Energy & environment
From safety improvements to improved refining – minerals can serve the Energy & environment sector with a range of smart benefits.
Clean, natural minerals supporting the Energy & environment sector
We provide the Energy & environment sector with a full spectrum of performance minerals, end products and services designed to serve a broad range of industries, ranging from coal mining to biodiesel production and cryogenic insulation.
Our ImerCoal calcium carbonate-based products foster enhanced safety in the coal mining industry.
Our engineered diatomites and perlite minerals improve biodiesel and oleofuel refining. Thanks to these two minerals, many types of feedstock – including the most heavily contaminated waste fats – can be successfully filtered to produce high quality oleofuels, simplifying the process and reducing spent filter cake and oil loss.
Our full range of absorbents is effective solutions designed for cleaning the environment in the event of oil and fuel spillages, or acid and chemical leakages.
We are also a recognized provider of mobile perlite evacuation, expansion and installation services for cryogenic insulation all over the world.
To withstand the actual and expected impacts of climate change and protect the environment for future generations, we must adjust the way we live and do business.
50 houses in Argentina have already been constructed with a new type of bricks made with 90% perlite residue - this is a perfect illustration of applying circular economy to the mineral industry.
Imerys received in August the highest recognition possible from EcoVadis – the reward of its continuous improvement efforts in CSR.
