Business Wire
Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global specialty materials
and chemical company, announced it has been approved by the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE)’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon
Management as a Utilization Procurement Grants (UPGrants) vendor.
Celanese is now the only producer offering low-carbon acetic acid
under the ECO-CC product name, which positions the company to help
municipalities meet the growing demand for more sustainable and
circular solutions.
As the U.S. economy moves toward a lower carbon future, the DOE
is seeking to support states, local governments, public utilities
and agencies to procure commercial or industrial products derived
from anthropogenic carbon emissions. This includes Celanese low
carbon acetic acid, which uses the ECO-CC product name because it
is manufactured using carbon capture and utilization (CCU)
technology. These product offerings have demonstrated significant
net reductions in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and passed a
critical DOE review of the product’s life cycle analysis. As an
UPGrants vendor, Celanese has already begun working with our
value-chain partners to extend product usage opportunities to
eligible U.S. government entities nationwide.
“By using recycled CO2 as a raw material, we unlock the
potential to offer lower carbon footprint options with carbon
capture content across more than 90 percent of our Acetyl Chain
product offerings,” said Kevin Norfleet, global sustainability
director, Acetyls at Celanese. “Our ECO-CC solutions are uniquely
positioned to help UPGrants eligible entities reduce their carbon
footprint in applications including waste-water treatment,
de-icing, fertilization, interior painting and more.”
Earlier this year, Celanese announced the operation of its CCU
project at its Clear Lake, Texas, site as part of its Fairway
Methanol joint venture with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. The project is
expected to capture 180,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)
industrial emissions and produce 130,000 metric tons of low-carbon
methanol annually. The CCU project takes CO2 industrial emissions
that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere from both
Celanese and third-party sources and applies
reduced-carbon-intensity hydrogen to chemically convert the
captured CO2 into a methanol building block used for downstream
production. This low-carbon input is then used to reduce
traditional fossil fuel-based raw materials, such as acetic acid
ECO-CC, and can help produce a wide range of end products across
most major industries.
