● INVISTA is committed to the development and application of nitrous oxide (N2O) elimination technology and has accumulated decades of experience. At present, INVISTA has reached cooperation with three local Chinese manufacturers and authorized the use of this nitrous oxide (N2O) elimination technology.
● The licensed nitrous oxide (N2O) elimination technology will be used in the production of adipic acid (AA), an important raw material for automotive nylon 6,6.
● The authorized technology will be deployed within the next few years and is expected to reduce emissions by approximately 30 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per year.
On December 21, 2023, as an industry leader in the nylon 6,6 value chain, INVISTA has authorized the use of its nitrous oxide (N2O) elimination technology to three Chinese adipic acid (AA) manufacturers to assist the supply of automotive raw materials chain to achieve emission reductions.
Adipic acid (AA) is a key raw material in the production of nylon 6,6, which is widely used in automobile and auto parts manufacturing. INVISTA's nitrous oxide elimination technology can effectively reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions during the production of adipic acid (AA). In the next few years, after the three adipic acid manufacturers gradually complete the deployment of this technology, they are expected to reduce emissions by approximately 30 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent (CO2e) per year.
For more than two decades, INVISTA has led the development of nitrous oxide elimination technology worldwide. Since the late 1990s, INVISTA has deployed and improved emission reduction technologies at multiple legacy and existing adipic acid (AA) production facilities. The three Chinese manufacturers that have obtained the authorization this time will also incorporate this technology into the design of adipic acid production facilities.
Francis, President and CEO of INVISTA Murphy said: "INVISTA's nitrous oxide (N2O) elimination technology helps our customers achieve their emission reduction goals. Currently, many industries, mainly automotive, are paying attention to emissions issues in production operations and supply chains. .Factories using INVISTA's authorized technology can reduce emissions by approximately 30 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per year, which will help promote significant emission reductions in upstream raw material production.
INVISTA has extensive experience in nitrous oxide (N2O) emission reduction. This time assisting Chinese partners in reducing emissions also reflects INVISTA's continuous optimization of the process of providing raw materials for key application areas of nylon 6,6. "
Thanks to its good comprehensive mechanical, chemical resistance and thermal material properties, nylon 6,6 is an ideal thermoplastic material to replace metal materials in automobile and auto parts applications. During the production process of adipic acid (AA), the raw material of nylon 6,6, a large amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) will be released, which requires modern technology to reduce emissions.
Li Xiaoxing, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Henan Shenma Nylon Chemical Co., Ltd., said: "As a strategic partner of Invista, Nylon Chemical Company has been committed to sustainable development, improving its own competitiveness while meeting the needs of users. We thank Invista The support provided in the licensing of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission reduction technology will help promote greenhouse gas emission reduction work and jointly bring high-quality products to the market."
As China's automotive industry grows, so does the production of adipic acid (AA) used in the production of nylon 6,6. Against this background, INVISTA's authorization of nitrous oxide (N2O) elimination technology is expected to promote significant progress in the emission reduction process in China and even globally.
