Verified Emissions Reductions

The Aratu Biomass Cogeneration Fuel Switch Project was developed by strategic partners Energias Renováveis do Brasil (ERB) and the Dow Chemical Company. Emissions reductions were realized through the switching from a natural gas fuel source to a biomass fuel source sourced from verified sustainable eucalyptus farms. The project was developed under the Dow-Rio 2016 Organizing Committee Carbon Partnership.

The Ethylene Oxide Reactor Catalyst Switch Project was developed by strategic partners Petronas Chemicals Glycols and The Dow Chemical Company. Emissions reductions were realized through the development and implementation of an advanced reactor catalyst for ethylene oxide production that reduces direct process CO2 emissions and facility energy requirements. The project was developed under the Dow-IOC Carbon Partnership.

The PASCAL Technology Energy Efficiency for Refrigerators and Home Appliances Project was developed by the Dow Chemical Company. Emissions reductions were realized through the development and adoption of an advanced insulation technology for refrigerators and home appliances that increases energy efficiency. The project was developed under the Dow-IOC Carbon Partnership.

The Anti-Corrosion Coatings Technology for Infrastructure Project was developed by strategic partners PPG and The Dow Chemical Company. Emissions reductions were realized through the implementation of an advanced industrial coating system that increases the lifetime of built environment structures and reduces operation and maintenance activities. The project was developed under the Dow-IOC Carbon Partnership.
