Calix Limited announced that CEMEX, has joined the LEILAC-2 project to help develop Calix's technology for CO 2 mitigation in the production of cement. On January 29, 2021, the European Commission officially approved Cemex joining the LEILAC-2 Project following unanimous support from the LEILAC-2 consortium. The LEILAC-2 Project is focussed on scaling Calix's CO 2 mitigation technology for the cement and lime industries to demonstration scale at HeidelbergCement's Hannover cement plant, following a successful piloting of the technology via the LEILAC-1 Project in Belgium. CEMEX has committed in-kind support to the project given its strong technical expertise and knowledge of the cement production process, as well as a cash contribution, which will be applied to the construction phase of the project. The LEILAC-2 Project is currently undergoing Basis-of-Design work, which is targeted for completion by the end of June 2021. If that milestone is met successfully, full Front End Engineering Design (FEED) will commence and will run through to the second half of 2022. Upon completing a successful FEED, construction will commence and is targeted for completion by end 2023, with the first commercial demonstration in early 2024.
