Narrows facility becomes fifth site
enterprise-wide to reduce energy intensity by 10 percent within
five years
Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global chemical and specialty
materials company, today announced that its Narrows, Virginia
cellulose acetate tow manufacturing facility has been recognized by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for achieving the
ENERGY STAR® Challenge for Industry (the Challenge) in 2021.
The Challenge is a call-to-action to improve energy efficiency
of America’s manufacturers. By taking the Challenge, manufacturing
sites set a goal to reduce their energy intensity by 10 percent
within five years. Although the Challenge is a U.S.-centric
initiative, Celanese’s facilities outside the U.S. participate in
the Challenge as part of the Company’s commitment to lower
greenhouse gas emissions.
“As a result of energy-efficiency technologies and improvements,
the Narrows facility has reduced Scope 1 energy and Scope 2 GHG net
emissions by approximately 25,000 tCO2e annually from 2016-2020,”
said Jon Mortimer, Senior Vice President of Global Manufacturing
for Celanese. “Across our manufacturing facilities, we are finding
innovative ways to reduce energy intensity as we focus on a 10
percent energy intensity reduction goal by 2030. Narrows is our
fifth site enterprise-wide to achieve the Challenge recognition to
date. This significant milestone demonstrates Celanese’s commitment
to strong energy management practices that produce positive results
for the environment, our customers and our communities.”
The facility used a variety of energy-efficiency approaches
which yielded a reduction of their energy intensity by 10.1 percent
within five years.
Celanese, an ENERGY STAR® partner since 2014, has been
recognized by the U.S. EPA for its superior performance in energy
management and for outstanding contributions to protecting the
environment through energy efficiency. Celanese is proud of its
ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year designation in 2021 for the sixth
consecutive year, and the Sustained Excellence award for the fourth
consecutive year.
