SkreenHouse Invests in Electric Calcination Pioneer Litherm

 

SkreenHouse Ventures Ltd, the innovation and investment platform of SigmaRoc,
has invested ~ €1m in the €6.5 million seed financing round of Litherm
Technologies GmbH ("Litherm"). Litherm is developing fully electric
calcination technology that enables lime and cement to be produced without
CO(2)-emissions.

The investment supports the development of practical solutions aimed at
decarbonising the lime and construction materials industry. Technologies such
as fully electric calcination, combined with built-in CO(2) capture, could
significantly reduce the unavoidable process emissions in lime production
while remaining commercially viable.

The funding builds on existing cooperation between Litherm and industry
partners, including SigmaRoc's German entity Fels-Werke, which is providing a
site and material supply for the construction and operation of a pilot plant
to evaluate the technology under real-world conditions.

Ludovic Emsens, Manager at SkreenHouse Ventures, commented:

"We support technologies that enable meaningful industrial decarbonisation
while maintaining economic viability. Litherm's fully electric calcination
process and integrated CO(2) capture approach is an important step forward for
the industry."

SigmaRoc continues to evaluate opportunities to support innovation across its
core markets as part of its broader sustainability and value creation
strategy.
