The Group further decreased by 46% the carbon footprint of its bio-based Rilsan\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0polyamide 11<\/a> grades reaching less than 2 kg CO2<\/sub>e\/kg(1)<\/sup>, by using renewable or low carbon energy sources and by making several energy efficiency improvements in its production sites. It represents an improvement of around 70% relative to traditional polyamide resins using fossil-based raw materials and conventional energy sources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derived entirely from renewable castor seeds,\u00a0Rilsan\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0polyamide 11<\/a>\u00a0is 100% segregated bio-based. Furthermore, the amino 11 monomer and the downstream polymers are produced using a significant proportion of low carbon and renewable energy \u2013 both in terms of electricity and combustible fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arkema thus recently announced a biomethane supply agreement with ENGIE<\/a> in France, and carried out several energy efficiency improvements in its polyamide 11 chain production sites over the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis is an important step for our customers and the markets we serve,\u201d\u00a0said Erwoan Pezron, Senior Vice President, Arkema<\/strong>\u2019s High Performance Polymers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe lower carbon footprint we announce today applies to our entire global production, not just a particular set of grades or a certain location. This allows our customers to deliver on their commitment to decarbonize and to develop more sustainable products at scale. Furthermore, we have a strong action plan in place to further decarbonize this range, with a 2030 target to reduce the carbon footprint by a further 50%. Our objective is to continue to offer our customers high-performance materials with one of the lowest carbon footprints in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

This represents a strong step forward in Arkema\u2019s drive to ever-lower carbon footprint and lower climate change impact through a combination of sustainable raw materials, energy sources, and manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
