Celanese Expands Automotive Reach as Aisan Chooses CO2-Based POM
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Celanese's CO2-based POM was selected by Aisan for fuel pump modules for a North American automaker.
CE's POM ECO-C offers lower carbon footprint and high circular content without process changes.
Celanese's CCU platform uses captured CO2 to supply lower-carbon materials across businesses.
Celanese Corporation's (CE - Free Report) polyacetal resin (POM) produced from captured CO2 has been selected by Aisan Industry Kentucky, LLC for fuel pump modules supplied to a North American automaker. Aisan Industry Kentucky is a subsidiary of Japan-based Aisan Industry Co., Ltd. The move reflects the growing use of Celanese's Carbon Capture and Utilization (“CCU”) POM in automotive applications.
Celanese converts captured CO2 into high-performance POM polymer through its CCU technology. The resulting POM ECO-C material has a lower carbon footprint and contains a high level of circular content. The material is designed as a drop-in option, allowing manufacturers to adopt more sustainable materials without changing existing designs or production processes while maintaining performance standards.
By using POM ECO-C, Aisan can offer fuel pump modules with improved sustainability while preserving the performance and quality expected in automotive applications. The material also helps automakers work toward sustainability goals by offering a practical solution that can be adopted without modifying existing manufacturing processes.
Celanese continues to develop materials and technologies that reduce environmental impact and support progress toward carbon-neutral manufacturing. Its mass-balance-based CCU platform supplies low-carbon feedstocks for ECO-C products across the company’s Acetyl Chain and Engineered Materials businesses.
The platform supports both ends of Celanese’s value chain while helping customers access lower-carbon material options. Through its CCU technology, the company uses captured CO2 to produce high-performance materials for customers seeking lower-carbon and more sustainable alternatives.
CE shares have lost 17.3% over the past year compared with the industry’s 0.9% loss.
