Saint-Gobain's largest Life Sciences facility in North America saves nearly 11,000 tons of CO2 through the modernization of its chilled water system MALVERN, PA / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / With the modernization of its chilled water system, Saint-Gobain Life Sciences has saved nearly 11,000 tons of CO2 emissions and gained key energy savings at its plant in Beaverton, Michigan. An essential component to operations of the site, the modernization of the chilled water system has resulted in a nearly 20% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the time period directly before the project was complete. Celebrating its 30 th anniversary this year and with Saint-Gobain's global goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the Beaverton facility undertook a complex engineering analysis looking at system capacity, process rate and quality improvements at the site. This analysis led the facility to install two 110-ton chillers, a pump house and a piping system, resulting in a 50% increase in water cooling capacity. "Continuous efforts to make our production processes more efficient and sustainable are key in helping us reach our sustainability goals, especially achieving net-zero carbon by 2050," said Sung Yu, CEO of Saint-Gobain Life Sciences. "I want to sincerely thank and congratulate our team in Beaverton for putting their skills and innovative minds to the service of this project, which will set an example for other locations throughout North America."
