Sumitomo Chemical カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 Newlight Technologies Announce Joint Development Project to Create Automotive カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 Textile Materials Using a Carbon-Negative^*1Microbe-Produced Biomaterial Called AirCarbon^TM

May. 31, 2022

Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 U.S.-based Newlight Technologies, Inc. have started the joint development of polypropylene (PP) compounds^*2for use in automobiles カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 textile applications using a carbon-negative biomaterial produced by microorganisms from methane called AirCarbon^TM.

Methane is said to have a greenhouse effect approximately 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide, カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 its reduction is crucial to effectively curb global warming. The 26^thUnited Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021 launched an international framework aimed at reducing methane emissions.

The Sumiカジノ シークレット 出 金 時間mo Chemical Group, as a globally-operating chemical manufacturer, is advancing initiatives カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 on the two fronts of its self-imposedobligationto bring the Group's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions close to zero カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 itscontributionsto global GHG emissions reduction through the Group’s products カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 technologies. In particular, in the area of automotive materials, where high quality カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 lower environmental impact are required, Sumitomo Chemical manufactures カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 supplies high-performance PP compounds カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 products made from recycled materials for the world's leading car manufacturers.

Newlight Technologies is a company headquartered in California, the U.S., that has successfully developed the world's first commercialized biomaterial made from methane as a carbon source (product name: AirCarbon^TM) through its proprietary research utilizing methanotrophs^*3, microorganisms that exist in nature that metabolize methane. Third-party organizations^*4have certified that the carbon footprint of AirCarbon^TMis significantly negative when produced using renewable sources of energy for electric power. Newlight Technologies started the operation of the world’s first commercial-scale manufacturing plant for AirCarbon^TMin 2020, カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 has been supplying the biomaterial to a wide variety of customers.

In this joint development project, Newlight Technologies will develop new grades of AirCarbon^TMsuitable for use in automotive カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 in textile applications, sourcing methane emissions captured カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 recovered from coal mining, agricultural, カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 industrial operations as the starting point for its production process. Sumitomo Chemical, leveraging its resin design カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 processing technologies cultivated over many years, will develop new compounds made from resins developed by Newlight Technologies カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 PP, with the aim of creating materials for automotive bumpers カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 interiors with equivalent quality カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 lower environmental impact as compared with conventional PP compounds, as well as materials for textiles that can be dyed, which has been difficult with conventional PP compounds but which can be improved through the use of AirCarbon^TM. Sumitomo Chemical カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 Newlight Technologies will work together to contribute to creating a carbon-neutral society by providing various industries with products created through the combination of each other's technologies.

Sumitomo Chemical will continue to actively promote open innovation with a range of stakeholders カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 accelerate the development of new products カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 technologies that help resolve societal problems.

Noriaki Takeshita, Representative Director カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 Senior Managing Executive Officer, Sumitomo Chemical:
“Our PP compounding business is actively promoting the use of recycled PP カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 contribute カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 building a circular economy. By leveraging AirCarbon^TMfrom Newlight Technologies, we will provide carbon-negative PP compounds カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 our cusカジノ シークレット 出 金 時間mers.”

Mark Herrema, Chief Executive Officer, Newlight Technologies:
“The mission of AirCarbon^TMis using nature-based solutions to create decarbonization at scale, カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 our work with Sumitomo helps us move closer to that goal. We are excited to team up with Sumitomo カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 look forward to seeing applications on the market that help automotive partners meet their carbon reduction goals.”

*1 Being negative in terms of the product carbon footprint, or the total GHG emissions throughout the product life cycle including raw material procurement, transportation カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 manufacturing (“cradle to gate”)
*2 Materials made by mixing PP with such materials as synthetic rubber, glass fibers カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 inorganic fillers to enhance functionality, rigidity カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 other properties
*3 Microorganisms that grow using carbon in methane as their source of energy
*4 The environmental consultants SCS Global Services カジノ シークレット 出 金 時間 Carbon Trust
