Leilac is accelerating the transition to net zero by providing the most compelling decarbonisation solution for global cement and lime.
By developing the lowest cost carbon abatement solution, we will equip producers to take urgent action against climate change and protect their industries’ jobs and prosperity.
Operating across Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific, Leilac has imagined the future for sustainable cement and lime. And we’re creating it. Today.
Unlike other industries, most of the CO₂ produced in the manufacture of cement and lime is unavoidable. The Global Cement & Concrete Association estimates that 1.4 billion tonnes of CO₂ from cement will need to be captured and stored annually by 2050.
To preserve our planet, cement and lime producers must urgently decarbonise. To preserve our way of life, we must do so at the lowest possible cost.
Leilac’s technology is purpose built to efficiently capture unavoidable process CO2 emissions from cement and lime production, without additional chemicals or processes.
It is designed to be scalable, retrofittable, energy agnostic and electrification ready to provide flexible and economical pathways to sustainable industry.
Leilac’s technology is also being developed to deliver zero emissions lime for capture of emissions from other hard-to-abate sectors, as well as Direct Air Capture of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Leilac’s reimagined approach to carbon capture is purpose built for the cement and lime industries. Our elegant solution simply keeps unavoidable process emissions pure and uncontaminated by flue gases or air, enabling Leilac to target the lowest cost solution for decarbonising cement and lime.
With no additional chemicals or processes, our indirectly heated calcination technology efficiently separates unavoidable CO2 process emissions. Leilac’s technology requires, in principle, the same specific energy as a conventional directly heated calciner, minimising any additional energy consumption, CO2 production and cost.
Leilac’s modular technology is designed to be retrofitted and integrated into operational cement and lime plants with minimal downtime, reducing disruption and ensuring all cement and lime producers can decarbonise for a sustainable future.
Leilac’s modular design can be simply replicated and scaled to capture 100% of the process emissions from any cement or lime plant.
Leilac’s technology is designed to operate on a variety of energy sources, including electricity, alternative fuels, biomass and hydrogen, providing viable, flexible and economical pathways to net zero cement and lime. Leilac also has the potential to rapidly switch energy sources to enable grid load balancing and enhanced economic operations.
Leilac is actively partnering with cement and lime producers and local engineering firms around the world to deliver an efficient and rapid global roll out of our unique and proven technology, accelerating a just transition to net zero cement and lime.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) plays a major role in decarbonizing the industry sector in the context of 1.5°C and 2°C pathways, especially in industries with higher process emissions, such as cement.
Just like the Sustainable Development Goals, Leilac recognises the need to balance social, economic and environmental sustainability. Together, we are helping to accelerate the transition to a carbon neutral world by decarbonising global cement and lime.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) plays a major role in decarbonizing the industry sector in the context of 1.5°C and 2°C pathways, especially in industries with higher process emissions, such as cement.
Through strong global partnerships and collaboration with industry, academia and government, Leilac is reimagining and delivering the future of cement and lime. We recognise and thank our partners for their vital contributions.
