SMA Mineral supports the Algoland research project, together with Cementa, amongst others. 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.
Algoland is a large-scale project that combines marine environmental research with industrial expertise to come up with innovative and sustainable solutions that reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and nutrient salts – while at the same time producing valuable products. The project is set to continue until 2019.

Did you know that lime has been a part of human civilisation for thousands of years? How long exactly nobody knows, but floor structures dating back just over 9,000 years that used lime binders have been found in the Mediterranean countries. Mankind therefore needs lime in various forms and it enhances our quality of life – yesterday, today and tomorrow.
