We provide chemicals created with the biomass balance approach to reduce CO2 emissions from the start.
Positioned at the start of the value chain, many industrial sectors have a unique opportunity to drive sustainable change from the start. That’s why biomass balance is widely viewed as a positive approach in the chemical industry to reducing emissions.
But while it is becoming more and more popular, it’s often misunderstood and therefore slowing its adoption. Read on to uncover more about the biomass balance approach and new products that are helping to lower CO2 emissions in chemical production.
Breaking down biomass balance
Let's decomplexify a complex topic in just a few sentences:
- The biomass balance approach is...a method used across industries to incorporate more renewable sources in production.
- The benefits of the biomass balance approach include…relying less on limited fossil resources, reducing CO2 emissions from the start, and integrating with existing production processes today.
- The primary challenges of the approach are…the third-party audit that verifies the feedstock qualification, the chain of custody, and product claims.
- Using the approach drives sustainable change by…reducing the overall environmental impact and contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy.
Chemicals from the biomass balance approach
We offer a range of chemical intermediates produced with the biomass balance approach designed to save fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and better utilize the use of renewable resources. All of the products we offer are independently certified. Our portfolio varies based on where you are located. Interested to learn more?
