SaltX Technology and SMA Mineral have collaborated to jointly create electrified lime plants of the future without CO2 emissions. The parties have now agreed on a joint roadmap until 2028 by signing an in-depth cooperation agreement in which the parties' commitments are regulated. SaltX and SMA Mineral have signed an in-depth cooperation agreement that extends until the summer of 2028.

The agreement means that SMA Mineral plans to build several facilities where SaltX's electric calcination technology, Electric Arc Calciner (EAC), will be installed. SaltX has made it possible for SMA Mineral to establish an aggressive sustainability plan where a halving of the company's carbon dioxide emissions can take place until 2027. The agreement allows SMA Mineral to use the EAC technology to produce quicklime in the Nordic region.

The forecast is that SaltX will receive orders for 7-9 EAC units from SMA Mineral during the contract period. SaltX intends to market and sell the EAC technology to lime manufacturers outside the Nordics and other stakeholders, such as cement manufacturers worldwide.
