Certified low carbon caustic soda
Nobian’s low carbon caustic soda will be used in the production of AnQore’s sodium cyanide, the world’s first sustainable sodium cyanide made from bio-circular raw materials. Nobian’s ISCC PLUS certified caustic soda is produced at its Botlek site in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, using 100% renewable energy from wind and solar. The first volumes of low carbon caustic soda will be supplied to AnQore from June 2024.
