CO2 reduction: SoftAcid vs formic acid
Replacing pure formic acid with SoftAcid V can reduce a product's GWP total CO₂ footprint by up to 47%.
The environmental performance of SoftAcid V is based on the Environmental ProductDeclaration (EPD) developed by NORSUS for lignosulfonate produced at Borregaard's biorefinery.
A cradle-to-gate comparison of the climate change contribution (Global Warming Potential, CO₂ equivalents), presented as a relative impact.
SoftAcid V combines lignosulfonate with formic acid, and data for formic acid were sourced from Ecoinvent v. 3.12. The EPD and underlying life cycle assessment (LCA) were developed in accordance with ISO 14040:2006 and ISO 14044:2006.
