This also includes using alternative raw materials. Biomass, CO<sub>2<\/sub>, as well as end-of-life materials and waste replace fossil raw materials such as crude oil or natural gas. Carbon is managed in a circular way. In realizing these ambitions, both companies are relying on long-term supply partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to biogenic CO<sub>2<\/sub>, Covestro is investigating the use of other technical gases from renewable sources. The materials manufacturer is already offering its customers its first sustainable products, such as climate-neutral\u00b9&nbsp;&nbsp;MDI. With the expansion of its alternative raw material base, this portfolio is set to grow further in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISCC (\u201cInternational Sustainability and Carbon Certification\u201d) is an internationally recognized system for the sustainability certification of biomass and bioenergy, among others. The standard applies to all stages of the value chain and is recognized worldwide. ISCC Plus also encompasses other certification options for instance for technical-chemical applications, such as plastics from biomass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b9&nbsp;<sub>Climate neutrality is the result of an internal assessment of a partial product life cycle from raw material extraction (cradle) to the factory gate (Covestro gate), also known as cradle-to-gate assessment. The methodology of our life cycle assessment, which has been critically reviewed by T\u00dcV Rheinland, is based on ISO standards 14040 and 14044. The calculation takes into account biogenic carbon sequestration based on compensation measures.<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About SOL Kohlens\u00e4ure GmbH &amp; Co.
