LEVEL|GREEN® - SUSTAINABLE. IMPACT. AHEAD
LEVEL|GREEN®: our low-carbon products
We achieve this progress by avoiding, reducing, and capturing our CO2 emissions. By storing or using the captured CO2, we reduce our emissions sustainably. This allows us to offer products with an average product carbon footprint reduction of 80%* compared to standard lime production.
For our customers, LEVEL|GREEN® means a significant reduction of the carbon footprint within their supply chain (Scope 3) and offers the possibility to substantially support their carbon reduction goals.
*Reduction of approx. 80% of emissions based on Lhoist Europe average of 1,2 t CO2 / ton CaO Scope 1, 2 and 3 (upstream). LEVEL|GREEN® products will, once available, have a remaining product carbon footprint of <250 Kg CO2 / ton of lime or <300 Kg CO2 / ton of dolime. For further information please contact your respective sales contact.
With LEVEL|GREEN®, we secure the supply of various industries with low-carbon products in a climate-neutral future.
1. AVOID.
- Wherever possible, we avoid CO2 production. For example by:
- Switching our electricity supply to renewable energy;
- Reducing input quantities and transportation thanks to increased product efficiency (e.g. Sorbacal® SP);
- Substituting primary raw materials with recycled products (e.g. converter lime).
2. REDUCE.
- Wherever CO2 production cannot be avoided, we reduce them. For example by:
- Increasing use of secondary fuels (e.g. biomass);
- Optimization of our kilns;
- Increasing efficiency of transportation routes.
3. CAPTURE.
- The production of lime inevitably produces CO2. But we prevent it from entering the atmosphere.
- Our plan: We develop carbon capture, transport, usage and storage solutions with partners to capture remaining emissions and either safely store or use the captured CO2. This will enable us to sustain lime production in a future-proof way.
