Potential Locations

The process needs to be located somewhere: somewhere where the required raw materials are cheaply available and sufficiently closely located to one another to be practical and economic to be useful. It is envisaged that the process will be undertaken in a wide variety of locations. As energy is a key cost in the calcination of limestone, it is anticipated that the process is most likely to be located where energy is cheapest.

  • Where are there cheap and abundant quantities of limestone that can be used for the production of lime?
  • Where is energy cheapest?
  • Is there such a thing as an isoerg map – a map which displays the contours of the cost of energy?

If you are able to help answer any of these questions, please get in touch with us.  This project cannot progress without your input.

Middle East and Sahara are well kown countries containing cheap energy and lime stone. 12000 year ago, the sahara had luxury vegetation.
It can be probably possible to developp in the Sahara two ways for CO2 absorption: becarbonate production with lime and renewing of the tropical vegetation to absorb CO2 and produce water.
