Syensqo and Shell Chemicals Europe B.V. collaborate to advance low-carbon ethylene oxide (EO) solutions

Syensqo and Shell Chemicals Europe B.V. have joined forces to supply mass-balanced, low-carbon EO solutions for the agricultural and industrial markets, enabling reduced product carbon footprint (PCF) without compromising performance.

Syensqo intends to introduce EO-based solutions made with Shell Chemicals’ lower-carbon feedstocks, which deliver up to 51% lower carbon footprint versus conventional EO¹, enabled through the use of carbon capture utilisation (CCU) credits via a mass-balance approach. 

Verified under the ISCC Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC), these drop-in solutions allow customers to reduce the carbon footprint of their formulations without requalification, while maintaining performance, quality, and supply reliability.

"Customers are under increasing pressure to reduce the carbon footprint of their products without compromising performance or supply reliability. Combining certified low-carbon feedstocks with drop-in compatibility, these solutions offer a practical and immediate way to decarbonise formulations at scale while meeting evolving regulatory and market expectations" said Chloé Masselon, Sustainability Director at Syensqo.
