Reduce fuel oil through hydrogen substitution
By retrofitting an oil-fired lime kiln, the Pacífico pulp mill aims to reduce fuel oil consumption and GHG emissions by using residual hydrogen from a nearby sodium chlorate plant.
Transform sewage sludge into agricultural fertilizer
Transforming waste water treatment plants sludge into fertilizer, called biosludge, for planting or restoring pastures
Change product standard requirements to reduce food waste
Large volumes of food are discarded because they don’t meet aesthetic standards. Changing product standards could reduce food waste, associated emissions, and financial losses.
The Carbon Trust
Produce sodium chlorite with clean energy
Cutting emissions by reducing imports while addressing Scope 2 emissions through the use of clean electrical energy.
Adopt smart storage solutions to reduce food waste
Around 13% of food loss occurs due to inadequate refrigeration; sustainable cold chains can reduce emissions and increase revenue by keeping perishable items fresher for longer.
The Carbon Trust
Reduce food waste with efficient packaging
Packaging can reduce food waste by extending shelf life and preventing contamination. However, packaging strategies should be carefully designed to minimize waste and emissions.
The Carbon Trust
Optimize nutrient management for reduced on-farm emissions
Companies striving to reduce emissions derived from mineral fertilizers should adopt fertilizer best management practices and Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE)
WBCSD
Reduce enteric fermentation emissions from ruminant animals
Reduce enteric fermentation emissions from ruminant animals by improving feed quality, animal productivity, and using dietary additives
WBCSD
Adopt heat recovery technologies in the sawmill
Adopting heat recovery technologies in the sawmill can increase efficiency and reduce heat loss which saves energy, reduces fuel combustion and emissions associated with operations.
Forest Solutions Group
Increase carbon removals with sustainable forest management
Sustainable forest management is critical for maintaining and increasing carbon removals in working forests, and reducing operational emissions associated with forest production
Forest Solutions Group
Maintain and enhance forest carbon sinks with silviculture
The impacts of climate change on forest health and productivity are constantly evolving. Weyerhaeuser manages their forests to ensure they remain part of the climate solution
Weyerhaeuser Company
Switch to alternative proteins in commercial food production
Commercial food producers can adopt meat alternatives by sourcing proteins from plants, fermentation, or cultivated animal cells to reduce emissions from animal-based foods
BCG
