SALTX TECHNOLOGY HOLDING AB SaltX and SMA, in partnership, plan to build the world's first electric quicklime factory, ZEQL. SMA Mineral now enters into an agreement with the American company Infinium regarding the delivery of CO2 for producing so-called e-Fuels, primarily targeting the aviation industry. The agreement means that SMA Mineral, which will operate and own the ZEQL facility in Mo i Rana, can utilize the CO2 that SaltX's Electric Arc Calciner (EAC) technology separates in the electric manufacturing process of quicklime.
The facility will now be expanded to include the production of e-Fuels for the aviation industry in partnership with the American company Infinium. SMA Mineral and SaltX have been collaborating since the spring of 2022 and have actively sought alternative solutions for how the collected carbon dioxide should be managed most effectively.
