SCS Standards Releases Two New Modules to SCS-115 Standard for Product Carbon Intensity and Reduction for Chemicals and Co-Products
EMERYVILLE, Calif., March 28, 2025 /3BL/ - SCS Standards is pleased to announce the publication of two new modules to the SCS-115 Certification Standard for Product Carbon Intensity and Reduction for Chemicals and Co-products.
The new modules expand the standard to cover requirements pertaining to biofeedstock and recycled content, as well as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). 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. Published modules now include:
- Module A: Renewable Electricity
- Module B: Biofeedstock and Recycled Content
- Module C: Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage
The standard is modular, allowing for different decarbonization levers. SCS-115 Modules B and C, the second and third of five planned modules, should be read in tandem with the core SCS-115 standard. Additional planned modules include:
- Module D: Renewable Energy
- Module E: Asset Efficiency Improvement
