ABB and Salt X extend collaboration for electrification of calcination process12 March 2024, Published under Cement NewsABB and Sweden-based green tech company Salt X have signed an agreement to enable further development of electric arc calcination (EAC). Under the new agreement, Salt X will further develop its innovative EAC technology, which makes it possible to reach several thousand degrees Celsius. The electric plasma solution reinvents industrial calcination and replaces fossil fuel-based heating with renewable electricity while capturing the CO₂ emissions released. ABB will contribute with contro... |
Sublime Systems receives 90% CO2 reduction validation30 October 2023, Published under Cement NewsSublime Systems has announced a screening life cycle assessment (LCA) validating that its ordinary Portland cement (OPC) replacement process can eliminate more than 90 per cent of the global warming potential of cement manufacturing. Climate Earth, the leading provider of environmental product declarations (EPDs) for the concrete industry, conducted this LCA according to a widely-accepted industry method, avoiding controversial and unproven offset methodologies frequently used to enable... |
UltraTech Cement to employ Coolbrook decarbonisation technology26 May 2023, Published under Cement NewsUltraTech Cement Ltd and Coolbrook, a transformational technology and engineering company, will jointly develop a project to implement Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic Heater TM (RDH) technology in one of UltraTech’s cement manufacturing units. The RDH technology uses electrification from renewable sources for the heating processes in cement production and removes the need to use fossil fuels, thus helping to accelerate the decarbonisation of cement manufacturing. The successful implementation ... |

SaltX Technology has patent awarded for EAC15 March 2023, Published under Cement NewsSaltX Technology has developed an electrified solution for the industrial process of calcination and has now been granted a patent for its electric calcination technology in Sweden. The Electric Arc Calciner (EAC) solution replaces fossil fuels with renewable electricity and isolates the CO 2 released from the material during heating. The innovation provides an entirely emission-free manufacturing process. The patent granted in Sweden covers several parameters, such as the cyclon... |
SaltX invests in electric calcination demonstration facility14 February 2023, Published under Cement NewsSaltXis is investing about SEK50m (US$4.8m) in an industrial electric calcination demonstration plant. This follows successful and verified tests for manufacturing climate-neutral lime and SMA Mineral’s pre-order of the first electric calcination factory. Since autumn 2021 SaltX Technology has been conducting test operations for its electric calcination technology. In 2022 the company scaled up its operations to a pilot facility. After successful tests to produce climate-neutral lime and ... |
UltraTech explores electrification to reduce CO2 emissions09 June 2022, Published under Cement NewsUltraTech Cement Ltd has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Coolbrook to explore how electrification of the cement kiln heating process can help reduce CO 2 emissions. Coolbrook, a transformational technology and engineering company, will be looking at how its Roto Dynamic Heater (RDH) can be used to deliver temperatures of up to 1700˚C with high energy efficiency, thereby enabling its use in processes that have previously been considered impossible to electrify. When power... |
