Zeolite in the Hydrocarbon Industry
Zeolites and CO₂ capture: the ‘sponge-like’ mineral that Mazda uses to clean exhaust fumes
A car that, the more it drives, the less carbon dioxide it leaves behind. It sounds like a contradiction — and yet, Mazda has just proven it under real racing conditions. At the heart of this technology lies neither an exotic catalytic converter nor an expensive battery, but a humble, porous mineral that we at Zeolife.gr know very well: zeolite. Let’s take a look at exactly what Mazda has achieved, and, above all, why zeolite is the material that makes ‘carbon capture on the move’ possible. Mazda’s achievement: 804 grams of CO₂ during a 24-hour race At the Fuji 24-hour ... Read more
Which zeolite should you choose? – Short Video
zeolite is a natural mineral with many applications, but its origin and processing play an important role in determining where it is best used. Different grades can be used in agriculture 🌱, livestock farming 🐄 or in more specialised applications. Did you know that not all zeolites are the same? 🤔
Zeolites and biogas upgrading: Innovation in biomethane production – Postgraduate thesis
The need for renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Biogas is a solution that utilises organic waste to produce energy. To be used efficiently, biogas must be upgraded to biomethane. According to this study, one of the most modern upgrading methods is Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology, in which zeolites play a significant role. What is biogas and why does it need to be upgraded? Biogas is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials, such as agricultural waste, livestock manure and urban sewage. Its main component is methane (CH4), but it also contains carbon dioxide (CO2) and other ... Read more
New particle size distributions for certified Greek zeolite
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our products, we are pleased to announce that three new particle sizes of certified Greek zeolite are now available. In this way, we achieve the best possible results in zeolite applications across a wide range of sectors.
Greek zeolite – Sales begin via Zeolife
Our company, true to its mission, is immediately commencing the distribution of Greek Thracian Zeolite, which is produced in the Rodopi region.
A visit to the quarry and factory of the Greek zeolite from Thrace, owned by the company AVGI, in Komotini.
Photographs from the visit to the quarry and the factory of the company AVGI Ltd, where the extraction of Greek zeolite from Thrace began.
The countdown has begun for the extraction of Thracian zeolite by the Petroton-based company, ‘Lithoxoos’.
The technical study for the operation of the quarry at Petrota, in the municipality of Nea Orestiada in the prefecture of Evros, for the extraction of Greek zeolite has been approved. The approval covers approximately 30 stremmata in the ‘Palioklissi’ area, north-west of the village of Petrota.
New findings on Greek zeolite and promising news for the coming year
New developments regarding Greek zeolite and promising prospects for the coming year have been brought about by two new decisions from the Regional Council and the Directorate of Environment and Spatial Planning of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.

Licence granted for the extraction of Greek zeolite – N. Lygeros
Following years of campaigning to promote the use of Greek zeolite, an official licence has been granted to operate the quarry for this industrial mineral, on a public plot of 83.4273 stremmata, at Kokkalo Petrotwn in the municipality of Orestiada, Evros, to Olympus S.A. The decision was taken by the Ministry of Environment and Energy on 20 February 2017 and bears the reference number: ΔΜΕΒΟ-Β/Φ6.11.7/171440/315. In practical terms, this means that we are moving not only into a new phase for zeolite, but into a whole new cycle. This is because it will be the first time in Greece’s history ... Read more
