Henkel Corporation and Celanese Corporation have announced a partnership to enhance circularity in emulsion production by utilizing carbon capture-based materials. Through this collaboration, Henkel will now produce water-based adhesives made from captured CO2 emissions.

Celanese Corporation announced that the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) has certified its Low Carbon CCU (carbon capture and utilization) Methanol under the ISCC Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC) system. The newly certified Low Carbon CCU Methanol demonstrates a greater than 70% reduction in carbon footprint relative to a global average benchmark for fossil-based methanol production.

Celanese Corporation announced it has been approved by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management as a Utilization Procurement Grants (UPGrants) vendor. Celanese is now the only producer offering low-carbon acetic acid under the ECO-CC product name.
