Key Take Aways

CO2 abatement is possible, but comes at a price

Carbon costs seriously impact the production costs of lime

For deep reductions, CCS would be needed

We are the EU lime industry!

Lime is a versatile product, many markets, many benefits

Lime Production

Mining and hauling

Crushing and sieving

Production

CaCO3 (solid) + energy CaO (solid) + CO2 (gaseous)

Emissions from lime production: CaCO3 CaO + CO2

CCS / CCU

-CCS is the only option to reduce the process emissions.

-Uncertainties:

-Economic viability;

-Availability of large scale infrastructure;

-Energy use;

-Capture rate;

- Future innovations;

> Biomass + CCS leads to negative emissions.

> CCU could actually give carbon a value and increase the

economic viability of capturing carbon.
