Firestone Contributes to Dow-IOC Carbon Partnership
Marking the first carbon mitigation project in North America under the Official Carbon Partnership between Dow and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Dow (NYSE: DOW) announced today its collaboration with Firestone Building Products (Firestone), a subsidiary of Bridgestone and a leading manufacturer of commercial building performance solutions.
The collaboration is supporting the creation of an energy modeling tool to accurately describe reductions in cost, energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of commercial structures that use innovative polyurethane roofing insulation from Firestone Building Products. This insulation, developed by Firestone and enabled by Dow’s polyurethane raw materials, addresses low-temperature thermal drift without compromising the other performance metrics.
