博特莱克蒸汽网络扩建

 我们正在参与荷兰 Botlek 蒸汽网络的扩建。我们在博特莱克工厂的能源回收系统可将废热转化为可供合作伙伴使用的蒸汽。通过这一联合行动，鹿特丹博特莱克社区每年将减少 5000 万立方米的天然气消耗量，从而减少二氧化碳 (CO₂) 排放量。为了表彰博特勒克蒸汽网络，我们在2025年欧洲负责任关怀®奖（European Responsible Care® Awards 2025）上获得了欧盟化学工业联合会（Cefic）的表彰，获奖类别为“超越界限：在化学品价值链和供应链中推广负责任关怀®伦理”。

1% Energy Saving Initiative

In 2025, we launched the 1% Energy Saving Initiative to encourage our plant teams to identify energy-efficiency opportunities and strengthen resilience amid energy price volatility. Through operational improvements, digital optimization, and heat-recovery projects, our Carbon Black manufacturing sites in Shanghai, Tianjin, Xingtai, and Xuzhou China achieved 88,000 GJ of annualized energy savings, including 48,500 GJ of electricity, 33,500 GJ of thermal energy (steam), and 6,000 GJ of natural gas. These reductions have lowered energy demand across our operations, delivering both cost efficiencies and meaningful climate benefits. Building on this success, the initiative has become the foundation for a system-wide energy-efficiency program, demonstrating how continuous improvement and disciplined execution create lasting environmental and business value.

Scaling Energy Efficiency Across Our Operations

Achieving our 2030 energy goal requires a sustained focus on improving efficiency across our operations. To advance this effort, we launched a targeted initiative to identify, implement, and track site-level energy improvements. Piloted at our carbon black facilities in China, the program delivered approximately 88,000 GJ of annualized energy savings. Building on this success, we are expanding the approach across our global manufacturing network, starting with our carbon black sites to drive meaningful improvements in overall energy performance.
