As part of the agreement, emissions (or offtake gas) from various HeidelbergCement factories could provide Joule with the waste CO 2 required to feed its advanced Helioculture platform that effectively recycles CO 2 back into fuel. This initial relationship fits well with Joule’s strategy of turning waste CO 2 into liquid fuel.
