    Representatives of both parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement

    Taking root in China and looking to the world to fulfill corporate carbon reduction commitments

    Taking root in China and looking to the world to fulfill corporate carbon reduction commitments

    In 2021, the world will enter a new era of carbon emissions.
    The European Union encourages enterprises to introduce energy-saving and carbon-reduction measures with the "carbon border tax".
    determination for social change

    As a high-pollution and high-emission industry generally recognized, the chemical industry is facing huge challenges in reducing emissions

    Mr.
    Pan Luming, President of Huntsman Polyurethanes Asia Pacific, commented: "Since its entry into China, Huntsman has always insisted on being based in Shanghai, radiating the Asia-Pacific region, and making suggestions for China's economic and social development

    The research team of this project is composed of Huntsman and Shanghai Institutes for Advanced Study of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
    Through data collection, research and coordination and communication between upstream and downstream industries, the research team will study the production of upstream basic raw materials, the processing of intermediate raw materials in the midstream, and the production, processing and application of downstream polyurethane materials.
    The direct and indirect emissions generated during the production and use of products are included in the statistical scope, and the carbon measurement of the whole life cycle of "returning to nature from the cradle" is truly realized.
    The key factors and links of the footprint provide directional support for the carbon reduction technology in the production of Huntsman's polyurethane products


    .


    In addition, this project will also comprehensively evaluate the energy saving and emission reduction potential of polyurethane products in typical application scenarios, providing a theoretical framework for the market application of polyurethane products

    Reducing carbon and producing green to continue to empower sustainable development

    Reducing carbon and producing green to continue to empower sustainable development

    Since entering the Chinese market in 1996, Huntsman has always regarded China as one of the most important markets in the world, adhered to the principle of "rooting in China and serving China", and established a whole local industrial chain of local production, local research and development, local supply and local sales, creating And upgraded the four sustainable innovative solutions for the Chinese market and the green environmental protection system based on circular economy, and continued to provide Chinese customers with innovative polyurethane solutions close to the local area
    .

    Faced with the new requirements of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" for enterprise development, Huntsman adheres to the important concept of green carbon reduction, and attaches great importance to the sustainable renewal of the entire industry chain from source to end of products.
    This cooperation will Help Huntsman to promote the low-carbon layout of the supply chain, adopt technologies, applications and practices of energy conservation and emission reduction, continue to empower the upstream and downstream green transformation of polyurethane products, contribute to the Chinese society with safer, low-carbon and sustainable green services, and contribute to China's Contribute to the realization of "green production and life>
