US-based specialty material solutions provider Celanese has been recognised for its low-carbon methanol after it showcased a greater than 70% reduction in carbon footprint compared to fossil-based methanol production.
The company was recognised by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) for its use of carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) to produce low-carbon methanol as part of its Fairway Methanol joint venture with Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
Granted under the ISCC Carbon Footprint Certification system, the newly certified methanol is produced using CO2 industrial emissions that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere.
Low carbon hydrogen is then combined with the CO2 to convert it into a methanol building block used for downstream production.
