We are at the forefront of driving innovation and scaling up electrification and carbon capture technologies to catalyze a massive shift towards zero industrial emissions at scale. Our groundbreaking electric calcination technology, EAC (Electric Arc Calciner), is adaptable for several industries and eliminates the need for external CO2-capturing. With our game-changing technology, we are confident in our ability to lead the way towards a sustainable future.
Quicklime is essential to industries like steel, paper, and mining—but its production carries a heavy climate cost. Large amounts of CO2 are released from both fossil combustion and the limestone itself during the heating process. Our electrification technology enables zero-emission quicklime production.
Cement is the world’s most used building material—but also a major source of CO2 emissions, from both fossil fuels and limestone processing. SaltX’s electrification technology replaces fossil heated calcination and separate and capture the CO2 in the same process—making zero-emission cement a reality.
Removing CO2 from the atmosphere is essential to achieving global climate goals. Within CDR pathways such as DAC and OAE, SaltX’s EAC technology enables electrified high-temperature processing of lime- and mineral-based materials, efficiently separating CO2 for use or permanent storage.
It is the world’s most used building material, so popular that it is the second most produced material after water. However, it comes with a heavy CO2 footprint, with almost 900 kg of emission per ton of cement produced. Our electric kiln, with built-in CO2 separation, has the potential to reshape and set a new zero-emission standard for cement manufacturing globally.
Today, quicklime production emits more than 400 million tons of CO2 worldwide. This material is one of the most important materials we have on earth. It makes it possible to drink clean water and produce steel, glass, paper, etc. Our solution is electrifying the heating of the material and separating and isolating the process emissions at the same time.
Our EAC technology is ideally suited for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) applications, including Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE). In both pathways, CO2 is captured through mineral or sorbent-based processes. Our fully electrified calcination process enables efficient separation, processing, and handling of CO2 for utilization or permanent storage.
• Removes CO2 directly or indirectly from the atmosphere
• Requires fossil-free, high-temperature energy
• Crucial for restoring long-term CO2 balance in the climate system
The facility is world-unique and plays a vital role in our industrialization awaiting. Our center is also crucial for further development of our technology and for tests of different materials.
