Citic Heavy Industries was awarded a contract by Fujian Jianfu Cement to develop a green, smart cement factory in Yongan, Fujian, China. For this, the company used Bentley’s collaborative BIM technology to integrate 3D parametric design of the main equipment, perform construction simulation, and generate a full-process, green cement production plant with intelligent controls. Itwin Services were also used to establish a digital twin which helped to monitor the assets, thus, saving 2 million dollars in equipment maintenance costs.

Turning electricity into gas: a closer look at the key technology of the hydrogen revolution. Whether alkaline, PEM or high-temperature electrolysis, the oldest electrochemical process is to make the world of tomorrow possible. By 2021, projects with over 200 gigawatts of electrolysis capacity will be on the agenda. But what is behind these figures? What technologies are there, and where is the journey heading now?

Under an agreement between Cepsa and Fertiberia, both the companies will work together to develop a large-scale green hydrogen plant in Huelva, Spain. With this project, the parties aim to decarbonize their production processes in the region.

Nextchem has secured a new contract by Storengy to carry out an advanced basic engineering study for a biomethane project in France. The plant is claimed to be the first commercial project in the world of its kind to inject in the grid methane produced through pyro-gasification of waste wood.

Volpak, a Coesia company, is launching a new Enflex brand series for the pharmaceutical and healthcare market: Enflex PHS Series, which comes in different models depending on production needs. This machine range meets the specific requirements of an industry that is increasingly interested in flexible packaging, especially in the stick-pack format.

The green hydrogen cluster will be developed in the Valencia region of Spain in order to make the region a leader in green hydrogen production. The project will include production of green hydrogen at BP’s Castellón refinery.

Exxon Mobil has entered into an agreement with Bangchak Corporation to divest its interest in Esso Thailand. The deal includes the Sriracha Refinery, select distribution terminals, and a network of Esso-branded retail stations.

With a production of 1 billion cubic feet of hydrogen per day, Exxonmobil’s facility in Baytown, Texas, USA is expected to be the world’s largest low carbon hydrogen plant. The project will make use of Topsoe’s Syncor hydrogen technology to produce hydrogen as well as capture and store more than 98 % of its associated CO2 emissions.

Merck’s new plant will produce specialty gases and semiconductor materials for thin film and patterning solutions. The project is being developed in Kaohsiung, Taiwan to further support the company’s semiconductor solutions business which is one of its ‘Big 3’ growth drivers.

With the acquisition of a majority stake of 50.01 % in Renasci, Borealis will obtain access to chemically recycled feedstock as well as the Smart Chain Processing concept which will help the firm to achieve its circular goals.
