en.Wedoany.com Reported - SaltX Technology, Holcim, and Paebbl have formed a consortium to demonstrate an integrated process combining electric clinker production with CO₂ mineralization for low-carbon cement manufacturing.

The three-year project is set to begin in the fall of 2026 at SaltX's Electric Cement Research Center (ECRC) in Hofors, Sweden. Funding comes from the EU-supported Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP), with a total consortium budget of approximately 45 million Swedish kronor (about $4.7 million).

The project will integrate SaltX's Electric Clinker Reactor (ECR) technology with Paebbl's CO₂ mineralization process, which permanently binds captured CO₂ into supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Holcim will contribute expertise in scaling the integrated process for existing and future cement plants.

The consortium aims to demonstrate an industrial-scale value chain linking electric clinker production with permanent carbon utilization, creating circular building materials while reducing process emissions.

The project is coordinated by the Swedish research institute RISE, with participants including NCCBM, CSIR-CBRI, and Université Gustave Eiffel. These institutions will provide expertise in material testing, carbonation of recycled concrete, and techno-economic analysis.
