Chemours Recognized With Two Awards From U.S. Department Of Energy’s Better Buildings, Better Plants Initiative

The Chemours Company, a leading global player in Titanium Technologies, Thermal & Specialized Solutions, and Advanced Performance Materials, has been honored with two prestigious awards from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings, Better Plants initiative. These awards acknowledge Chemours' exceptional achievements in energy efficiency, decarbonization, water efficiency, and waste reduction projects. Chemours has been recognized with both the Better Project and Better Practice awards, which highlight the company's innovative approach to enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions.

Chemours was presented with the Better Practice Award for introducing an internal bonus metric that focuses on sustained energy efficiency projects. This initiative resulted in a remarkable 3.5% reduction in energy intensity across the entire company in its first year. The achievement was made possible through process improvements, small capital projects, and control strategies implemented across fourteen different sites.

Additionally, Chemours received the Better Project Award for its remarkable accomplishment of saving over $1 million annually on waste disposal costs at its manufacturing site in Corpus Christi, Texas. By optimizing the performance of an existing distillation column, the company significantly increased its recycling yield, leading to a remarkable 60% reduction in waste in just one process step.

Dr. Amber Wellman, Chemours' Chief Sustainability Officer, expressed immense pride in receiving these accolades and emphasized the company's unwavering commitment to sustainability. Chemours is actively working towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy intensity at its U.S. sites, aligning with its ambitious 2030 Sustainability Goals.
