BRB, a leading global lube oil additives and specialty chemicals manufacturer, has met the challenging goal of reducing greenhouse emissions from its operations to zero, and will hence report zero for scope 1&2 for 2025.

This has been achieved by shifting to renewable energy for both electricity and heat, as well as replacing all forklifts with electrical. Energy consumption in heating and electricity are the two largest factors affecting scope 1&2. In addition, the site has reduced its energy consumption by re-using heat in the system for pre-heating and temperature conditioning of working area and by replacing all lighting with LED.

“I am very proud that we have a site that has eliminated greenhouse gas emissions from its production, including from purchased energy,” said Roger Dohmen, Vice President of BRB Lube oil Additives & Chemicals.

“In addition, we are also working intensively to reduce supply chain emissions (Scope 3) by securing raw materials based on renewable and recycled feedstock, and with that support our customers and value chains in their sustainable ambitions. Thereby I believe that our commitment has far-reaching impact to all the industries we serve.”

BRB Lube oil Additives & Chemicals has already been looking into further measures to reduce its environmental footprint, encompassing other sites and facilities both within its own fences and beyond, in fulfillment of its commitment to be THE choice of partner for customers in their journey towards a sustainable future.

 BRB International is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysia’s PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG), and its Lube oil Additives & Chemicals forms an integral part of PCG’ Specialty Chemicals division.
