About Us

World-Leading Technology

Using world-leading CO₂ capture technology, Hot Lime Labs is developing industry changing solutions for decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries. Thanks to its ability to capture & release CO2 and heat on demand the, Hot Lime Materials are applicable in many industries such as Horticulture, Hydrogen Production, Gas Cleaning and many others

Our mission is to develop solutions for the decarbonisation of hard to abate industries using our patented Hot Lime Technology

Our Origins

Hot Lime Labs was founded by Dr. Vlatko Materic (CTO) and Tijs Robinson (CEO) in 2017 with technology originally developed at Callaghan Innovation.

Limestone based technologies showed great promise for CO2 capture but the economic drivers were lacking until we identified the vast unmet demand for clean CO₂ in the greenhouse industry

We secured its first private investment for Hot Lime Labs in late 2017 and spend the following years developing the base technology around the 1st application – Heat and CO2 for Greenhouses – culminating in a sucessful demonstration plant operating at a commercial greenhouse since 2023.

Our technology for greenhouses is now being commercialised by Aplenty

At Hot Lime Labs, our goal is to develop profitable decarbonisation solutions for hard-to-abate industries improving both financial and environmental bottom line.
