The project, based on carbon capture and methanation technologies, aims to reduce carbon emissions by transforming CO2 generated during the lime production process into e-methane, a renewable gas that can be injected into the gas network or used to power vehicles and industry. The process up-scales and combines existing and emerging technologies, such as the fabrication of hydrogen, using some of the world’s largest electrolysers and a new type of lime kiln to generate purer CO2
