Net Zero Plan for Global Medical Waste Company
Target: Net Zero by 2045
Project Details:
KERAMIDA developed a Net Zero Plan for a global medical waste company, for both their UK and global operations. The process involved verifying existing GHG emission inventories so that an appropriate baseline was selected. Based on our numerous interviews with the Client’s various groups within its company, KERAMIDA proposed a variety of short- to medium-range strategies such as facility-level energy auditing, decarbonization of the fleet, and acquiring renewable natural gas.
Achievements: Significant GHG Emission Reductions & Net Zero by 2045
KERAMIDA proposed an innovative way to transition waste away from incineration to autoclaving, which resulted in significant GHG emission reductions.
The challenge in the medical waste industry is the control of GHGs being emitted from the carbon that is contained in the waste that is being burned. Through industry research and engineering feasibility studies based on KERAMIDA’s combustion and incineration expertise, a method for carbon capture was proposed by 2040 that will result in the company achieving net zero by 2045.
A cost abatement curve was developed to understand the relationship between GHG reductions and capital expenditures.
