ALMAMET takes action for a sustainable future by developing solutions to reduce the total carbon footprint of our reagents.
We understand the challenge of our customers to reduce their CO2 emission targets.
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:
Our photovoltaic 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. The system covers the entire power demand of the plant for our own Magnesium processing.
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.
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.
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.
