Nobian Industrial Chemicals B.V. (Utrecht, the Netherlands) announced that is has become the first chemical company in Europe to offer a complete portfolio of ISCC PLUS certified low-carbon chloromethanes.
This certification underscores Nobian’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions across the value chemical value chain. The certification includes the company’s full portfolio of Chloromethane products – methyl chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, including its stabilizers.
Markus Mingenbach, Senior Vice President, Chlor-Alkali and Chloromethanes at Nobian commented: “As a leading European supplier of Chloromethanes, we are part of numerous chemical value chains. I am proud that we are first to bring a fully certified low-carbon chloromethanes product portfolio to the market. This complements our existing ISCC PLUS certified products, such as Chlorine and Caustic Soda and ISCC EU certified Green Hydrogen. Together with our customers, we continue to work towards reaching our collective sustainability goals, demonstrating Nobian’s ambition to ‘Grow Greener Together’.”
Thorsten Schulz, Director Global Marketing & Sales Chloromethanes at Nobian: “The ISCC PLUS certification ensures that our products are manufactured using renewable raw materials and meet stringent environmental standards. After the successful completion of the certification process, our chloromethane products offer a carbon footprint reduction of 30 to 57% compared to conventional chloromethanes. This enables our customers to make transparent decisions, based on independently verified data and supporting their own product carbon footprint calculations and emission reduction strategies. We are proud to launch our ISCC PLUS Chloromethanes – including stabilizers – worldwide, effective immediately.”
Chloromethanes are essential building blocks for a wide range of applications and market segments globally, including Phamaceuticals, Food, Agro, Surfactants, Water Treatment, Building & Construction, Automotive, Electronics & Semiconductors, Refrigerants, Fluoropolymers, and Silicones among others. Nobian, formerly Nuoryon’s base-chemicals business, produces its full range of Chloromethanes products at its site in Frankfurt, Germany.
