How CNH Is Giving More Power to Methane

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

CNH’s New Holland T6 Methane Power tractor is helping a Norwegian company cut its use of polluting vehicles without compromising on power.

This year’s Nordic World Ski Championships, in the beautiful city of Trondheim in central Norway, was disrupted by sleet, rain and slush. Huge quantities of artificial snow saved the day, but the unusually warm mid-winter weather was a stark reminder that efforts to reduce carbon emissions, which contribute to global warming, are much needed.

One initiative by Trondheim City Council is to insist its contractors increase their use of non-polluting vehicles, with a target of 60% of operating hours by 2035. That has encouraged Graver, an earthworks specialist, house builder and Trondheim Council contractor, to invest in four New Holland T6 Methane Power tractors.

“We use methane-powered tractors in our contract work with the council to sweep roads and for clearing snow,” explains Svein Tore Sæther, Chief Executive of Graver. “They were also used up at the ski championships this year, clearing snow from car parks. They’re very efficient.”

Graver took possession of its first methane tractor in November 2022, just as winter was setting in, adding three more shortly after. To date, its fleet of four have clocked up more than nine thousand hours of service – saving some 314 tons of CO2 emissions. They have proved virtually trouble-free compared to traditional tractors.

“They’re really reliable and we’ve actually been able to use them for longer than the contract stipulates. I think we’re up to 80% of total hours. And the drivers like them. They’re responsive, powerful and smooth,” says Sæther.

The T6 Methane Power was based on the diesel version and its output matches the 175 horsepower of the diesel model. According to Sæther, they cost about the same in terms of fuel-efficiency, service and maintenance. The only differences he can think of are that the methane-driven engine is slightly quieter than a diesel and the tank for the methane is attached to the front of the hood.

Advancing Dow’s Ambition: 2024 Progress Report

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Team Dow remains agile and focused on taking proactive actions to improve profitability in the midst of persistent macroeconomic challenges, while delivering value to our customers, shareholders, and society.

In 2024, we made meaningful progress to answer customer demands for sustainable products, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and drive circularity. Our high-performance culture enabled Team Dow to help advance the materials science industry and create stronger communities. Our best-in-class governance enhanced transparency and continued to foster a culture of integrity and alignment with shareholder interests.

Inside this report you will find examples of the many ways we continue to advance our ambition. Every day, Team Dow strives to deliver a sustainable future and create long-term value for all our stakeholders.

Here are a few highlights of our progress in 2024.

Protecting the climate

In 2024, we continued to implement our Decarbonize & Grow strategy and launched our Water & Nature strategy. Both are critical for long-term business growth.

  • We began construction on our Path2Zero project in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada. The project is expected to deliver attractive returns and become the world’s first net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives facility. To maintain financial flexibility and align with market realities, in April 2025 we announced the delay of construction until market conditions improve. We remain committed to the strategic rationale of this project and our long-term asset decarbonization strategy.
  • We replaced end-of-life energy assets at our site in Plaquemine, Louisiana, with new technologies that provide resilient and reliable steam and power supply to the site while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by >350 kilotons annually and reducing river water usage by 30%.
  • We launched our next-generation Water & Nature strategy, designed to help build water resilience for our sites and the surrounding communities, conserve habitat in key ecosystems, and positively impact nature throughout the value chain.
  • We engaged customers on ways we can help them meet their Scope 3 emissions reduction targets with low-carbon-emissions products enabled by our decarbonization efforts, and introduced comprehensive GHG accounting for Dow, based on the Carbon Footprint Ledger approach.

Learn more about how we help protect the climate

Advancing a circular economy and safer materials

Our capital-efficient approach with industry-leading partnerships is expanding our portfolio of high-value, sustainable products that meet customer demand.

  • We accelerated progress toward our Transform the Waste goal by acquiring Circulus, a U.S.-based mechanical recycler. This will add a capacity of 50,000 metric tons of recycled materials annually. It enables Dow to provide customers with high-performance circular resins for a wide range of applications in the industrial, consumer and transportation markets.
  • We grew our circular product portfolio by adding new applications, such as new grades of REVOLOOP™ Recycled Plastics Resins, and expanding bio-based and readily biodegradable MaizeCare™ Clarity Polymer for personal care products. These support a lower-carbon-emissions materials ecosystem and help our customers address their sustainability goals.

Cultivating a thriving team and communities

We continue to advance a culture that enables our people, our Company, and our communities to grow and thrive.

Accountability in Action

We conduct business according to Dow’s values while strengthening our governance practices to promote good decision-making and a culture of integrity to create long-term value for our shareholders.
