QualiCal Vision 2050

QualiCal, as a leading technology provider, has developed innovative solutions to address the sector’s challenges and align with EuLA’s objectives.

The period 2023–2030 will be crucial in bringing enabling technologies to the highest technological readiness levels. QualiCal is enhancing its research and innovation efforts and advocating for the policies required to deliver its full potential.

Improved energy efficiency

The first path, i.e. improving energy efficiency is very natural. By consuming less energy you will emit less CO2. And you will save money as well.

That said, the most efficient QualiCal Synthesis kilns already operate very close to the thermodynamic optimum and on those kilns QualiCal adopted all necessary improvents in terms of energy efficiency.

Energy sources with lower carbon intensity

The second path involves using fuels with lower carbon intensity and other fossil-free energy sources. Examples of this are the use of biofuels and in the future possibly even renewable electricity or green hydrogen. Using biofuels can be challenging due to the different thermal characteristics they have compared to traditional fuels. Certain gaseous emissions can also become a problem in some cases.

Carbon Capture and Storage/Utilisation

The third path, namely CCS/CCU solutions, is the only way to address the raw material based process emissions. At the same time the fuel based emissions will be captured as well. Currently there are no commercial scale CCS-installations in the lime industry. The technological progress is, however, fast and we at QualiCal are aiming for the first pilot scale solution already in 2025.

The Twin transition: green and digital

QualiCal digital-twin

Digital transformation is a term that has clearly taken its place in the current business lexicon. But what does it really mean? Does it represent a true opportunity? Is it nothing more than a way for consultants and vendors to sell more of their wares?

QualiCal is leading digital transformation in LIME industry in the latest years and Digital technology will play a critical role in the achievement of the SDGs.

Spare parts management digital services

Our R&D team is working intensely to develop new products, many of which are based on circular solutions, such as SPARROW4LIME.

The first and only fully integrated spare parts management product designed to manage spare parts in the 21st century. Perfect data, optimal stock and supply chain transparency.

So here you have a short rundown of the basics of CO2 in lime production and what are the ways of reducing the carbon emissions. More on these topics will follow in future posts in this blog series. Stay tuned and join us on our journey towards fossil-free operations.
