Sigma Lithium's Triple Zero Green Lithium: The foundation of a globally sustainable supply chain
Sigma Lithium effectively lowered its carbon footprint with a series of pioneering initiatives, paving the way forward for the metals & mining sector.
The Company's Triple Zero Green Lithium is produced at its state-of-the-art Greentech lithium plant at its Grota do Cirilo Project in
The Company's main achievements towards abating its carbon footprint include:
- Zero tailings:
100% dry stacked tailings, with all by-products eliminated through sales or upcycling to pave roads. - Zero hazardous chemicals: Utilizes Dense Medium Separation ("DMS") at the Greentech plant, which does not utilize hazardous chemicals.
- Water efficiency: Utilizes
100% sewage water for its plant, fully recirculated. - Water preservation: Preserves
100% of the Piaui Creek source of drinking water for the communities living around Sigma Lithium. - Clean renewable energy: Utilizes
100% clean renewable energy for its Greentech Plant via "behind the meter" supply agreements. - Biodiesel: Utilizes biodiesel fuel in some of its trucking fleet, with plans to increase to up to
50% by 2025. - Explosives / ANFO: Decreased explosives load with computerized load simulation strategies.
Further, due to the low carbon content of Sigma Lithium's products, as well as its environmentally sustainable production methods, the Company's carbon footprint was offset with carbon credits purchased from Carbonext (which are verified through Verra Verified Carbon Standard), making the shipment carbon neutral.
