Altair Chemical's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Altair Chemical reported its carbon emissions data, although specific figures for total emissions in kg CO2e were not disclosed. The company operates with a focus on reducing its carbon footprint, particularly in the context of its Paramount Refinery, which has a carbon intensity of approximately 0.0605 kg CO2e per megajoule for its products derived from animal origins. Currently, Altair Chemical has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This indicates a potential area for growth in their climate strategy, as many companies in the chemical industry are increasingly setting ambitious targets to mitigate their environmental impact. As a company headquartered in Paraguay (PY), Altair Chemical is positioned within a global industry that is under pressure to enhance sustainability practices and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes. The lack of detailed emissions data and formal reduction commitments suggests that Altair Chemical may need to develop a more robust climate action plan to align with industry standards and expectations.
