Evoniks eCO portfolio for reduced CO2 emissions

eCO stands for Evoniks aim to eliminate CO2 through use of renewable or circular feedstocks via massbalance approach

Mass Balance Approach

Mass balance involves mixing virgin fossil and renewable or circular raw materials into existing systems and production processes. The renewable amount is then allocated mathematically to specific products and is certified by a neutral third party to verify the use of renewable or circular resources across all stages of production. Mass balance is a way to keep track of the renewable or circular quantities throughout the process and to allocate them to specific products. It allows for large-scale production and enables cost-effective solutions that meet more stringent environmental and sustainability targets.

Mass Balance allows for instant CO2 reduction in existing plants.
Giving green drop-in solutions to our customers at the best possible price.
