Feb 6, 2025 · Leilac’s unique technology seeks to enable the affordable abatement of unavoidable CO₂ process emissions in cement and lime production. With no additional chemicals or …

Leilac uses a unique, indirectly heated calcination approach to simply and efficiently separate unavoidable CO₂ process emissions for use or storage. It is being developed to be energy agnostic and electrification ready, providing flexible and economical pathways to carbon free cement and lime.

Leilac-2 passed its Financial Investment Decision (FID) to build a demonstration plant with a target capture capacity of 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year at very low cost. It will be integrated into an operational Heidelberg Materials’ cement plant.

Sep 16, 2021 · Calix’s LEILAC (Low Emissions Intensity Lime and Cement) Technology focuses on separating, for minimal energy or capital penalty, the CO 2 2 coming from the raw limestone, which is responsible for about 2/3 of the total CO 2 emissions of the cement and lime industries.

Feb 1, 2021 · Main aspects of the LEILAC 2 project are now the further scaling-up of the technology to large industrial scale, the complete integration of the process into an existing cement plant and the heat supply for the installation from renewable energies for …

Mar 24, 2022 · With the patented LEILAC technology, the CO 2 released during cement production can be captured in a highly pure form via a separate waste gas stream and used in other processes. As minimal additional energy is needed and no chemicals are required, this happens in an especially cost-efficient way.

Apr 2, 2021 · CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today its participation in the Low Emissions Intensity Lime and Cement 2 (LEILAC 2) project, a research and innovation initiative aimed to decarbonize the cement production process.

Mar 25, 2022 · This week HeidelbergCement and Calix announced that the Low Emissions Intensity Lime And Cement 2 (LEILAC-2) carbon capture project has passed its Financial Investment Decision (FID) milestone and can go on to the implementation phase at HeidelbergCement's Hanover cement plant, Germany.

Dec 19, 2019 · The success of the The Low Emissions Intensity Lime and Cement (LEILAC) project to separate and capture CO 2 from the cement production process will enable a second LEILAC 2 project to be pipelined.

Limestone Calcined Clay Cement is a low-carbon alternative to the standard Portland cement. [33][15] LC3 can reduce CO 2 emissions related to cement manufacturing by reducing the amount of clinker, replacing it with finely ground limestone and calcined clays. [34][35] Low-grade kaolin clays can be used for the production of LC3 and are ...
