Our offering to decarbonize the chemical industry

Our range of solutions encompasses everything from biofuels and feedstock to implementing electrification and complying with the EU ETS. These solutions are all designed with the goal of supporting your sustainability targets and boosting your business performance. Our comprehensive offerings include:

Renewable Gas Procurement for Scopes 1 and 3 

Mitigate Scope 1 and 3 emissions in your chemical processes by using Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). Our experts are ready to guide you in producing high-value chemicals (HVCs), ammonia, methanol and hydrogen using RNG. If you’re also looking to replace conventional feedstock with more sustainable alternatives, our expert team can offer personalized decarbonization solutions. 

Biofuels and Bio-Feedstock Solutions for Scope 3

Integrating biofuels and bio-feedstock options can also make your chemical production processes more sustainable. This strategic approach effectively reduces Scope 3 emissions and aligns your operations with eco-friendly practices.

Renewable Electricity Sourcing for Scope 2 

Improve environmental performance in downstream products and base chemical manufacturing by using Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) such as GoOs, RECs and I-RECs, or by engaging in Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs). Our renewable electricity solutions help you reduce Scope 2 emissions efficiently by taking a holistic approach to decarbonization.

Energy Efficiency for
Scope 1

Optimize energy efficiency in your operations and cut Scope 1 emissions by purchasing White Certificates. Available in several regions, these services help you meet your emissions reduction targets. For Scope 1 compliance, we offer expertise in EU ETS and other regulations like Carbon Taxes and CBAM. Through Vertis Environmental Finance, we support public climate disclosure so that your organization can ensure compliance while meeting customer demands for eco-friendly products and strengthening your brand’s reputation.

EU ETS and Compliance Expertise for Scope 1

Comply with the different regulations, such as the EU Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS), Carbon Taxes, and CBAM. Through Vertis Environmental Finance, we assist in public climate disclosure, ensuring compliance, and meeting customer demands for environmentally friendly products, bolstering your brand’s reputation.

Neutralizing Unavoidable Emissions 

Financing high-quality carbon reductions and removals globally can help you address residual emissions and strengthen your sustainability efforts. This approach reinforces your commitment to being an environmentally responsible organization.

FAQ

  • What are the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the chemical industry?
    Collapse
    Greenhouse gas emissions in the chemical sector primarily stem from three scopes. Scope 1 (17%) covers direct CO2 emissions from chemical production and energy generation, while Scope 2 (7%) includes emissions from purchased electricity and heat. Scope 3 (76%) constitutes the largest portion, encompassing emissions from upstream processes like methane leakage during fossil-based input material extraction, transport, and refining/production. This scope also accounts for emissions related to product use and end-of-life treatment processes, such as waste incineration, landfilling, and plastics recycling.
  • How does renewable electricity aid in the decarbonization of the chemical industry?
    Collapse
    Scope 2 emissions can be mitigated by replacing fossil fuels for renewable electricity options, like power generation, heating, cooling, and electrolysis. Companies can procure Energy Attribute Certificates, like RECs, GOs or I-RECs, as well as Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs). 
  • How does renewable gas contribute to the decarbonization of the chemical industry?
    Collapse
    Renewable gas can significantly contribute to the decarbonization of the chemical industry by serving as a source for heating, cooling, power generation, and feedstock. It can reduce scope 1 and 3 emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and improve the industry’s brand image.
