Nuada and MLC have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on a project aimed at demonstrating net-zero lime production at MLC’s flagship facility in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. The initiative will utilize Nuada’s advanced MOF-based VPSA carbon capture system to reduce CO2 emissions by 95%. This project aligns with MLC’s commitment to adopting innovative technologies that reduce green house gas emissions, energy consumption and waste in an industry with inherent CO2 emissions deriving from the calcination of limestone.
Nuada’s award-winning carbon capture solution is designed specifically for carbon-intensive industrial processes, where traditional CO2 capture methods are often impractical due to high energy and integration costs. The technology leverages MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks), a highly selective advanced solid sorbent that enables efficient CO₂ capture with reduced energy use, alongside a vacuum swing pressure adsorption (VPSA) process, which utilizes pressure rather than heat to separate CO₂ from flue gases. This innovation tackles both the cost and operational challenges that conventional carbon capture presents, making it an ideal solution for the lime industry, where process emissions are a significant barrier to decarbonisation.
