AFYREN Partners with Sphera to Conduct and Update Environmental Assessment of AFYREN’s Biobased Organic Acids
AFYREN, a European pioneer in green tech, is pleased to announce a significant improvement in the environmental assessment of its products, along with a roadmap for future plans to measure the impact of its activities.
Measurement of the footprint is a crucial part of this effort, which is why AFYREN partnered three years ago with Sphera, a global leader in sustainability consulting. SPHERA conducted the first environmental study of AFYREN’s products through “cradle-to-gate” Life Cycle Analysis* for the 2018-2019 period, based on pre-industrial data.
The latest LCA update, using data from 2020, gives a more complete environmental assessment of the future biorefinery under construction in Carling-Saint-Avold. It shows that AFYREN’s biobased acids have on average a carbon footprint 81% lower than equivalent petroleum-based products.
