- By 2026, a new purification technology will be implemented at the Carling site.
- The project will reduce CO2 emissions by 20% and costs €130 million.
- The Carling facility produces acrylic monomers for various industries.
- The project is partly funded by the French State and the EU.
New Purification Technology by 2026
By 2026, Arkema will implement a new, patented purification technology at its Carling site in France. This initiative aims to enhance operational efficiency and significantly reduce the environmental footprint of the facility.
CO2 Emissions Reduction
The new technology will enable a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions at the Carling site, aligning with Arkema's climate plan validated by SBTi for a 1.5°C trajectory by 2030. This effort is part of Arkema's broader decarbonization strategy.
Production and Applications
The Carling facility is a major acrylic plant in Europe, producing acrylic monomers used in performance coatings, adhesives, water treatment, and other performance materials. These materials are increasingly in demand for applications in electronics, electric vehicle batteries, new energies, 3D printing, and home energy efficiency.
Investment and Funding
This €130 million investment will lead to more energy-efficient and lower carbon-intensive operations, optimized resource and waste management, and a significant reduction in solvent use. The project is partly funded by the French State under the France 2030 program, operated by ADEME, and supported by the European Union's NextGenerationEU initiative.
