提升 focuses on reducing product carbon footprint

提升 Performance Materials announced today two efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of its products. The company has made its global compounding operations carbon neutral, making it the first integrated polyamide producer to decarbonize a substantial part of its operations, 和 it has secured ISCC+ certification for the use of bio-based materials.

提升’s seven compounding sites in 北美, 欧洲 和 亚洲 produce the company’s Vydyne®, Starflam®HiDura™ engineered materials used in EVs, 电池, renewable energy systems 和 countless other applications.

Carbon neutrality for the sites’ scope 1 和 2 emissions was accomplished through a mix of process improvements, 和 renewable energy 和 carbon offsets. Annually, this achievement is equivalent to eliminating the emissions from 4,000 passenger vehicles.

On the other end of the company’s fully integrated production, 提升 is now certified to use bio-based feedstocks to produce acrylonitrile, 己二腈, hexamethylene diamine 和 polyamide 66 utilizing a mass-balanced approach. With this certification, 提升’s customers would have the option to request grades with as much as 40% of bio-based material. 

“Reducing our carbon footprint is a major part of our sustainability effort,克里斯·约翰逊说, 提升’s director of sustainability. “We are focused on meaningful, long-lasting improvements that balance environmental 和 product performance, 和 benefit our people, 邻居, customers 和 consumers.”

提升, a fully integrated producer of durable materials, has committed to an 80% reduction of its GHG emissions by 2030. 朝着这个目标前进, the company has invested in emissions abatement technology at its Pensacola, 佛罗里达, nylon plant 和 cogeneration units at its Decatur, 阿拉巴马州, 己二腈的植物. And 30% of the energy used at 提升’s acrylonitrile plant in Alvin, 德州, is derived from a utility-scale solar farm through a power purchase agreement.

“We remain committed to leading the industry in sustainability, even as we grow to meet the needs of our customers globally,菲尔·麦克迪维特说, 提升’s president 和 CEO. “These milestones are a big step toward ensuring that every pound of our product, whether made in Suzhou or Pensacola is made with the smallest environmental impact possible.”

提升 will be showcasing its sustainability efforts, including its low-carbon-footprint products, under its Advancing 在一起 theme at K 2022 from 19-26 October in Hall 6 St和 A07.
