Energy from timber instead of natural gas

Energy from timber instead of natural gas

EMS-CHEMIE AG, and especially the business area Performance Polymers, believe in renewable energy and have been successful in achieving a sustainable reduction in CO2 emissions of more than 80 % at the production site in Domat/Ems.

Domat/Ems is idyllically located in the Swiss canton Grisons and is perhaps a rather unusual location for a chemical facility. However, for EMS-CHEMIE AG as manufacturer of polyamide speciality products, Domat/Ems is the right location from both an economical and ecological point of view.

Previously, process steam necessary for manufacturing was generated primarily using the fossil fuel natural gas. Compared to other energy sources, this was already a environmentally friendly and energy efficient solution.
