However, since the production of calcium oxide (the main starting material of calcium hydroxide) involves calcination of limestone, which involves great deal of heat, it would be not very productive if fossil fuel is used in the production process. The calcination of limestone in itself releases the same amount of carbon dioxide as calcium hydroxide will absorb, so this method is at best carbon neutral In the production of metals, lime is injected into the waste gas stream to neutralize acids such as fluorides and chlorides prior to being released to atmosphere.
