CO2 Reduction

“Our pathway to carbon neutrality is both ambitious and achievable. At Carmeuse, we believe reaching net zero requires a multifaceted approach.” - Sébastien Dossogne

Our biggest environmental impact comes from CO2 emissions, mainly generated by hard-to-abate process emissions as well as combustion emissions. We developed a detailed roadmap that guides us toward carbon neutrality by 2050, which will require upskilling, continuous investment, technological advancement as well as shared infrastructures to be deployed by third parties for carbon transportation and sequestration.

To monitor our progress, we measure: 

  • Our total CO2 emissions for Scope 1 (own emissions), Scope 2 (purchased electricity) and Scope 3 (upstream and downstream emissions).
  • Our CO2 efficiency: tons of CO2 Scope 1 (kiln) emitted by tons of lime produced.
       →  Our share of renewable electricity in total electricity consumption.

    Nature Preservation

    We preserve nature to the best possible extent, notably through our quarry restoration projects. Carmeuse ensures that biodiversity, including wildlife, is not only preserved but also enhanced on our sites.

    Tree planting has also become a yearly tradition across Carmeuse locations worldwide. Globally, Carmeuse planted more than 55,000 trees in 2023.

    Resource Optimization

    At Carmeuse, we strive to use the natural resources we extract and purchase as efficiently as possible.

    We are committed to transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy wherever we can, guided by our biomass and renewable electricity roadmaps.
