Oldcastle Stone Products is a lime plant in United States. Its listed capacity is 3,262 t of lime. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry. By capacity it ranks #75 among 75 lime plants in United States. It emits about 4,022 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 87% above the national median for this sector.

In context: how this facility compares

At 3,262 t of lime, Oldcastle Stone Products is below the median lime plant in United States (208,805 t of lime). Subsector: lime. As lime plant, it requires high process heat (typically 600–900°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Lime plants calcine limestone in kilns at 800–900°C; the quicklime they produce reacts with moisture and has to be kept dry.
