Calix Limited (ASX: $CXL) has confirmed the relocation of the Leilac-2 (Low Emissions Intensity Lime And Cement) project to Heidelberg Materials' cement plant in Ennigerloh, Germany. The project aims to demonstrate a scalable solution for the efficient capture of unavoidable carbon dioxide emissions released during cement and lime production, operating on a range of fuels.
The Leilac technology represents a scalable and economical solution to address the carbon dioxide emissions produced unavoidably by the cement and lime industries. The swift and successful selection of Ennigerloh as the new Leilac-2 host plant is the result of the proactive, positive, and committed approach by Heidelberg Materials, the European Commission, and our partners, and the dedication of an exceptional collective project team.
The relocation of the Leilac-2 project to Heidelberg Materials' Ennigerloh cement plant demonstrates the robust and transferrable nature of the Leilac technology. The project aims to demonstrate a replicable module that can efficiently capture up to 100,000 tonnes per year of unavoidable process carbon dioxide emissions released during cement and lime production. Calix's CEO, Daniel Rennie, emphasized the importance of rapid demonstration of such solutions to achieve industrial decarbonisation goals. The successful relocation showcases the commitment of Heidelberg Materials and the collective project team to develop and deploy efficient decarbonisation solutions at Ennigerloh and cement and lime plants globally.
