Rhi Magnesita

RHI Magnesita, headquartered in Austria and operating in the Clay Building Material and Refractories Manufacturing industry, reported its total greenhouse gas emissions for 2025 as approximately 6.26 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 2.19 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 83 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 3.99 billion kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 emissions were purchased goods and services (about 2.72 billion kg CO2e) and fuel and energy related activities (approximately 468 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, RHI Magnesita's total emissions in 2024 were approximately 6.14 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 2.26 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions at approximately 99 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions around 3.88 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, the company's total reported emissions were about 5.98 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2.18 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of about 115 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 3.69 billion kg CO2e.

RHI Magnesita has set several climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050, with a theoretical pathway developed to achieve near-zero Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 (raw materials) emissions from refractory production by this date. More immediate targets include reducing CO2 intensity for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 15% by 2025, against a 2018 baseline. Additionally, the company targets a 10% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 3 upstream emission intensity per tonne of CO2 by 2030, against a 2023 baseline, and a 10% reduction in Scope 2 emission intensity per tonne of product by 2030, against a 2024 baseline. Absolute reduction targets include a 9% reduction in Scope 1 emissions and a 5% reduction in Scope 2 emissions by 2030, both against a 2024 base year. The company also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. Furthermore, RHI Magnesita plans to achieve an absolute reduction of approximately 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions (24% of baseline total) in Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2035 through measures like increased use of recycled raw materials, fuel switching, and energy efficiency.
