Longship; Good Neighbour’s Work Things Out
The residents of Brevik are accustomed to having the cement factory as their closest neighbour. As the carbon capture facility is now being constructed and gradually completed, Heidelberg Materials maintains close dialogue with the neighbour’s and the surrounding community.
When a large-scale project like Brevik CCS is in the construction phase, the extensive activity can affect those living near the factory. It’s natural for the local population to wonder whether the new carbon capture facility will impact their daily lives once it becomes operational. Therefore, it is essential that the neighbour’s, represented by local associations, are kept informed and given the opportunity to discuss topics of concern. Heidelberg Materials has consistently worked actively to involve the local community in line with their needs and expectations. Preserving a neighbourly relationship that has lasted for over 100 years is valuable …
– An important outcome of the Longship project, of which Brevik CCS is a part, is sharing knowledge with subsequent CCS projects. The good processes between Heidelberg Materials and the local population in Brevik, provide valuable insights that future carbon capture facility developers can benefit from – both nationally and internationally, says Senior Advisor Hans Jørgen Vinje of Gassnova.
