Lanxess marks Bonn climate event by revealing its own CO2 emissions savings
16/11/2017
It came up with the figure while the 2017 World Climate Change Conference was taking place in Bonn, close to its headquarters in Cologne. Lanxess said the amount of CO2 emissions it has saved in the last ten years is the equivalent of emissions from the all the cars registered in the two German cities over the same period.
Lanxess production sites in Germany already meet the reduction requirement set by the German Federal government for 2030. The chemicals manufacturer is now working to reduce CO2 emissions further, with the goal of achieving a further 25% reduction in specific greenhouse gas emissions between 2015 and 2025.
It is also reducing climate gas emissions at its Porto Feliz site in Brazil by using bagasse, a fibrous by-product of sugar production, to generate CO2-neutral energy.
