As a leading specialty chemicals company, Evonik is committed to address these challenges by managing our operation in a responsible way and provide products and solutions that help our customers to realize sustainable development.

In the company, Evonik strengthens the control of CO₂emissions via business operation and management. Some years ago, we established the Operational Excellence team to identify measures for continuous and sustained productivity improvement, as well as the energy efficiency. The aim is to ensure that every kWh of electricity, and every kg of raw materials are not wasted. Now, the team has already inspected 23 sites in Germany and worldwide, from which the management of energy efficiency at each site is analyzed. In addition, more than 200 related optimization projects were implemented timely. Through these projects, the factory will be able to save an average of 5 to 26 percent energy, and reduce CO₂ emissions among the Group.

On the other hand, transforming advanced chemical technology into energy saving products and processes is the greatest contribution Evonik can make for customers, community and low carbon economy. Therefore, Evonik offers innovative products and solutions to address the challenges facing the world. We are committed to make continuous contribution to low carbon economy and society in China.

Animal Feed
Like vitamins, amino acids are essential to human and animal life because all proteins are built up from them. Evonik is the only company in the world to produce and market the four most important amino acids for the advanced animal nutrition: DL-Methionine, Biolys® (L-Lysine), L-Threonine, and L-Tryptophan. Evonik’s amino acid can be added to conventional animal feed, thus making a significant contribution to the animal feed industry. For more information
