Syensqo and Shell Chemicals to Advance Low-Carbon Ethylene Oxide Solutions
Certified alternative ethylene oxide (EO)-based ingredients enable customers to reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining high performance standards.
Syensqo and Shell Chemicals Europe have joined forces to supply mass-balanced, low-carbon EO solutions for the agricultural and industrial markets, enabling 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, enabled through the use of carbon capture utilization (CCU) credits via a mass-balance approach.
Verified under the ISCC Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC), these drop-in solutions allow customers to reduce the carbon footprint of their formulations without requalification, while maintaining performance, quality, and supply reliability.
Chloé Masselon, Sustainability Director at Syensqo, commented: "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."
