Title: LyondellBasell is reducing air emissions with sustainability program

NOX is a by-product of combustion and is generated while burning fuels to produce heat, steam and electricity. Boilers and furnaces in the chemical and refining operations are the source of most of NOX emissions. Since 2010, we have made significant progress, reducing NOX emissions by over 1,500 metric tons—which is equivalent to taking 185,000 cars off the road for a year. This was achieved by installing more advanced clean-burning technologies at our sites. However, in 2017 our NOX emissions increased by 523 metric tons due to restart of operations at our sites in Morris, Illinois, in the U.S., and Berre l’Etang in France following 2016 maintenance turnarounds, as well as the expansion of production capacity in Corpus Christi, Texas, in the U.S.
