Calix Limited congratulates BlueScope, BHP, Rio Tinto, Woodside Energy, the WA government, and all associated parties of Project #Neosmelt on the announcement of the location of the Electric Smelting Furnace (ESF) pilot plant in Kwinana, WA.    The ESF pilot plant aims to demonstrate an important pathway to near-zero emissions steelmaking using Pilbara iron ores by further processing green iron to remove impurities and make it ready for consumption in low-carbon steelmaking.    #ZESTY – an Australian hydrogen direct reduced iron (H-DRI) technology – is highly complementary to ESF processing. It aims to provide a leading solution to produce green iron from Pilbara ores and enable multiple pathways to low-carbon steelmaking. This includes further processing in an ESF, direct substitution of green iron into a blast furnace, and direct feed to Electric Arc Furnaces.

Gloria joined Calix in 2023 after completing her PhD in Chemical Engineering at Monash University. Originally from Colombia, her passion for turning scientific research into impactful solutions is at the core of her work. Reflecting on her achievement, Gloria says: “It is incredibly rewarding to play a part in driving meaningful change in a world that needs it more than ever.” Gloria’s innovative approach underscores the importance of women in STEM and their critical role in addressing global climate challenges. Her achievements are a testament to the power of research, dedication, and collaboration in tackling hard-to-abate emissions. Congratulations, Gloria, on this outstanding recognition! #Calix #Decarbonisation #CCS #CCUS #NIM #NetZero #STEM #WomenInStem

🎉 Celebrating Outstanding Projects and Technologies: Meet the ZESTY (Zero Emissions Steel TechnologY) project and Calix Limited CEO and Managing Director Phil Hodgson, Winner of the Mission Innovation Net-Zero Industries Award 2024 in the Outstanding Projects category. 🏆 The award recognises ZESTY’s innovative, low-cost solution for green iron and steel production—critical for decarbonising an industry responsible for ~8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. The technology has been developed and proven at pilot scale in collaboration with industry partners and members of the HILT CRC, coupled with support from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Australian Government. Next, #ZESTY will be upscaled with a modular reactor system, offering low-emission iron production at costs comparable to traditional fossil fuel-based processes. 👏 Congratulations to Calix Limited team for driving the transition to a carbon-neutral future!

We’re proud to share that Heirloom, Leilac’s exclusive Direct Air Capture (DAC) partner, has successfully raised US$150 million in Series B funding! This milestone reflects growing confidence in scalable solutions for carbon removal and their critical role in combating climate change. Heirloom's DAC process uses limestone as a sponge for atmospheric carbon dioxide. Leilac’s innovative electric calcination technology provides the critical heating and separation step to efficiently remove pure CO2 from this sponge. Together with Heirloom, we’re working on groundbreaking projects in the United States, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the State of Louisiana to pave the way for gigatonne-scale carbon dioxide removal. Heirloom CEO, Shashank Samala highlighted: "Heirloom's Direct Air Capture scales based on its ability to become incredibly low cost. Our unique approach uses limestone, a naturally occurring cheap mineral, as a sponge for CO2 which is handled by smart robots. Leilac units then efficiently separate the clean CO2 from the sponge. This unique system sets us up to become the lowest cost DAC solution. Together with Leilac we are working towards address legacy and unavoidable CO2 emissions". As the need for #decarbonisation grows, collaborations like ours demonstrate how industry-leading technologies can support a sustainable future.

Calix Limited congratulates its partner Heirloom on the successful completion of a US$150 million Series B funding round. Calix’s subsidiary, Leilac, has previously signed a global and perpetual exclusive licence agreement for its technology to be used in all Heirloom DAC facilities. Leilac CEO, Daniel Rennie said, "We congratulate our partner Heirloom on this significant milestone, and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration. Our complementary technologies provide unique combined potential to efficiently absorb and then capture atmospheric carbon dioxide using limestone. We continue to rapidly deploy and scale our solution in the pursuit of carbon dioxide removal at the gigatonne scale. “The successful raise shows confidence from a broad range of sophisticated investors in the technology and the supportive emerging market and regulatory environment, and a conviction to invest in great technology solutions to critically important climate challenges.” Calix Limited CEO & MD, Phil Hodgson added, "The successful funding round represents a further proof-point of Calix’s strategy. We continue to rigorously focus on capital-light deployment of our technology to the most prospective target markets through strategic partnerships and immediate revenue generating opportunities."
