Chemours Co.

Chemours, together with DuPont de Nemours and Corteva, agreed to a $455 million settlement with North Carolina and eleven municipalities to resolve PFAS lawsuits. Chemours’ 50% share has a present value of about $180 million and is covered by existing reserves. In addition, a $50 million trust payment that would have been due in September 2026 is no longer required, and the company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC. The news drove a premarket rally in the stock and reduced perceived risk for investors. » Mais em de.investing.com

A coalition of 17 environmental groups urged the EPA to reject Chemours’ application to fast-track Opteon 2P50 for datacentre cooling, saying the company downplays the compound’s toxicity and climate impacts. The groups allege flawed science and missing toxicological data in Chemours’ submission, including reliance on an industry-linked committee and rat studies that understate human risk. They warn approval could increase PFAS pollution, enable wider industrial and consumer use, and prompt legal challenges if the EPA sidesteps statutory health-risk assessments. » Mais em theguardian.com
