Slag & Clinker Thermal Capture
Molten metal slag exits the furnace at 1,200 - 1,500°C. We capture residual heat at the point of discharge through proprietary heat exchange architecture.

Solving the Global Building Materials Shortage. Sustainably.
Claze converts residual heat from metal slags and cement clinker into high performance calcined clay, unlocking a scalable, low cost supply of supplementary cementitious materials with dramatically lower CO2/t emissions.

Low-Carbon
Building Materials
Transfer
Controlled Heat Exchange
Captured thermal energy is routed to an adjacent calcination chamber. Zero combustion. Zero additional fuel.
Activation
Clay Calcination at 500 to 850°C
Raw clay is thermally activated into a highly reactive supplementary cementitious material that can directly displace Portland cement clinker in concrete mixes.
Benefits

Revenue and
Emissions Reduction
For Industrial Partners
Reduce reported emissions
Economic allocation of waste heat recovery improves reported scope 1 and scope 2 figures.
Generate revenue from waste streams
Waste heat that is currently dissipated generates value through a commercial arrangement with Claze.
No change to core operations
The process is additive. Integration requires no modifications to existing plant workflows.
For Cement Producers
Complementary product
Calcined clay is not dependent on fly ash or GGBS supply, which are both structurally declining.
Lower clinker to cement ratio
A quality SCM enables cement producers to reduce clinker content and the associated process emissions.
Design standards compatible product
Calcined clay is an established SCM with existing standards frameworks. It does not require reformulation of cement products.
