ESG Today writes that the two companies will receive the required captured carbon emissions and the e-methanol from Danish energy company European Energy, with deliveries starting sometime in 2024.

European Energy CEO Knud Erik Andersen said that "the use of plastic is an integrated part of the modern world, not only in our daily lives but also in industrial processes and equipment. This is relevant for all industries keen on transitioning away from fossil fuels."

Novo Nordisk experts said that the e-methanol will be used to reduce the carbon footprint of the company's medical applications, such as insulin pens. This is a step towards Nordisk's goals of reaching net-zero emissions across the value chain by 2045.

At the same time, LEGO Group officials are implementing a strategy aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of the company's products and packaging, replacing fossil-based materials with sustainable alternatives.

Prototypes of products from the company using e-methanol will be available in the coming years.

Nelleke van der Puil, Vice President of Materials at the LEGO Group, said that "as part of our commitment to building a sustainable future for children, we have committed to making our products from more sustainable materials. The project will give us our third sustainable material we’ve developed alongside bio-PE and prototype bricks made from recycled PET."
