Syensqo and Shell Chemicals Europe B.V. have partnered to supply mass-balanced, low-carbon ethylene oxide (EO) solutions for the agricultural and industrial markets, it says enable reduced product carbon footprint (PCF) without compromising performance.
Syensqo intends to introduce EO-based solutions made with Shell Chemicals’ lower-carbon feedstocks, which deliver up to 51% lower carbon footprint versus conventional EO1, through carbon capture utilization (CCU) credits via a mass-balance approach.
Verified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Carbon Footprint Certification, these drop-in solutions allow customers to reduce the carbon footprint of their formulations without requalification, while maintaining performance, quality, and supply reliability.
“Customers are under increasing pressure to reduce the carbon footprint of their products without compromising performance or supply reliability. Combining certified low-carbon feedstocks with drop-in compatibility, these solutions offer a practical and immediate way to decarbonize formulations at scale while meeting evolving regulatory and market expectations,” stated Chloé Masselon, sustainability director at Syensqo.
