The GLOBE project is a ground-breaking project for the dolime industry using state-of-the-art technology to capture the CO2 emitted during the dolime burning process and make it available for further use or sequestration. The project would represent a total investment of € 250 million over the next few years. For more information, please visit the Lhoist website.
The centrepiece of this project is the construction of a new kiln from the Maerz EcoKiln® series by Maerz Ofenbau AG in Zurich. This new development of a kiln based on the proven PFR technology, makes it possible to enrich the CO2 content in the kiln exhaust gas to over 90 %, thus greatly simplifying the downstream systems up to the liquefaction of the high-purity CO2. This would results in optimised investment and operating costs. You can find more information about the Maerz EcoKiln® on the Maerz website.
The new kiln is scheduled to become operational in 2027 and the downstream CO2 processing plants would be built from 2028.
