The Lapua plant of Chemigate Oy is making a substantial investment in emission reductions this year. Thanks to a new heat recovery investment, liquefied petroleum gas consumption will decrease, and waste heat generated in the plant’s processes will be utilized in production. Direct CO2 emissions are expected to decrease by 20% from the current level.
Harri Heikkinen, Production Director at Chemigate Oy, states:
“With the completion of this project, we are taking a significant step in reducing emissions at our Lapua facility. We are committed to environmentally conscious and emission-reducing measures across our entire organization. We will continue to implement further actions to reduce emissions in the future.”
Chemigate also continues its efforts to reduce indirect emissions throughout the value chain, aligning with its newly published SBTi commitment.
