Inkampani isivele iqale ukusebenza, njengoba besho, futhi ithumele imikhumbi emibili yalolu hlobo kuya emagcekeni emikhumbi kaMeyer eTurku, eFinland.
Ngayinye yale mikhumbi yayiyoba nayo umthamo wabagibeli besikebhe abangu-6.600 XNUMX futhi zizoqala ukusebenza ngo-2019 nango-2020.

Lo kaphethiloli uzosetshenziswa zombili ku ulwandle oluphakeme njengesikhathi sokuhlala ethekwini.
En ukuqhathanisa kusetshenziswa udizili wasolwandle ojwayelekile, nokuqukethwe kwesibabule okungu-0,1%, awekho ama-oxide esulfure noma izinhlayiya zomsizi ezikhishwayo. Ngakho-ke, ukukhishwa kwe-nitrogen oxide kuzoncishiswa kuze kufike ku-80% nokukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide ngama-30%.
