EMERYVILLE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / SCS Standards and Assurance Systems is pleased to announce that the established SCS-115 Certification Standard for Product Carbon Intensity and Reduction for Chemicals and Co-products has been expanded to include two new modules that cover requirements pertaining to renewable energy (Module D) and asset efficiency improvement (Module E). These modules were created with technical feedback from industry experts, including RMI and Shell Chemical, among other Standard Development Committee members.
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. SCS-115 is modular, allowing for different decarbonization levers. SCS-115 Modules D and E should be read in tandem with the core SCS-115 standard.
