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.

SaltX Technology, SMA Mineral, and SSAB are entering a pre-study on how a new technology to produce climate-neutral quicklime can be applied in SSAB's steelmaking process. The technology, which SaltX is developing, aims to replace fossil fuels with renewable electricity in quick-lime production. In the production of ore-based steel, quicklime is needed as a slag former.
