Carbon capture in action 

Dow is accelerating its decarbonization journey through initiatives that leverage our expertise and expanding portfolio of carbon capture and renewable hydrogen technologies.

In Fort Saskatchewan, Canada, we’re building the world’s first net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives facility that will be powered by innovative carbon capture technologies. The project will more than triple the site’s ethylene and polyethylene capacity and retrofit existing assets to zero emissions.
