The Grecian Magnesite mine produces magnesium compounds, which have a wide range of applications, ranging from animal nutrient supplements to the pharmaceutical industry.

CERE recently visited the Grecian Magnesite mine in Greece to discuss where on the site to place an innovative CO2 capture and utilization demonstration plant. The demonstration plant is built as part of the ConsenCUS Horizon 2020 project, and will be placed in Greece by the mid 2024. The source of CO2 is flue gas from rotary kilns used to process the magnesite raw material.

“It was of crucial importance to see the site first hand. In addition, we got to experience the great hospitality and thoroughness of our Grecian Magnesite contacts. We look forward to placing the demonstration plant at Grecian Magnesite.” Uffe Ditlev Bihlet, DTU Project Manager of the ConsenCUS project.
