Energy & environment
From safety improvements to improved biofuel refining – minerals can serve the Energy & environment sector with a range of smart benefits.
Clean, natural minerals supporting the Energy & environment sector
We provide the Energy & environment sector with a full spectrum of performance minerals, end products and services designed to serve a broad range of industries, ranging from coal mining to biodiesel production and cryogenic insulation.
Our ImerCoal calcium carbonate-based products foster enhanced safety in the coal mining industry.
Our engineered diatomites and perlite minerals improve biodiesel and oleofuel refining. Thanks to these two minerals, many types of feedstock – including the most heavily contaminated waste fats – can be successfully filtered to produce high quality oleofuels, simplifying the process and reducing spent filter cake and oil loss.
Our full range of absorbents is effective solutions designed for cleaning the environment in the event of oil and fuel spillages, or acid and chemical leakages.
We are also a recognized provider of mobile perlite evacuation, expansion and installation services for cryogenic insulation all over the world.
With a desperate lack of healthcare supplies for Covid-19 patients in Brazil’s largest state, Imerys produced and delivered 3.3 tonnes of cryogenic perlite that was essential for safeguarding bottles of medicinal oxygen at the right temperature.
