The Chemours Company, a global chemistry company with pioneering market positions in Titanium Technologies, Thermal & Specialized Solutions, and Advanced Performance Materials announced the creation of an international F-gas Lifecycle Program across the Americas, Asia, and Europe.
The program aims to advance the safe, global recovery, reclaim, and reuse of fluorinated gases (F-gases) across its low global warming potential (GWP) Opteon™ products, Freon™ refrigerants, and FM-200™ portfolios.
global oversight
This program, which began as region and country-specific initiatives, will include global oversight to drive additional adoption, partnerships, and reclamation.
As part of the program, Chemours will complete a global review to identify opportunities for expansion and increased collaboration.
global circular economy
Chemours’ commitment to supporting a global circular economy and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
This announcement reinforces Chemours’ commitment to supporting a global circular economy and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, as outlined in its recent Chemours Sustainability Report.
It also advances the net zero objectives of Chemours, broader industry, and global legislative bodies through overall emission reduction.
F-gas Lifecycle Program
Chemours’ international F-gas Lifecycle Program includes agreements across the:
1) Americas
- Canada
- The United States
2) Asia Pacific
- Japan
3) Europe
- All 27 countries in the European Union
- United Kingdom
sustainable and circular future
“At Chemours, we are dedicated to harnessing the power of our chemistry to create a more sustainable and circular future,” said Joe Martinko President of Thermal & Specialized Solutions (TSS) at Chemours.
“We have committed to, and are advancing, significant emission reduction within our gates. Now, we’re expanding our focus to emission reduction throughout the product lifecycle."
F-gases
This international F-gas Lifecycle Program will help advance circularity and sustainability around the world"
"F-gases, unlike so-called “natural” alternatives can be recovered, reclaimed, and reused across multiple applications, maximizing resource efficiency, minimizing waste, and lowering emissions."
"This international F-gas Lifecycle Program will help advance circularity and sustainability around the world, ultimately supporting global climate targets and minimizing impact on our shared planet.”
role in decarbonization
The company continues to invest in and expand reclaim channels, including in the US and the recent extension of its EU and UK programs to reclaim low GWP refrigerants.
In addition to offering the potential for circularity, Chemours’ portfolio of F-gas technologies also plays an important role in the decarbonization of multiple industries and delivers significant socioeconomic value through innovation, reliability, safety, and efficiency.
