Cement and lime decarbonisation technology company, Leilac has announced it has signed a perpetual global licence agreement for the use of its decarbonisation technology with Heidelberg Materials, one of the world’s largest building materials companies. The licence agreement applies to any Heidelberg Materials facility where Calix’s Leilac decarbonisation technology is installed – Heidelberg Materials operates 149 cement plants across five continents. Leilac CEO Daniel Rennie described the agreement with Heidelberg Materials as a key milestone in the development and commercialisation of the Leilac technology.

It has also been revealed that Leilac’s parent company, Calix saw funding for its low-emissions tech evaporate after the Australian government dropped a number of programmes in its latest budget. In May this year, Calix received an $11 million grant to develop technology with Adbri under the Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS) Hubs and Technologies Program, which would have been the world’s first commercialscale process for the manufacture of low-emissions lime.
