Ingevity Corporation (NYSE:NGVT, Financial) today announced that a study conducted by consulting firm ERM, London, U.K., has determined that the use of Ingevity’s Nuchar® activated carbon to reduce or eliminate gasoline vapor emissions offsets the volume of greenhouse gases (GHG) generated in its manufacture, as well as the manufacture of the canister that contains the carbon, by a factor of 10. ERM is a leading global provider of environmental, health, safety, risk, social consulting services and sustainability related services, and relied on an approach consistent with ISO 14040 principles to conduct this GHG life cycle assessment.
