Australian industrial technology developer Calix has confirmed that global building materials manufacturer Cemex is conducting three new carbon capture, utilisation and storage projects utilising its low emissions cement production technology. Cemex S.A.B de C.V had announced three front engineering (FEED) studies to scale CCUS projects at Cemex projects in Germany, Poland and the United States…
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency has announced $947,000 in funding to Calix, supporting an investigation into the feasibility of a hydrogen direct reduced iron (DRI) plant using the Australian company’s Zero Emissions Steel Technology (ZESTY) process. According to a statement from ARENA, the funding would assist a pre-FEED and FEED (Front End Engineering and Design)…
Cement and lime decarbonisation technology company, Leilac has announced it has signed a perpetual global licence agreement for the use of its decarbonisation technology with Heidelberg Materials, one of the world’s largest building materials companies. The licence agreement applies to any Heidelberg Materials facility where Calix’s Leilac decarbonisation technology is installed – Heidelberg Materials operates…
Low emission industrial technology company Calix has moved to raise $80 million from investors to fund its share of planned low emission processing plants being constructed with Australian building products companies Boral and Adbri. The plants, which will utilise Calix’s new kiln technology enabling the capture of CO2 in the manufacture of cement and lime,…
Pilbara Minerals and low emission technology developer Calix will develop a demonstration plant for a new, low carbon lithium salt refining process. In the lead up to the federal election the companies were announced as recipients of a $20 million Modern Manufacturing Initiative grant – manufacturing Translation Stream to demonstrate the production of lithium salts…
By Peter Roberts When the dust settles on this federal election someone had better do a stocktake of the hundreds of grants that have been sprayed around the manufacturing sector – public money shovelled out the door at a rate never before seen – all with no transparency, little process and no accountability whatsoever. The…
The federal government has awarded a project between Boral and Calix a $30 million grant to install a commercial-scale plant in NSW’s Southern Highlands, able to capture 100 kilo-tonnes per annum in emissions from lime manufacture.
Industrial process technology company Calix and Pilbara Minerals will establish a joint venture to potentially develop a demonstration plant to produce lithium phosphate salt to supply battery chemicals manufacturing. This follows positive results from their joint scoping study for a lithium salt production facility using Calix technology at Pilbara’s existing spodumene concentrate plant (pictured) at…
Technology development firm Calix’s lead LEILAC-2 project has passed its financial investment decision and will move on to building a plant capable of capturing 20 per cent of an existing cement plant’s CO2 emissions at low cost. The company, which is commercialising new kiln technology enabling the capture of CO2 in the manufacture of cement…
The SOCRATCES Project, backed by decarbonisation technology developer Calix, is investigating the use of ‘calcium looping’ as a form of concentrated solar power (CSP) energy storage. The SOCRATCES Project is commissioning a new application of Calix’s low-emissions lime production technology at the Universidad de Sevilla in Spain (pictured). Seville is one of the leading locations…
