Following a detailed investigation into the production process and a feasibility study, including the localization of technology to help us reduce our N O emissions, we installed a new catalytic converter at our facility and began 2 operating it in October 2021. The converter decomposes the N O into N and O which can be released into the 2 2 2, atmosphere without concern. Aer the converter’s installation, measurements showed that the conversion of N O 2 were carried out to almost 100%. In 2022, its first full year of operation, the converter allowed us to reduce approximately 1,750 tons of N O 2 emissions, the equivalent of 520,000 tCO e. This has led to a reduction of more than 70% of our global Scope 1 2 emissions.
