thyssenkrupp Polysius and SaltX have signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to jointly develop the next generation of fully electrified production facilities. This partnership aims to scale innovative technologies and advance the decarbonisation of the cement industry.
New technologies, fresh ideas and exciting opportunities were the focus of a workshop between thyssenkrupp Polysius and SaltX, an innovative start-up from Sweden driving the electrification of calciners. Together, they discussed potential collaboration and the integration of this groundbreaking concept into various business areas.
As part of this partnership, SaltX's patented Electric Arc Calciner (EAC) technology will be integrated into thyssenkrupp Polysius' green system solutions. The EAC process enables the electric calcination of materials, replaces fossil fuels with renewable energy and isolates the released CO2, resulting in an emission-free production process.
Dr Luc Rudowski, head of innovation at thyssenkrupp Polysius, stated: “The partnership with SaltX is a significant step towards a sustainable industry. By integrating the Electric Arc Calciner technology, we can expand our portfolio of green solutions and offer our customers innovative and environmentally friendly production methods. This collaboration is an important milestone on the path to decarbonising the cement and lime industry.”
Lina Jorheden, CEO of SaltX, added: “The collaboration with thyssenkrupp Polysius is of great importance to effectively implement our technology and drastically reduce CO2 emissions in the industry. Together, we can set new standards and offer our customers fully electrified and emission-free production facilities.”
