We wanted to share a new study that strengthens the case for leveraging America’s success in low-emissions manufacturing. Greetings, We wanted to share a new study that strengthens the case for leveraging America’s success in low-emissions manufacturing. The report, “The U.S. Carbon Advantage in Chemicals Manufacturing,” found that U.S. chemicals producers are 10-40% more carbon efficient than the global average across five bulk chemicals studied. These findings highlight a major opportunity for the climate—and U.S. manufacturers. Today, the global chemicals industry is the third largest industrial source of direct carbon emissions, and its products are among the most heavily traded. Trade policies that reward carbon efficiency would provide incentives for producers across the globe to outcompete one another on the basis of environmental performance and drive down global emissions. At an event earlier today, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) discussed the upside of such policies for U.S. jobs and industry with Council CEO Greg Bertelsen. Following the discussion, Catrina Rorke, the report’s author and the executive director of the Council’s Center for Climate and Trade, summarized the key findings. Then, Tony Will, president and chief executive officer of global chemicals manufacturer CF Industries, shared his perspective on how carbon efficient U.S. producers stand to gain. We invite you to read the report and listen to a recording of the event. All the best, The Climate Leadership Council Team Climate Leadership Council | 1900 M St, Washington, DC 20036 Unsubscribe
