputs into 3D Darcy-scale reactive transport models of the experiments. The simulations satisfactorily reproduce measured changes in effluent chemistry, porosity, and permeability as well as the observed dissolution features in reacted rock samples. We show that the pore space heterogeneity controls chemical reactions from the very beginning of acid injections while the acid type becomes progressively important as the reaction front further penetrates the rock. The complete dissociation of HCl as a strong acid leads to a compact dissolution pattern, numerically captured using the classical Kozeny-Carman porosity-permeability relationship. In contrast, the partial dissociation of aqueous CO<sub>2</sub> as a weak acid and the related pH-buffering effect drive a strong feedback between fluid flow and dissolution, leading to wormhole formation. This dissolution pattern can be only reproduced by a large exponent (15 to 27.6) in the porosity-permeability relationship.

Oxygen (O₂) enhances combustion and gasification by reducing nitrogen dilution, improving thermal conversion efficiency, and facilitating CO₂ capture.
