We have been closely following the review of the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and would like to express our gratitude to the European Commission for their diligent efforts in consulting with industry. We support the work of the DG-ENV and JRC on carbon modelling and want to acknowledge the challenges in addressing the complexity of the chemical sector and its numerous value chains, as well as meeting the requirements of other sectors. We recognize the significant progress made in assessing carbon flows and their impact on the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions within the EU’s PEF. It is essential for providing transparency along value chains regarding the CO2 contribution of different carbon sources and for GHG reduction strategies. This transparency is crucial in promoting the market for biobased raw materials as part of the EU’s goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
