With GS Caltex, LG Chem will kickstart establishing a pilot plant to build white bio ecosystem and commercialize bio raw materials. On 28 Jul 2022, LG Chem's CEO Hak Cheol Shin, GS Caltex's CEO Se-hong Heo, Yeosu-si's mayor Ki Myung Cheong, and R&D personnel from both companies attended the groundbreaking ceremony at GS Caltex's Yeosu plant. The upcoming pilot plant will produce prototypes of 3HP (3-Hydroxypropionic acid), a key material for eco-friendly materials such as biodegradable plastics. 3HP is a biomaterial produced through an eco-friendly fermentation process, and is used as a base material for acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and biodegradable materials. From personal hygiene products to lightweight materials for electric vehicles, 3HP is considered to be highly applicable and expandable. In Nov 2021, the two companies signed a joint development agreement (JDA) to develop 3HP's mass production technology and produce prototypes. By 2023, both companies plan to establish a 3HP pilot plant at GS Caltex's Yeosu plant and produce prototypes. Afterwards, the companies will accelerate its market entry into biodegradable materials and various bioplastics through commercialization. The construction of the pilot plant is meaningful in that LG Chem's fermentation source technology and GS Caltex's separation and purification process scale-up technology will create synergistic effects in kickstarting high value-added eco-friendly biochemical business. On a global scale, there were attempts to develop 3HP technology, but there have not been cases of commercialization. In addition to 3HP, LG Chem and GS Caltex signed an MOU to develop 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) technology, which is used as an eco-friendly raw material to manufacture biodegradables and polyurethane. Through the agreement, the two companies will collaborate in the overall white bio sector and will engage in active discussions on measures to realize a sustainable bio ecosystem. Furthermore, Yeosu-si, LG Chem, and GS Caltex signed a trilateral MOU for the development of Korea's white bio industry and vitalization of carbon neutrality as well as circular economy. Through the agreement, Yeosu-si pledged to provide full-fledged administrative support for the demonstration project, and the two companies promised to prioritize Yeosu-si as a site for new factory construction in future commercialization efforts. In the meantime, LG Chem has the exclusive ownership over the world's best 3HP fermentation technology. In Oct 2020, the company succeeded in developing PLH(Poly Lactate 3-Hydroxypropionate), the world's first biodegradable new material that is capable of realizing mechanical properties equivalent to synthetic resins. In Jul 2019, LG Chem succeeded in its commercial production of eco-friendly PCR white ABS for the first time in the world. The company plans to commercialize Polybutylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate (PBAT) and Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) by 2024 and 2025, respectively. Furthermore, LG Chem plans to fulfil a decarbonization strategy in its overall supply chain through the efforts such as 100% renewable energy conversion, LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) performance, management of responsible resource procurement policy, and development of carbon dioxide conversion technology, aiming to achieve 'Net Zero by 2050'.

Ingevity Corporation announced on 21 Apr 2022 that a study conducted by consulting firm Environmental Resources Management (ERM), London, UK, has determined the carbon negative properties of its lignin-based Polyfon H dispersant completely offset the volume of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with its manufacture, resulting in a carbon footprint 122% lower than fossil carbon-based alternatives and positively impacting climate change. Used mainly as a dispersant in the agriculture industry for a diverse set of crop protection formulations including biological products, Polyfon is created from lignin, a renewable by-product of the kraft paper-making industry. According to the ERM study, the 2.2 tonnes (MT) of biogenic carbon dioxide - carbon pulled from the atmosphere and stored as carbon in the pine tree during tree growth - outbalance the 1.46 MT of carbon dioxide released with the energy use, materials, packaging and wastes associated with Polyfon manufacture, resulting in a negative carbon footprint, or a positive benefit to climate change. ERM's study notes that after application to crops, Polyfon's innate biogenic carbon is expected to remain in the soil for at least a 100-year timeframe, storing the carbon in the soil instead of releasing it to the atmosphere to impact climate change.
