Company Overview

Calix is creating affordable carbon management solutions
for minerals processing

The application of Calix technology to processing of selected minerals allows for the more efficient and effective processing of those minerals, as well as having the ability to capture CO₂ during the process.

As an example, the local and international markets for calcined products are large, and are under growing commercial and regulatory pressure because the fundamental manufacturing process (calcination) produces large volumes of carbon dioxide and has high energy demands.

Calix has the technology to transform some of these industries into more energy efficient, "clean", potentially near zero-emissions industries without significant impact on their capital or operating costs.

Calix is creating affordable carbon management solutions
for flue and fuel gases from polluting industrial plants

The Calix active oxides can be applied to the capture CO₂ from fuel and flue gases from the power plants, cement plants, refineries and iron and steel foundries. These industries are the largest contributors to global warming.

Calix has developed a novel reactor, the Endex reactor, which uses these oxides as sorbents to scrub the CO₂ from these large industrial plants. The reactor is unique because it provides a long sorbent lifetime and requires no additional energy to separate the CO₂ from the flue gas.

Calix has developed a proprietary approach to integrating its technology into a scrubbing plant which produces all the electricity required to extract the CO₂ from the existing plant, and to compress the CO₂ for transport. This plant also produces a net output of 'green electrical power' for the grid, or to replace the import of electricity from the grid.
