Germany: Australia-based Calix confirmed that its LEILAC-2 project will take place at Heidelberg Materials’ cement plant in Ennigerloh, Germany. This follows Heidelberg Materials' decision to cease clinker production at its Hanover cement plant. The project, which aims to capture CO₂ emissions from cement production, already has a system design ready for construction at Ennigerloh.
LEILAC CEO Daniel Rennie said "The LEILAC technology represents a scalable and economical solution to address the carbon dioxide emissions produced unavoidably by the cement and lime industries, and the rapid demonstration of such solutions is essential to achieving our industrial decarbonisation goals."
