Origen Carbon is building zero-emission lime, and using it as the foundation for large-scale carbon removal. Our oxy-fuel kiln technology has been proven at large-scale demonstration, achieving over 99% calcination extent and 97% uptime.
In March 2026 we completed our Pre-FEED study, confirming a path to zero-emission lime at no cost premium, against a lime market worth over $50 billion today and a route into carbon removal markets that could be worth $1 trillion by 2050.
We're well funded, backed by a $13m Series A led by Barclays Climate Ventures. Getting to our first commercial-scale lime plant means building a genuinely profitable lime business first, with carbon removals as the long-term platform built on top of it.
