Chemours has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy for achieving its emissions reduction goal as part of the Better Climate Challenge. The company has reduced scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 58% through decarbonization efforts across its U.S. operations. This achievement aligns with Chemours' 2030 Sustainability Goals and its participation in the DOE's Better Climate Challenge and Better Plants Challenge.

Dr. Amber Wellman, Chemours' Chief Sustainability Officer, expressed pride in surpassing the goal ahead of schedule and emphasized the company's commitment to sustainability. The DOE's Better Buildings Initiative, which includes these challenges, has helped partners save nearly $22 billion in energy costs and avoid over 220 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Chemours is recognized as a market leader in setting portfolio-wide emissions reduction goals and sharing strategies with others.

Chemours is playing a important role in advancing the electric vehicle (EV) revolution through innovative chemistry solutions. The company's products enhance EV performance, sustainability, and manufacturing efficiency:

1. Advanced fluoropolymers in battery production accelerate manufacturing and eliminate hazardous solvents.

2. High-performing fluoroelastomers and fluoropolymers improve durability in critical parts like cables, seals, and gaskets.

3. Low global warming potential fluorinated gases enable cabin comfort, battery cooling, and extended driving ranges.

4. Advanced lubricants and fluoropolymers reduce vibration and noise, enhancing ride quality.

Chemours' Battery Innovation Center focuses on developing novel battery technologies to further improve EV performance and sustainability.

Chemours (NYSE: CC) has developed a low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant retrofit approach for the automotive aftermarket. This innovative solution will allow older vehicles to easily and cost-effectively transition from the legacy R-134a refrigerant to the climate-friendly Opteon™ YF (R-1234yf) refrigerant. The retrofit procedure is designed to be simple and safe for vehicle owners and service technicians.

Opteon™ YF, developed to replace R-134a in new mobile HVAC systems, is currently used in 250 million light-duty vehicles. By 2025, Chemours expects its Opteon™ portfolio to eliminate an estimated 325 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. This retrofit approach is a significant step in supporting global climate targets and regulations, especially considering the millions of vehicles still using R-134a.

Chemours, a global leader in performance chemistry, has released its 2023 Sustainability Report, showcasing progress in resource efficiency and circularity. A key highlight is the international F-gas Lifecycle Program launched by its Thermal & Specialized Solutions business. This initiative aims to advance the recovery, reclaim, and reuse of fluorinated gases across Chemours' product portfolios, including Opteon™, Freon™, and FM-200™.

The program supports Chemours' commitment to a circular economy and aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals. It also contributes to net zero objectives through emission reduction. Joe Martinko, President of Thermal & Specialized Solutions, emphasized the program's importance in reducing emissions throughout the product lifecycle. F-gases offer advantages over 'natural' alternatives, as they can be recovered, reclaimed, and reused across multiple applications, maximizing resource efficiency and minimizing waste.
