00:00This Norwegian cement plant is currently transforming one of the world's dirtiest industries.
00:05Over 1 million tons of cement are produced here annually.
00:08But cement is a climate killer.
00:10Burning limestone releases huge amounts of CO2, a greenhouse gas that warms the planet.
00:16This cement plant is the first in the world to capture CO2.
00:19A huge capture system separates it from the exhaust gases.
00:23The CO2 is liquefied, transported by ship, and stored 2,600 meters below the seabed.
00:29The cost of the filtration system? 400 million euros.
00:34The Norwegian government is covering 80% of the cost.
00:37Carbon capture. An expensive but promising solution.
00:41The question is, are we willing to pay more for climate-friendly cement?
