| Abstract Scope |
The whole society is forced to reduce the CO2-Emissions to tackle the climate-change. The industry is one of the largest emitters of CO2, therefore also the refractory industry hast to act. The article gives an overview about the CO2-Emissions of the sector and the company RHI Magnesita in detail. The journey starts, with exact CO2-data collection and calculation and ends with the development and implementation of measurements to reduce the footprint of the sector.
The CO2-data collection is done with an SAP-Tool and will be introduced in detail. The different measures are recycling, green-electricity, energy-efficiency and fuel switch will be analyzed as well. That is the starting point of the CO2-journey towards net-zero or zero-emissions. On the upcoming measures an outlook is enclosed. |
