Syensqo’s Kallo-Beveren production facility in Belgium has successfully achieved carbon neutrality by running exclusively on renewable energy. The facility produces Syensqo’s Ryton polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) specialty polymer compounds.

The transition, effective since March 2024, covers the complete decarbonization of the plant with regard to direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. It is in line with the company’s One Planet Sustainability Strategy targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2040.

“Using renewable energy to power our compounding operations at Kallo-Beveren is a first step in Syensqo’s global commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040,” said Johan Van Vlierberghe, Kallo-Beveren site manager at Syensqo.
