SCS Standards Releases SCS-115 Module C for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage for Public Review

December 5, 2024

SCS Standards is pleased to announce public review of the SCS-115 Certification Standard for Product Carbon Intensity and Reduction for Chemicals and Co-products, Module C.   The new module expands the standard to cover requirements pertaining to carbon capture, utilization, and storage. Introduced in April 2024, SCS-115 provides a methodology for third-party certification of the greenhouse gas intensity and reduction in carbon dioxide equivalents of a chemical material. 

The standard is modular, allowing for different decarbonization levers. Draft SCS-115 Module C, the third of five planned modules, should be read in tandem with the core SCS-115 standard. 

To learn more about SCS-115 and draft Module C, please join our complimentary webinar “Lower Carbon Products and Packaging Claims: A Certification Standard for Decarbonizing the Chemicals Industry”on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. ET (8:00 a.m. PT, 5:00 p.m. CET).  Register here to learn about:

• The core standard’s framework and baseline calculation methodology 
• The five decarbonization levers supported by the standard
• Types of products and co-products that can benefit from certification 
• Mass balance approach to carbon footprint reduction 
• Product intensity and reduction claims that can be made to showcase product decarbonization

The public is welcome to comment on SCS-115 Module C, which covers carbon capture, utilization, and storage, until January 24, 2025. To request a copy of the draft and submit comments, please reach out to [email protected], or visit our website here.
