Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant announces the opening of its new Beauty ColLABoration House near Los Angeles, California. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to revolutionize the way cosmetic formulations and concepts are developed, emphasizing direct collaboration with the specific needs from customers in this region.

Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its EnviCat N2O-S nitrous abatement catalyst is performing successfully at Sichuan Lutianhua's nitric acid plant and is projected to reduce annual emissions by 275 kilotons of CO2eq. Sichuan Lutianhua is one of the winners of Clariant's 2021-2022 global Climate Campaign, which offered a free load of the catalyst to nitric acid producers lacking N2O abatement technology. Located in Sichuan Province, China, the 135 KTA nitric acid plant started operating in 2009 with no N2O removal system in place.

Clariant has completed its transition to a fully per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-free additive portfolio as of December 2023, reaffirming its commitment to more sustainable and customer-focused innovation. As the world looks toward stricter regulations on PFAS substances, Clariant’s proactive measures demonstrate both foresight and a deep dedication to fostering safer, more responsible solutions for industries globally.

Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its MegaMax catalyst was selected for a China’s biomass gasification-to-green methanol project. The plant will use a combination of farm waste and wind power to produce up to 250,000 tons per annum of green methanol in two phases by 2027. Construction of the first plant phase began in March 2024 and is expected to start producing green methanol in the first half of 2025 as China’s first commercialized biomass gasification-to-green methanol plant.

Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced the successful installation of its EnviCat N2O-S catalyst at the nitric acid plant of Hengli Petrochemical. EnviCat N2O-S was installed as part of Clariant’s global Climate Campaign, which offered a free load of the N2O removal catalyst to nitric acid producers with no abatement technology. One of the winners of the campaign is Hengli which operates a 300,000 metric ton per annum nitric acid plant in Dalian, China. With the successful installation of the catalyst in June 2024, the plant is projected to reduce its N2O emissions by 690,000 tons of CO2eq annually.
