SUSTAINABILITY & CARBON FOOTPRINT

REDUCE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT WITH ALMAMET REAGENTS

At ALMAMET, we take action for a sustainable future by crafting high-performance, sustainable solutions that drive innovation, reduce emissions, and create long-term value for the people and the planet.

We understand the challenges every company faces in achieving their net-zero goals. Through our innovative, CO₂-optimized solutions, we empower our customers to significantly reduce their Scope 3 emissions – contributing meaningfully to a sustainable, climate-neutral future. Our ISO 14001 certification confirms these efforts.

Our Actions

We're continuously implementing targeted measures to reduce our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, ensuring that sustainability is actively integrated into all aspects of our operations.
Our key actions include:

Product improvements by using Secondary Magnesium in Magnesium blends and Lime-Magnesium blends
Transitioning to renewable energy sources wherever possible with more than 1000 kWp installed Solar Power in the ALMAMET facilities in Germany, Türkiye and Romania for its Magnesium processing
Extension of our worldwide recycling activities in Germany, Romania, Türkiye and India
Change to more climate-friendly electrical car fleet
Use of silo tankers and usage of re-usable packaging material to reduce the non-recycable packaging to a minimum
Collaborating with suppliers and partners to lower upstream (Scope 3) emissions
Employee training and awareness programs to embed sustainable practices in daily operations

MME SOLAR POWER SYSTEM

The system at MME (ALMAMET Türkiye), installed in 2023 provides a total output of up to 784 kWp to process Magnesium independent of CO2-intensive power supply, which allows offering Magnesium products with almost emissions-neutral production processes.

PRODUCT CARBON FOOTPRINT

The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) is a key tool for understanding and actively managing a product’s climate impact throughout its lifecycle, from production to end-of-life.

PCF accounting is a specialized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach that quantifies a product’s Global Warming Potential (GWP). Beyond measurement, the PCF guides targeted actions to reduce emissions, optimize processes, and enhance sustainability at every stage of the product lifecycle.

Our PCF calculations follow ISO standards and the GHG Protocol, applying ISO 14067 methodology within the LCA framework defined by ISO 14040, and focus on the relevant Cradle-to-Gate system boundary. In collaboration with ClimatePartner, we provide PCF data upon request, enabling informed decisions and supporting transparency in our sustainability efforts.

Reduce your Scope 3-emissions

Steelmaking is one of the largest CO2 emitting industrial processes. Thanks to the approach, forced by ALMAMET, a significant contribution to today’s steelroute can be provided, with the same high-quality ALMAMET is known for:

ALMAMET KM 115 vs. Calcium Carbide CaC2

Compared to Calcium Carbide CaC2 the PCF of ALMAMET’s KM 115 is only about 40% of Calcium Carbide’s PCF. So, it leads to significantly lower emission values in your mono-injection systems and your Scope 3 emissions according the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG).

ALMAMET KM 115 vs. Standard KM

With using ALMAMET’s Lime-Magnesium blend KM 115 in monoinjection systems, the CO2 emissions(kg CO2/to) can be reduced by 75% compared to a Standard Lime-Magnesium blend.

ALMAMET MG 95 L vs. MG 97

With using ALMAMET’s MG 95 L that also content Secondary Magnesium, the CO2 emissions (kg CO2/to) can be reduced by more than 15% compared to a MG 97 from others which is imported as primary Magnesium from overseas.

AWARDED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

We, at ALMAMET, have set ourselves the goal to process 100% of all chip-shaped Magnesium alloys worldwide in order to generate a high-quality input material for the iron and steel industry.

This way, we not only create a recycling solution for the producer of the waste, rather we also make a valuable and sustainable contribution to resource efficiency and reducing the Product Carbon Footprint of our reagents for the Desulfurization of Hot Metal and Steel.

In recognition of its outstanding commitment to Environmental Responsibility, the ALMAMET Group was honored with the Award of Excellence in the ‘Environmental Responsibility’ category by the International Magnesium Association (IMA) in 2020.
