Ethanol is an essential building block for our chemicals. Sourcing that Ethanol from biobased inputs, like corn, means our chemicals are renewable. And since we don’t depend on fossil fuel-based raw materials, we’re able to make measurable strides towards more circular products and systems.

We’re not the first to prove Ethanol is a viable alternative to petroleum based inputs. But we deliver on this promise—at scale—for very important industrial chemicals. And as a low carbon alternative, we are removing carbon from the atmosphere at a rate of 40-80% compared to traditional manufacturing technologies.

Our industrial processes produce Hydrogen as a byproduct, which helps to reduce the energy demands of our manufacturing. The process heat needs met by closing our loop drastically reduces our emissions and helps to further reduce our impact on the environment.
In the future, we will be evaluating our Hydrogen strategy to ensure it is used to its highest and best use helping with the energy needs of Viridis and the communities we operate in.

And what’s more, the carbon sequestration of the corn while it’s growing helps to remove additional CO2 from the environment. We’re working with scientists to develop systems that can help products have a net-negative impact on the client and could help our customers meet the commitments they have made to reduce their Scope 3 emissions.

With a relatively small footprint thanks to our inputs and reactants, our ethyl acetate production reduces the use of fossil fuel resources compared with alternative processes. Our innovations in sustainable chemistry allow our products to contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal progress, particularly in the areas of responsible consumption/production as well as climate action.
