2030 Goal:

_____

 
 
 

Reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions 30% including sourcing 60% of electricity from renewable energy, and deliver carbon neutral operations by 2050 or sooner

 
 
 
 
 
 

Roadmap to 2030

As we work towards our 2030 objectives, we focused our efforts in 2020 on:

01

Beginning the transition to low-carbon industrial processes for our insulation product lines

02

Lowering emissions in our manufacturing plants by improving operational practices and transitioning to low-carbon energy sources

03

Procuring 20% renewable electricity and entering into a partnership with Schneider Electric to increase our renewable energy procurement via VPPA partnerships

04

Continuously improving our overall energy efficiency by investing in 99 Bold Energy Plan projects

 
 
 
Advocacy and innovation

We are using our expertise and our industry presence to develop innovative low-carbon and energy-efficient solutions that help industries decarbonize, and advocate for market-based approaches to consistent, predictable policies and regulations that foster climate innovation and investment. We’re also actively pursuing opportunities to reduce GHG emissions along the value chains of a wide range of our processes and products.

For example, we’ve joined the CEO Climate Dialogue, a collaboration between large companies and NGOs working together to advance effective climate legislation in the US. And we’re part of the Alliance to Save Energy as well as other organizations that advocate for clean mobility and renewable fuel.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2020 Responsible Care® Energy Efficiency Awards

  • Delrin® Production Optimization at Washington Works
  • Acid Control at Washington Works
  • Lighting Upgrades at the Experimental Station
  • Thermal Insulation and Steam in Parlin

We continued our effort on energy efficiency projects through the Bold Energy Plan, a long-standing DuPont program that improves energy efficiency and reduces GHG emissions at our global facilities. In 2020, we completed 99 energy-saving projects with a savings potential of about 10,850 MTCO2e annually.
