Renewable Carbon Initiative
The aim of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) is to support and speed up
the transition from fossil carbon to renewable carbon for all organic
chemicals and materials.
The RCI addresses the core problem of climate change, which is extracting and
using additional fossil carbon from the ground that will eventually end up in the
atmosphere.
De Monchy is dedicated to focus on phasing out fossil resources and to use
renewable carbon instead. Besides, this initiative initiate further action by
brining stakeholders together, providing them with information, and shaping a
policy to stive for a climate-neutral circular economy.
Partners who are able to contribute to this Renewable Carbon Initiative
Lawter Robert Kraemer Jayant
As part of its certified environmental management system (ISO-14001) Lawter has several processes in place to keep its waste volume and cost as low as possible. Some of the processes handle the sorting of the waste into different streams. Read more | Robert Kraemer is taking part in the renewable carbon initiative by decreasing hazardous raw materials, using safer chemicals and green energy by using the waste heat of their thermal after-burning system for heating the reactor. Read more | Jayant contributes to the initiative through the investment in R&D activities to produce even more safer chemicals. Jayant is focussing on reducing waste and ensuring a maximum use of their materials. Read more |
The equivalent to decarbonisation in the energy sector is a transition to renewable carbon in
the chemical and plastics industries.
