Conducting Carbon footprint and Life cycle assessment for the mineral industry is one of the core competencies of our engineers. Accordingly, EESAC can carry out the following tasks:

•  Carbon footprint of products

Case study: Carbon footprint of aggregates,

                      executed for the federation of the extractive and transformative industry belge, FEDIEX

• Life cycle inventories (LCI) according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044

Case study: Life Cycle Inventories of Ground & Precipitated Calcium Carbonates,

                     executed for the European association of calcium carbonate and dolomite producers, CCA-Europe,

                     and published in the ELCD (European reference Life-Cycle Database)

• Life cycle assessments (LCA) according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044

Case study: Life cycle Assessment of Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA)

• Critical review of LCI / LCA according to ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and ISO/TS 14071 for the sectors of mineral industry and inorganic chemistry

EESAC has actively participated in the development of:

• CO₂ benchmarks for lime, dolime and sintered dolime for the European emission trading system
• EN ISO 19694-5:2014-08 standard (Stationary source emissions - Determination of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in energy-intensive industries Part 5: Lime industry)
