Nuada has announced a new collaboration alongside MLC (formerly Mississippi Lime Company) for a project to showcase net-zero lime production.
The two companies have officially signed a memorandum of understanding over the project, which will be developed at MLC’s flagship facility in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. MLC has manufactured a range of lime products at Ste. Genevieve is used in the construction industry, agriculture, and food.
“Our collaboration with Nuada reflects MLC’s dedication to exploring advanced technologies that reduce our carbon footprint while maintaining the high standards of purity and quality our customers expect,” MLC’s director of sustainability and ESG Fiona Woody said.
“The smaller footprint and significantly lower energy consumption of Nuada’s technology make it highly attractive to us.”
According to the company, Nuada’s carbon capture solution is designed especially for carbon-intensive industrial applications, including cement. Its filtration machines, which capture CO2 from industrial off-gases, use pressure rather than heat to separate CO2 from flue gases. According to Nuada’s co-chief executive officer, Dr. Jose Casaban, this makes the process more energy efficient and cheaper.
“Our breakthrough in carbon capture technology sets a new standard for energy efficiency, paving the way for transformative decarbonisation in hard-to-abate sectors like lime manufacturing,” he said.
“Through this collaboration with MLC, we are driving the next generation of carbon capture forward, setting a new standard for emissions reduction and sustainability in the lime industry.”
