The report also details Chemours’ Trusted Chemistry vision in action with features on continued investment in sustainable technologies and circularity, including:
- Liquid cooling solutions for data centers, including two-phase immersion fluid, which can reduce cooling energy use by up to 90% and nearly eliminate cooling-related water consumption when compared to traditional air-cooling technologies.
- Advanced binders that enable dry electrode manufacturing for electric vehicle (EV) batteries; a process that can reduce manufacturing footprint by 75%, energy consumption by approximately 47%, and eliminate the need for hazardous solvent use and recovery.
- Sharpening our focus on helping to build a more circular economy by implementing circularity principles in our operations and with partners, as part of our broader commitment to make the most of critical resources, prevent waste, take climate action, and support a thriving society.
