DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel is a highly reliable protective solution for next-generation insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules that operate at higher voltages. This advanced material resists the higher temperatures associated with these IGBTs and supports greater reliability, lower power losses, and higher power efficiencies in electric vehicle (EV) batteries and inverters for photovoltaic (PV) […]
Hexion, a global leader in adhesives, systems, and AI technologies for wood panel manufacturing, recently announced a partnership with Bloom Biorenewables, a Swiss startup that has developed a breakthrough method for preserving the natural adhesive properties of lignin. Together, the companies aim to commercialize a renewable, high-performance alternative to synthetic adhesives. Bloom has developed a […]
Covestro recently announced that four of its U.S. sites have reached net-zero Scope 2 electricity emissions through the allocation of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). This achievement is a result of Covestro’s existing virtual Power Purchase Agreement (vPPA) with Ørsted, a renewable energy leader in the U.S. market, headquartered in Denmark. The Covestro U.S. sites that […]
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) see a realistic path forward to the manufacture of bio-derivable wind blades that can be chemically recycled and the components reused, ending the practice of old blades winding up in landfills at the end of their useful life. The findings are published in […]
Experts from nova-Institute, on behalf of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI), prepared a new report titled Evaluation of Recent Reports on the Future of a Net-Zero Chemical Industry in 2050. The study builds on RCI’s work in introducing the concepts of renewable carbon and de-fossilization. It provides a critical assessment of net-zero visions for the […]
The Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI), a global network of more than 60 companies dedicated to supporting and accelerating the transition from fossil carbon to renewable carbon for all organic chemicals and materials, has published a position paper outlining the importance of chemical and physical recycling and what is needed to realize its potential. In a […]
AkzoNobel recently announced that all of its manufacturing locations in Latin America are now operating on 100% renewable electricity. The accomplishment further boosts the company’s ambition to reduce carbon emissions across the full value chain by 50% by 2030 (baseline 2018). The milestone – reached late last year – follows on from similar achievements in […]
Arkema has signed long-term renewable energy agreements for its sites in Calvert City, Kentucky; Beaumont, Texas; Chatham, Virginia; and West Chester, Pennsylvania; as well as for all Bostik sites in the United States. The agreements compromise a major milestone in the company’s climate plan. By 2024, Arkema is expected to obtain approximately 40% of the […]
Covestro and RWE have signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for the supply of power and guarantees of origin from offshore wind turbines in the North Sea for the Covestro production site in Antwerp, Belgium. The contract runs from 2026 to 2030 and will enable Covestro to increase the share of renewable energy needed […]
