Nuada and MLC have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on a groundbreaking project aimed at achieving net-zero lime production at MLC’s flagship facility in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.
This initiative will leverage Nuada‘s advanced MOF-based VPSA carbon capture system to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by 95%.
This collaboration underscores MLC‘s commitment to embracing innovative technologies that minimize greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and waste generation within an industry inherently associated with CO2 emissions resulting from the calcination of limestone.
Nuada’s carbon capture solution has been meticulously designed for energy-intensive industrial processes where conventional CO2 capture methods often prove impractical due to high energy demands and complex integration requirements.
This cutting-edge technology utilizes MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks), a highly selective advanced solid sorbent, to efficiently capture CO2 while minimizing energy consumption.
Furthermore, the solution incorporates a vacuum swing pressure adsorption (VPSA) process, which effectively separates CO2 from flue gases by utilizing pressure differentials rather than relying heavily on heat.
This innovative approach addresses both the cost and operational challenges associated with traditional carbon capture methods, making it an ideal solution for the lime industry where process emissions pose a significant obstacle to decarbonization.

Renowned for its high-purity lime products, MLC operates its Ste. Genevieve facility to serve critical sectors, including construction, environmental protection, water treatment, food production, and agriculture.
In keeping with its commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship, MLC will integrate Nuada’s carbon capture solution to further solidify its dedication to process innovation, waste management, and emissions reduction.
“Our breakthrough in carbon capture technology sets a new standard for energy efficiency, paving the way for transformative decarbonisation in hard-to-abate sectors like lime manufacturing,” said Dr. Jose Casaban, co-CEO of Nuada.
“Through this collaboration with MLC, we are driving the next generation of carbon capture forward, setting a new standard for emissions reduction and sustainability in the lime industry.”
