Limestone – a key ingredient of civilisation

Michael Isoz, a landowner and farmer near Trosa in Sörmland, sees considerable advantages in using liming to improve soil structure, and he has a good working relationship with SMA Mineral. “Liming doesn’t solve every problem, but it does make life that bit easier and provides greater stability on a day-to-day basis,” he says.

SMA Mineral supports the Algoland research project. One of the aims of the project is to bind carbon dioxide from the lime and cement industry's flue gasses to algae that can then be used as fodder, raw materials for chemicals, biofuel etc.
