Notably, it has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 5% in the Gas Processing segment and by 15% in the Petrochemicals segment ahead of schedule. In addition, the company plans to transition to 100% renewable energy at its SIBUR-PETF production site, making the facility carbon-neutral by 2025. <\/p>\n<p> To date, the company has completed eight climate initiatives at its plants, resulting in a total reduction of 10.8 million tonnes of CO\u2082-equivalent emissions over the last decade and generating over 3.3 million verified carbon credits that are available for trading in both Russian and international markets. <\/p>\n<p> SIBUR has already completed no fewer than 15 carbon credit transactions, enabling its customers and partners to reduce or fully offset the carbon footprint of their operations, products or events. <\/p>\n<p> One source of SIBUR&#8217;s carbon credits stems from forestry-based climate initiatives. For example, the company completed a large-scale programme this year to plant 5 million trees to capture CO<sub>2<\/sub> in its regions of operations. <\/p>\n<p> Future initiatives under consideration include the re-watering of bogs at former peat extraction sites in order to prevent forest fires and restore wetlands, which are natural CO<sub>2<\/sub> sinks. <\/p>\n<p> SIBUR also plans to offset the Russian delegation&#8217;s COP29 carbon footprint, making it the first carbon-neutral delegation in the conference&#8217;s history. The offset will be achieved using carbon credits generated from a climate initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency at SIBUR-Neftekhim. The credits will be debited from the company&#8217;s account in the Russian Carbon Units Registry. <\/p>\n<p> The carbon footprint will be calculated by Kept, and T\u00dcV AUSTRIA Standards &amp; Compliance will verify the carbon-neutrality statement. <br \/>Hashtag: #SIBUR<\/p>\n<p>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/track.media-outreach.com\/index.php\/WebView\/340826\/118699\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- wp:html --><\/p>\n<p>MOSCOW, RUSSIA &#8211;  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/\">Media OutReach Newswire<\/a> &#8211; 13 November 2024 &#8211; SIBUR, Russia&#8217;s largest producer of polymers and rubber, participated in the business programme at the UN&#8217;s Climate Change Conference (COP29), which is taking place in Azerbaijan, where it shared its experience in incorporating high-tech solutions, implementing climate projects and trading carbon credits, dealing with ecosystem risks and developing a circular economy. <\/p>\n<p> During a discussion at Russia&#8217;s COP29 pavilion, SIBUR representatives highlighted that in 2019 the company was one of the first in Russia to adopt a sustainability strategy. <\/p>\n<p> The company is on track to meet the targets set out in the strategy through the end of 2024.
