The collaboration between SaltX and SMA Mineral began in 2022 with the goal of building the world’s first electrified production facility for emission-free quicklime, a material essential as a slag former in steel manufacturing. Following the positive results from Björneborg Steel and previous progress at SaltX’s test, a few preparations remain before SMA Mineral can make the final decision on the construction of the first ZEQL plant in Mo I Rana, northern Norway. Svante Fielding, CEO of SMA Mineral, explains: “The successful production of electrically manufactured quicklime marks a significant breakthrough for both ZEQL and Swedish engineering. With the positive results we are now seeing from Björneborg Steel, we are making significant progress toward establishing the facility in Mo i Rana. We look forward to taking the next step to scale up production as soon as possible.” Björneborg Steel, a customer of SMA Mineral, has conducted several melting processes with accompanying analyses, confirming that ZEQL quicklime functions as expected and can replace traditionally produced quicklime in steel manufacturing. Mikael Andreasson, Head of Production at Björneborg Steel, states: “The tests we have done with ZEQL quicklime have shown excellent results. The quicklime has demonstrated rapid dissolution in the melt and a high refining capacity. We have conducted analyses in both the electric arc furnace and the ladle furnace, where the results show that slag formation occurs as expected and that the basicity is in line with the product we normally use in our process.” For SaltX, the results from steel production using quicklime produced with the company’s technology represent a significant step forward. Lina Jorheden, CEO of SaltX, states: “This demonstrates that the entire value chain for electrically produced quicklime, from raw material to steel, works effectively and that our innovation, the Electric Arc Calciner (EAC), is the key enabler. With the successes we have witnessed at the beginning of 2025, we look forward to continuing our work on the planned ZEQL plant in northern Norway.” The successful production marks another significant step in the steel industry’s transition to a more sustainable and climate-neutral future.

Aber sicher wissen tut das natürlich niemand. Die letzten News (welche ich auch geteilt habe) waren sehr positiv.

Vermutlich geht es nochmal unter 0,4€ bis die nächsten News kommen, dann geht es wieder steil bergauf. Wäre schön wenn der Kurs sich mal auf einem gewissen Niveau stabilisiert, aber dafür muss Vermutlich noch etwas mehr Substanz her.

meint ihr es lohnt sich jetzt mit einzusteigen oder nochmal abwarten bis zum nächsten dip?

Da hat wohl jemand Dick eingekauft.

SaltX achieves significant breakthrough at its plant for electrified, emission-free quicklime production SaltX today announces that the company has achieved key milestones in material quality and operational runtime during tests conducted at its pilot facility in collaboration with SMA Mineral. The company has also produced a significant volume of high-quality quicklime, which will now undergo testing and evaluation in steel production. This success marks an important breakthrough, paving the way for further commercialization and expansion. Since the fall of 2024, SaltX has focused substantial resources on conducting extensive technology and material testing at its test and research facility (ECRC) in Hofors. The primary objectives have been to ensure high material quality (degree of calcination and reactivity) and extend operational runtimes while maintaining material quality. These goals have now been met, and a delivery of electrically produced quicklime is being prepared for testing in steel production at a Swedish steel manufacturer during the spring of 2025. Lina Jorheden, CEO of SaltX: “This breakthrough proves that the technology and concept for electrically produced quicklime meet the highest quality standards and are scalable. We can now take the next step in our validation and scaling plan for the technology and begin preparations for additional material testing.” SaltX has fulfilled the quality requirements for calcination (material and reactivity) relevant to the steel, pulp, and paper industries, confirming a stable and high-quality process well-suited for industrial application. In specific test runs, the operations team has achieved a calcination rate of 99 percent (carbon content

Fokus liegt nicht mehr nur auf dem Salzspeicher, was ich sehr positiv ansehe. Die Entwicklungen zusammen mit SSAB sind auch solide. Eigentlich verwunderlich warum der Kurs hier so niedrig ist schon wieder. Ich sehe SaltX eigentlich bei Werten zwischen 1 - 2€, nach aktuellem Stand.

da findet man ja gar nichts mehr zu echt schade. wenigstens ein Statement warum es aufgegeben wurde wäre interessant. Wird vllt zeit für eine Umbenennung in Cement_CalcX?! :)

oh hey Dilos :) wenigstens noch einer hier aktiv. war 2-3 Jahre weg vom Börsenparkett wie siehts hier aus operativ? wird das noch was mit dem Salzspeicher oder hat sich das kerngeschäft verschoben `?

Now, a new grant has been awarded to the company to carry out the necessary adaptations and tests to apply the technology for cement production, an industry estimated to contribute about 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. SaltX's electrification technology has attracted significant interest from the cement and construction industries. Lina Jorheden, Acting CEO of SaltX, commented: "It is very encouraging that the Swedish Energy Agency supports us in our work to commercialize SaltX's electrification technology for the cement industry. The grant is an important component in the upcoming industrialization phase." The Swedish Energy Agency's motivation: "The Swedish Energy Agency believes that the project can contribute to the energy transition and climate goals by electrifying the calcination process in the cement industry, which currently relies on fossil fuels. Electrification could lead to significant emission reductions, both in Sweden and internationally. Furthermore, the project is assessed to have good market potential and demonstrated value through its established partnerships and potential for export revenue." The grant is awarded under the pilot and demonstration program. It will primarily be used to validate and evaluate SaltX's electrification technology to produce fossil fuel- and carbon dioxide-free cement.
