Sustainability Report 2010 Lek d.d.

42 Active Environmental Policy The table of GHG1 51 includes: • dinitrogen monoxide (N 2 O) in the equivalents of CO 2 52 , • fluorinated hydrocarbons (hydrofluorocarbons - HFC) in the equivalents of CO 2 53 and • other greenhouse gases (methane and others) in the equivalents of CO 2 54 . The increasing volumes of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions result from a manufacture using specific tech- niques with higher added value, which, however, require a higher use of energy, water, specific chemicals and other raw materials 55 . To contain the increase in the volume of this type of emis- sions, we use devices for purification of air emissions, and implement various environmental measures. The sites’ en- ergy management teams implement alternative solutions to reduce energy use in manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities by installing energy-efficient devices, and by regulat- ing and insulating the rooms. The savings are documented, accounting for a minor percentage of total CO 2 emission 56 . The Lendava and Menge‰ sites participate in trading with CO 2 emissions vouchers. According to the legislation, we have the obligation to report to the Ministry of the Environ- ment and Spatial Planning, and to pay an environmental fee. At the Lendava site, direct emissions (GHG1) mainly result from organic waste incineration. After a sharp decline in 2007 due to some of the waste from other Lek sites being submitted to other disposal facilities for different methods of disposal, the annual quantity of CO 2 has not changed con- siderably over the past few years. Purchased electricity rep- resents a major source of indirect emissions (GHG2). In the past 5 years, GHG2 emissions have shown only a slightly upward trend. At the Menge‰ site, the main causes of CO 2 emissions (GHG1) are natural gas combustion (> 90%) in gas burners, and the manufacturing structure putting special emphasis on products of higher complexity in terms of energy. Indirect CO 2 emissions (GHG2) result from electricity use. Conse- quently, the rising trend is identical to the trend of the site’s electricity use, which is on the increase due to the construc- tion of new facilities. The decrease in the amounts of greenhouse gas emissions at the Prevalje site is mainly due to a reduced number of fleet cars.
