Calix has developed a patent-protected, platform technology that we are developing to help solve some key sustainability challenges as defined by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The core technology is an Australian novel, patented “kiln” that produces “mineral honeycomb” – very highly active minerals. Calix is using these minerals, which are safe and environmentally friendly, to improve waste water treatment, biogas production and phosphate removal (SDG 6 and 14), help protect sewer assets from corrosion (SDG 9), help improve food production from aquaculture and agriculture with reduced chemical use (SDG 2, 14 and 15), and developing new battery materials (SDG 7 and 13).
Calix develops its technology via a global network of research and development collaborations, including governments, research institutes and universities, some of world’s largest companies, and a growing customer base and distributor network for its commercialised products and processes.
For example, Calix is leading the LEILAC Project which is a consortium that includes the largest lime and cement companies in the world – HeidelbergCement, Cemex, Lhoist, Tarmac (a CRH company) – and some of the worlds’ leading universities and research institutes. Project LEILAC forms an integral part of the European Union’s target of reducing CO2 emissions by 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
