IN BRIEF
What you will learn
Lime: one of the most highly produced substances in the world, and one of the most carbon-intensive. What would a sustainable, low-emission lime production method unlock?
In this informal chat, CarbonBlue CEO Dr. Dan Deviri and Frontier Science Lead Dr. Frauke Kracke discuss the huge potential low-carbon lime has for climate mitigation. As a readily available, reactive alkaline material, lime can soak up huge amounts of CO2 from the environment; if we only had a method to produce it without emitting CO2 in the process, low-carbon lime would open countless pathways for carbon removal, from ocean alkalinity enhancement, through Direct Air Capture, Direct Ocean Capture, and more.
But more importantly, simply by replacing its high-emission counterpart, low-carbon lime can turn existing industrial value chains and industries into carbon removers.

Future of Lime
In this 40 minute video, doctors Deviri and Kracke discuss the chemistry, production process and rationale behind low-emission lime, from its historic and prehistoric impact on Earth’s geology through to future-facing technologies and methods.
