Case Study · Technology Evaluation
Capturing carbon where cement is made.
A global building materials leader wanted to know which post-combustion carbon capture technologies are viable for cement. Prescouter mapped 46 technologies, consulted 5 experts and 9 providers and built an interactive decision support model with a pathway to 2040.
The Client
The client is a global leader in building materials, serving construction and infrastructure projects across North America and Europe. It wanted carbon capture technologies for cement that are both economically viable and environmentally sustainable.
The Challenge
Viable on paper.
Viable in cement?
The client needed a comprehensive overview of the most promising post-combustion carbon capture technologies and an evaluation of how well each applies to the cement sector.
-
Economics
Economically viable
Costs that support implementation.
-
Impact
Environmentally sustainable
Real environmental gains.
-
Timing
A path to 2040
What matures over the next decade.
Our Approach
Research, validation and a decision model.
Expert and vendor input
9technology providers engaged
Validate assumptions
Five experts and 9 providers filled gaps and tested assumptions on capture technologies.
Decision support model
2040roadmap horizon
Compare and decide
An interactive model calculates the KPIs that drive implementation decisions through 2040.
The Outcome
A robust shortlist, some long overlooked.
Prescouter delivered a landscape of 46 technologies across 4 families, validated by 5 experts and 9 technology providers. The interactive model let the client compare options, assess the roadmap to 2040 and revisit long-dismissed technologies, uncovering solutions that fit its criteria and leading to a shortlist of robust post-combustion capture technologies.
-
Shortlist
Robust capture options
Matched to the client’s criteria.
-
Rethink
Dismissed tech revisited
Real potential re-examined.
-
Tooling
Interactive KPI model
Compare options to 2040.
In fast-moving fields, yesterday’s dismissed technology can be tomorrow’s best fit. Revisiting old assumptions with fresh data is often where the best options appear.
