CCUS

Magnesia steps up its efforts on CO

2

capture

and recovery

Achieving decarbonisation through Carbon Capture, Usage

and Sequestration (CCUS) is a priority for our magnesia

activity. Almost 60% of our Scope 1 emissions are generated

by the chemical processing of our raw materials. So reducing

our carbon footprint requires us to embrace advanced

CCUS technologies. A team has been dedicated to working

intensively on this project since 2023. Its f irst step was to

explore available carbon capture technologies and build

partnerships with other companies. The ultimate aim is to

develop a complete CO

2

value chain to include its transport,

use and storage.

At the same time, there is also a parallel focus on the

practical implementation of carbon capture solutions and

the introduction of CO

2

treatment technologies. We are also

working collaboratively with innovation centres to identify

viable applications for captured CO

2

that are consistent with

greenhouse gas reduction regulations and policies.

The progress already made on this crucial project underlines

our commitment to a more sustainable model of production

and a signif icant reduction in the carbon footprint of our

magnesia activity.

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

Increasing the incentive to adopt more

sustainable travel options

We are working to encourage the use of soft mobility

options at all our sites in France. Riding a bike is the

most popular option, and employees based in Saint-Malo

and Dinard now have free access to a f leet of electric

bikes, backed up with road safety training and a free bike

maintenance and repair service.

But drivers haven’t been overlooked, and 2024 saw the

launch of a partnership with BlaBlacar Daily (to encourage

car sharing) and the commissioning of 20 electric charging

points in employee car parks.
