Clariant catalysts announces emissions reductions achieved in 2023

Jens Cuntze, President of Clariant Catalysts, commented: “We are very pleased that our innovative catalysts enabled even stronger carbon reductions for our customers. Year after year, we are living up to our slogan, ‘Greater catalyst. Smaller footprint.’ Besides developing sustainable solutions for the chemical industry, we have invested heavily in novel technologies to accelerate the energy transition. As future technologies are more widely adopted, we expect to see even greater carbon savings over the coming years.”

Richard Haldimann, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer at Clariant, added: “We are committed to improving energy efficiency and helping industry cut emissions from chemical production. Our solutions aim to lower the carbon footprint of manufacturing both chemicals and fuels. By enhancing yields, optimising energy utilisation, and enabling waste reduction, our catalysts are driving greater sustainability across diverse sectors.”

In addition to providing sustainable solutions for traditional sectors, Clariant has also excelled in developing catalysts that advance energy transition. Together with technology partners, the company is paving the way for deploying blue hydrogen, low-carbon ammonia, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuels. Furthermore, Clariant’s expansive portfolio includes catalysts for hydrogen transportation through chemical conversion, followed by release at the point of use, for example, through ammonia cracking or liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). All these emerging applications will contribute in the future to Clariant’s avoided emissions total.

¹The methodology used by Clariant to calculate carbon reductions achieved by its customers is based on internationally recognised standards.
