Calix Managing Director and CEO Phil Hodgson recently joined the ASX Briefs Podcast to discuss the challenges and opportunities of decarbonising heavy industry.
The conversation explores why reducing emissions from industries such as cement, lime and steel requires solutions that address both combustion and process emissions, and how Calix’s platform technology is designed to support this transition.
Topics covered in the discussion include:
- The principles behind Calix’s externally heated kiln technology and its application in industrial decarbonisation.
- How Leilac Technology aims to simplify carbon capture in the cement and lime industries.
- The importance of hybrid heating to enable flexible operation using renewable electricity, conventional fuels or alternative fuels, depending on local market conditions.
- Recent business developments across Calix, including progress in green iron, alumina, lithium and water treatment.
The episode also discusses Calix’s broader strategy to commercialise its technologies through strategic partnerships and licensing opportunities across multiple industrial sectors.
