DuPont Water Technologies Featured in Avoided-Emissions Use Case by World Business Council for Sustainable Development
DuPont Water Solutions has presented a case study using the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Avoided Emissions Guidance to measure carbon-avoiding solutions in the water sector. The study focuses on their FilmTec™ BW30 PRO-400 reverse osmosis elements, introduced in 2022, which operate at lower pressures than previous versions, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions for customers.
The analysis was conducted using DuPont's Sustainability Navigator, launched in September, which helps users compare different water treatment scenarios' impact on sustainability indicators. The calculations were validated by LRQA, a global assurance provider. DuPont Water Solutions was named Water Technology Company of the Year at the 2023 Global Water Awards.

DuPont Water Solutions hat eine Fallstudie vorgestellt, die die Leitlinien für vermiedene Emissionen des World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) verwendet, um Kohlenstoff-vermeidende Lösungen im Wassersektor zu messen. Die Studie konzentriert sich auf ihre FilmTec™ BW30 PRO-400 Umkehrosmose-Elemente, die 2022 eingeführt wurden und bei niedrigeren Drücken als frühere Versionen arbeiten, wodurch der Energieverbrauch und die Kohlenstoffemissionen für die Kunden reduziert werden.
Die Analyse wurde mit dem Sustainability Navigator von DuPont durchgeführt, der im September gestartet wurde und den Benutzern hilft, die Auswirkungen verschiedener Wasserbehandlungsszenarien auf Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren zu vergleichen. Die Berechnungen wurden von LRQA, einem globalen Prüfungsanbieter, validiert. DuPont Water Solutions wurde beim Global Water Awards 2023 zum Wassertechnologieunternehmen des Jahres ernannt.

Insights
The WBCSD case study featuring DuPont's FilmTec™ membranes demonstrates incremental progress in sustainability metrics but lacks immediate financial materiality. While the BW30 PRO-400 RO elements show improved energy efficiency and potential cost savings for customers, the article doesn't quantify specific revenue impacts or market penetration rates. The third-party validation from LRQA adds credibility to DuPont's sustainability claims, but without concrete financial figures or market share data, the direct impact on DuPont's business remains unclear.
The Water Technology Company of the Year award in 2023 and the new Sustainability Navigator tool indicate strong positioning in the water treatment sector, but these developments are more about brand building than immediate financial impact. The true value proposition lies in the long-term potential for market expansion as water scarcity and energy efficiency become increasingly critical global issues.
FilmTec™ membranes highlighted in WBCSD's avoided emissions use case pilot project
This recent case study, published by WBCSD, showcases how DuPont's commitment to advance the performance of its membranes, such as FilmTec™ BW30 PRO-400 reverse osmosis elements, supports the reduction of carbon emissions among their global customers.
Advanced FilmTec™ BW30 PRO-400 RO elements, introduced to the market in 2022, transform salty water sources into high-quality freshwater to secure water access for industrial, energy, or municipal users using lower operating pressures, as compared to the previous versions. As such, these advanced membranes require less energy to operate—leading to reduced carbon emissions and costs for users.
"By reducing the energy required to produce freshwater, DuPont's advanced membranes are helping our customers lower CO2 emissions and reduce cost," said Jeroen Bloemhard, Vice President and General Manager, DuPont Water Solutions. "We appreciate the leadership of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development to provide companies with a credible way to assess the decarbonizing impact of their solutions."
DuPont's case study is included in a collection of one-pagers which is part of WBCSD's avoided emissions use case pilot project. It is the result of a collaborative effort by WBCSD and its member companies in which the Avoided Emissions Guidance was tested with real-life use cases to understand the state of the art of low carbon solutions and its assessments.
CO2 emission savings in the case study were calculated using the DuPont Water Solutions Sustainability Navigator, which was launched in September. This digital tool helps enable users to compare how different potential water treatment scenarios impact sustainability indicators, including carbon emissions, chemicals used, wastewater produced, solid-waste generated, and footprint needed—with all calculations and indicators validated by a third-party verification performed by LRQA, a global assurance provider.
DuPont offers market-leading technologies to address a variety of challenges faced by water treatment municipalities, seawater desalination plants, and industrial water users, including the microelectronics industry, through a broad portfolio of membranes, resins and complete systems. The team is also innovating solutions that can help balance the world's growing water and energy demands, with products that help maximize the availability of electricity, lithium and green hydrogen.
In 2023, DuPont Water Solutions was named Water Technology Company of the Year, presented at the Global Water Awards, for innovating solutions to sustainably address the hardest global water challenges.
