Total CO₂ Emissions of Different Lime Production Routes

The graph below illustrates total CO₂ emissions across different decarbonization pathways for the lime sector. Click below to get details about the different decarbonization pathways.

Emissions are categorized into direct emissions (scope 1)—associated with the calcination reaction and fossil fuel combustion for heat supply—and indirect emissions, including emissions from raw material extraction, and energy production and procurement.​​ 

Customize the emissions assessment

Enter the CO₂ emission intensity for each energy source below to account for indirect emissions and explore their impact on the different decarbonization pathways. Set all values to 0 if you want to display only direct (scope 1) emissions.

Click Update to refresh the graph based on your inputs. To return to default values, use the Reset button.

Switch the toggle on to observe the impact of carbon capture implementation on total CO₂ emissions.
