SABIC Launches Methanol Fuel
SABIC has launched its new certified low-carbon product portfolio. As part of the company’s 2050 carbon neutrality pledge, this initiative will help support SABIC’s customers and value chain to achieve their sustainability goals.
The first product in the portfolio will be methanol from SABIC’s chemicals business, which can be used as maritime fuel. The methanol has a lower carbon footprint because of the raw material used for production: Byproduct CO2 is captured from upstream processes–carbon capture and utilization (CCU)–and used as a source of carbon needed to manufacture the methanol. As the captured CO2 is utilized as a raw material, the new product can enable product carbon footprint savings.
