LCA finds EMN high-purity manganese products have lower carbon footprint than incumbent industry

Green Car Congress

Highlights of the results include: The GWP of HPEMM produced at Chvaletice, using 100% renewable power, is 64% lower than the estimated GWP of HPEMM produced by the incumbent industry. The main contributors to the estimated carbon footprint of HPEMM produced in China are the embodied emissions from the electricity grid mix.
