Our industrial decarbonisation solutions

Calix’s unique calcination technology separates the heat source from the chemical reaction, providing three pathways to industrial decarbonisation:

==> picture [66 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

1. Enabling the electrification of industry

Energy agnostic and electrification ready, providing flexible and economical pathways for industrial processes to enter the electric age.

==> picture [56 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

2. Enabling efficient capture of unavoidable emissions

With no additional chemicals or processes, Calix’s technology is being developed to efficiently separate process CO2 for low cost abatement of unavoidable emissions in cement and lime.

==> picture [58 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

3. Enabling green industrial processing

Zero Emissions Steel TechnologY (ZESTY) uses renewable power and hydrogen for green iron and steel.

Innovative renewably powered, at-mine refining solutions enhance recovery of ore and create near zero-waste products.

Heidelberg Materials global licence executed

  • The licence agreement applies to any Heidelberg Materials facility where the Leilac technology is installed.

  • Heidelberg Materials operates 149 cement plants across five continents.

  • The technology licence fee is a first-of-a-kind for the industry, comprising:

  • i. A royalty floor;

  • ii. A variable component linked to the European carbon price/value; and iii. A royalty cap linked to costs versus alternative technologies.

  • The agreement requires the royalty quantums to remain commercial-inconfidence.

  • The technology licence is a perpetual licence with Heidelberg Materials.

  • Calix will retain all improvements to Calix IP.

  • Pipeline growth: there are now 67 projects in the pipeline

  • Projects are ~ 2/3 cement and 1/3 lime, at average capacity of 500kTpa CO2 for cement and 80 kTpa CO2 for lime.

  • Leilac pipeline represents potential for over 20 Mtpa of CO2 abatement projects.

  • TARMAC project moves into FEED phase: 30kTpa lime facility with partial H2 firing and CO2 capture as part of HYNET project, UK.

  • Adbri – work continues on pre-FEED for a 20kTpa electric facility with CO2 capture; Boral up to 120kTpa facility – under review following cancellation of CCUS Hubs & Technologies program.[1]

Pilbara Minerals JV and development of lithium salt project

  • Full Documentation is in final form for JV agreement with Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) for mid-stream lithium refining project.

  • The JV is supported by A$20m in Australian Government funding announced under the Modern Manufacturing Initiative.

  • The project aims to demonstrate significant benefits of Calix’s renewably powered calcination technology for lithium refining, including:

  • Reduced product cost

  • Reduced carbon emissions

  • Reduced waste and CO 2 footprint

  • At current lithium prices, the demonstration scale plant could generate ~US$190m revenue for the JV[1] on an annual basis (Calix share ~US$86m).

  • Financial Investment Decision targeted H1 2023.

  • Trading Economics https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lithium as at 17 October 2022 @ 0.14 Yuan / USD = ~$US74,610 per tonne Lithium Carbonate (LCE). Assumed Lithium Phosphate price = 85% LCE. Calix share of JV 45%
