Carbon capture
Announced in 2022, the Olympus carbon capture and storage (CCS) project aims to make its Milaki cement plant in Evia a net-zero carbon facility. The project, funded by the EU Innovation Fund with an investment of over €300 million,[9] utilizes carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies.
In January 2025, Heracles signed a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) with Air Liquide to advance the Olympus carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at its Milaki plant in Greece. Air Liquide will provide integrated systems for CO2 capture, oxygen enrichment, and cryogenic separation. The captured CO2 will be liquefied and transported by sea to the offshore sequestration facility at Prinos in the Aegean Sea.[10]
