In a significant stride towards decarbonising one of the world's most carbon-intensive sectors, Israeli climate tech company CarbonBlue has unveiled its groundbreaking technology to reduce emissions in the lime production industry.

The innovative solution was announced ahead of the Planetech week conference, highlighting the company's commitment to sustainable development and environmental rehabilitation.

CarbonBlue's EcoLime process offers a game-changing approach to lime production, utilising renewable energy to minimise emissions and optimise industrial operations.

This cutting-edge technology has the potential to transform the industry, making it more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

This was disclosed by the CarbonBlue Marketing and Communications Manager, Mr Adam Etzion, when a delegation made up of PLANETech Investor Alliance, the most influential group of climate-tech investors in Israel, embarked on an interactive tour of the company.

The visit was to gather hands-on information about the company’s activities as part of PLANETech Week, currently taking place in the Middle East country.

The delegation paid a similar visit to three other startup companies, which included HomeBiogas, H2PRO, and Brenmiller Energy Tempo, where each of them made a presentation on their performance

According to Mr. Etzion, the company's connection to the desalination industry runs deep, with its R&D facility and first pilot project located within Kibbutz Maagan Michael's desalination plant.

CarbonBlue's AquaFix technology removes CO₂ from water, offering co-benefits to the core business of water-utilising facilities.

This innovative solution supports diverse sectors and value chains, empowering industries to achieve sustainable growth through environmental rehabilitation.

By integrating CarbonBlue's technology into desalination processes, facilities can reduce their carbon footprint, decrease energy consumption, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

The production of lime is a significant contributor to global CO₂ emissions, accounting for approximately 8% of total emissions.

CarbonBlue's EcoLime process addresses this issue by producing lime in an environmentally conscious manner and removing CO₂ from the atmosphere.

The technology has far-reaching implications, enabling industries to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

CarbonBlue's commitment to sustainability extends beyond its innovative technologies.

This approach demonstrates that climate mitigation doesn't have to mean degrowth but rather a shift towards more sustainable practices and resource management.

CarbonBlue is closely linked with the Israeli water desalination industry, with engineers from desalination backgrounds working together to provide meaningful benefits to the industry.

The company's collaboration with Kibbutz Maagan Michael's desalination plant provides a core benefit for the community, showcasing the potential for integrated solutions that drive sustainable development.

CarbonBlue's innovative technologies and commitment to sustainability have positioned the company at the forefront of the climate tech industry.

As the world transitions towards a more sustainable future, CarbonBlue's EcoLime process and AquaFix technology are set to play a significant role in reducing emissions and promoting environmental rehabilitation.

Organised by PLANETech—a non-profit joint venture between the Israel Innovation Institute and the Consensus Business Group—PLANETech Week (7–11 December 2025) is the flagship annual gathering of players within the global climate-tech ecosystem.

With over 1,000 active climate-tech startups, more than $9.5 billion raised since 2018, and over 500 multinational R&D centres, Israel has emerged as a superpower in deep-tech solutions for energy, water, agriculture, food, and mobility.

This year’s theme, “Inside Israel’s Climate Innovation”, will spotlight how Israeli ingenuity is delivering real-world answers to the climate crisis, answers that could transform Africa and the Global South.
