Limestone – a key ingredient of civilisation

Industrial testing at Outokumpu.

Since spring 2022, the two companies have been working together to create an electrified concept for industrial-scale climate-neutral lime production. Last summer, SMA Mineral became a shareholder in SaltX Technology by acquiring 15% of the company. Now, the parties are launching a joint factory concept and brand, ZEQL (Zero Emission Quicklime), to raise awareness of the concept and highlight the importance of limestone in modern society. The first factory is expected to be completed by 2025.
