How did Henkel achieve carbon-neutral production at its Kurkumbh, India site?

Henkel achieved carbon-neutral production at its Kurkumbh, India site by replacing furnace oil–based thermic fluid heaters with high-efficiency electric systems, upgrading the energy infrastructure—including optimizing heat loads and installing advanced high-efficiency heat exchangers—and investing substantially in electrical capacity to enable full electrification; combined with a transition to 100% renewable electricity, these measures eliminated both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, amounting to approximately 11,300 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent.

What specific change enabled carbon-neutral production at Henkel’s Gebkim, Turkey plant?

At its Gebkim plant in Turkey, Henkel achieved carbon neutrality by fully replacing a natural gas–fired boiler with a high-efficiency electric boiler system, eliminating direct fossil fuel use and reducing Scope 1 emissions to zero, resulting in an annual reduction of approximately 956 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent.
