Lubrizol’s Kallo site sources more than 90% of its steam demand from the ECLUSE waste-to-energy network in Belgium.
The switch from conventional natural-gas-fired steam to recovered residual heat is expected to reduce annual CO₂e emissions by approximately 7,000 metric tons.
This case study shows how local industrial partnerships and circular energy infrastructure can deliver scalable decarbonization and lower local NOₓ emissions.

At the Lubrizol Kallo site, a change in how steam is sourced is delivering a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing a local circular energy network. Through a valued partnership, our Kallo site receives steam generated by a neighbouring facility, Lanxess.

Traditionally, this steam was generated using a conventional natural‑gas‑fired boiler. In 2025, the Lanxess site fully transitioned to the ECLUSE waste-to-energy network, which gathers residual heat from waste incineration and converts it into usable steam.

Today, more than 90% of Kallo’s steam demand is supplied through the ECLUSE network. This shift will reduce annual CO₂e emissions by ~7000MT, while also lowering local NOₓ emissions.
