Covestro Baytown Reaches
Major Environmental Benchmark
A major environmental milestone has been reached at the Covestro plant in Baytown, where a long-running project continues to reduce harmful emissions on a massive scale.
According to company officials, Covestro’s partnership with ClimeCo and LSB Industries has now prevented the release of more than 10 million metric tons of greenhouse gases since 2010. The system captures and destroys nitrous oxide (N₂O) — a “super pollutant” that’s 273 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere.
Covestro Baytown Site Manager Victor Ortega said the project not only supports global sustainability goals but also improves local air quality. The reductions are independently verified through the Climate Action Reserve, ensuring accuracy and transparency.
In total, the Baytown project has neutralized over 36,000 metric tons of nitrous oxide, roughly the same environmental benefit as taking 2.3 million gasoline-powered cars off the road for a year. Company leaders say they plan to build on the success of this 15-year effort by exploring new ways to further reduce emissions.
