Swedish greentech company SaltX Technology is active in the electrification of emission-intensive industries and aims to be at the forefront of the industry transition.

SaltX is a Swedish greentech company that aims to become a leading player in the green industrial transition by delivering technology and projects that facilitate the elimination of millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Active in the electrification of emission-intensive industries, SaltX has developed an innovative technology for electrification and carbon separation which can be used for zero-emission production of quicklime and cement. The lime and cement industry is one of the largest industrial emitters and SaltX aims to establish a new clean standard for the sector.

The company joined LeadIt to help expand its network, spread knowledge about its electrification and carbon dioxide separation technology and position itself as a vital technological enabler in achieving the Group’s carbon reduction objectives.

In June 2025, SaltX Technology entered into a strategic partnership and investment relationship with Holcim to advance low-carbon cement production.

The two companies intend to jointly develop and industrialize SaltX’s electric plasma-based and calcination technologies to advance fully electrified cement production, which would significantly reduce fossil fuel use and CO₂ emissions in clinker and cement manufacturing.

We’re in this journey together and we all want the same end goal. So we have to share. We have to ask, we have to anwer each other’s questions. OK, how do we do this? What do we do in India? How we can do it here in Sweden and so on. The next step is to make it reality in a common project. And that’s why we are here.
