SaltX Technology has been granted an EU patent for an electrified so-called 'calcium looping' solution where the company's innovation EAC (Electric Arc Calciner) forms a central function. The method means that carbon dioxide is captured from an emitter and bound with the help of lime and then transported to a central facility where the carbon dioxide is separated using the EAC technology. The method also uses excess energy created during the capture process in the system, which reduces the total energy consumption for the process.

Combined with the fact that the separation of CO2 does not need to take place at the capture site, it creates the conditions for a very cost- and energy-efficient solution for the end customer. The solution means that industries do not need to make a significant investment of their own for CO2 separation and storage systems, which is a barrier to the increased implementation for industries.
