Dow and Univar Solutions have entered a long-term agreement to expand the availability of the Decarbia low-carbon product line. These products serve various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial performance markets, utilizing Univar's global distribution network. The partnership focuses on providing third-party verified Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) certificates. This allows industrial customers to track and reduce their Scope 3 emissions with verifiable data, accelerating decarbonization across the chemical supply chain.

Dow is pushing its Decarbia line through Univar to hit more markets. It is mostly about helping downstream buyers lower their Scope 3 numbers using PCF certificates.

The real value here is the third party verification of the carbon footprint. Without that, these low carbon claims are just marketing. I want to see which reporting standards they are actually using for these certificates.

Interesting for the industrial side, but the cost premium for these low carbon alternatives usually determines if a plant actually switches. No mention of pricing here.

Exactly. Also, low carbon chemicals usually require massive amounts of renewable energy or hydrogen at the production site. Does Dow have the grid capacity to actually scale this, or is this just a small batch of products?
