Deployment of CO2ntainer at a UK cement works
 • 2019 Innovate UK-funded project to develop the next version of the plant, which is significantly
   automated and installed with advanced controls and monitoring systems.
 • The output of this work is the commercial-ready plant which has succeeded in reducing the operational
   costs of the plant by building much of that recurring cost into the engineering of the CO2ntainer itself.

 • In 2019, C8S signed a global licence with a large industrial player and will deploy the CO2ntainer at a
   cement plant in France.
