Climate change is one of the major challenges facing society and one on which we must act as quickly as possible. This global challenge is at the heart of Adisseo’s concerns.
We are dedicated to mitigating climate change, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing pollution across air, water, soil, and microplastics.
Our initiatives include adopting energy, efficient technologies, transitioning to renewable energy, optimizing production processes ans investing in low-carbon projects.
We prioritize effective water management by reducing or recycling consumption and preventing pollution. Additionally, we focus on biodiversity conservation, sustainable land use, and community engagement to improve ecosystem sustainability.
Embracing circular economy principles, we aim to minimize waste, promote recycling and contribute to resource efficient economy.
Through these efforts, we strive to protect ecosystems, improve environmental quality and support global climate goals.
Next decades' Adisseo Green House Gases (GHG) trajectory is ambitious and compatible with our capacity developments.
Keeping 2020 as reference year and taking into account the organic growth outside Europe, which strongly impact GHG emission distribution, Scope 1&2, Adisseo has established target of reduction by 20% of GHG absolute emissions in Europe and decrease of 20% intensity GHG emissions at rest of the world.
Scope 3 studies & modelizations are currently ongoing. Adisseo will work for establishing an average annual reduction of Scope 3, based on reference year.
Our targets were to reach -20 % in GHG emissions, Energy and Water use.
GHG emissions in 2024
Energy in 2024
Water Use in 2024
Adisseo continues to accelerate its efforts toward sustainability through a comprehensive climate adaptation and transitions strategy aiming to reduce its environmental footprint and support the green transitionn accross industries.
Our strategy to mitigate global warning includes specific actions to minimize the impact of our production processes.
In 2024, we successfully absorbed the growth in production (19% increase) with mitigations on greenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions, despite the challenges.
The key measures include:
Key GHG Achievements:
Scope 1: 428,796 tons of CO²e ( +8% vs 2023), with measures in place to mitigate the rise.
Scope 2: Significant reduction in Scope 2 emissions, particularly through the use of a steam turbine at the Nanjing plant, resulting in a 33% decrease in Scope 2 emissions compared to 2023.
Scope 3: Focused on monitoring raw material purchases, representing 74% of a total GHG emissions in 2020.
Energy management is a cornerstone of our sustainability approach.
Despite the rise in production, our energy consumption has increased only 13%. Key initiatives for energy efficiency include:
Notable projects:
ZIBAC DECLYC Project in France: Adisseo is part of a consortium developing CO² capture and reuse technologies, focusing on decarbonization and reducing Scope 1 emissions.
Our Goal on China Carbon Emission : Peak & Neutrality
China has committed to 2 stages of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Strive to reach its Peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
Through industrial optimization, energy transformation, and technological innovation the total amount of carbon emissions are being significantly reduced.
Our Bluestar Adisseo Nanjing Chemical Company is driving impactful change with a major sustainability project " PAQUES" set to deliver significant environmental benefits in 2025:
This initiative reinforces our commitment to sustainable operations, ressource efficiency, and a reduced environmental footprint.
At Adisseo, we take a comprehensive approach to pollution & waste management, addressing both operational emissions ans the environmental footprint of our value chain.
We are dedicated to reduce waste through a three-level approach: source reduction, recycling and responsible disposal with a strong focus on minimizing landfil use.
In 2024, 75% of our total waste was recovered or recycled, reflecting our commitment to circularity.
Our production processes are designed to reuse or treate effluents, and we continously work to lower non recycled waste through innovative recovery strategies.
As part of its activities, Adisseo is committed to reducing its environmental impact by providing sulfuric acid regeneration services. A key compound for many industries, sulfuric acid is produced both for Adisseo own needs and for external customers.
In Europe, Adisseo plays a major role in the recovery of spent sulfuric acis streams through its regeneration unit in Saint Clair du Rhône, France.
This production site fully embodies the circular economy model, where industrial streams are purified and transformed into reusable resources. By recovering sulfur from externals spent sulfuric acid and internal effluents, from the methionine production chain, and converting it into concentrated sulfuric acid.
Adisseo minimizes effluents, secures its supply, and reduces the consumption of virgin raw materials, contributing to a more sustainable industry.
This approach supports a circular economy while reducing its customers environmental footprint.This activity accounts for a reduction of the global carbon footprint.
