Encina has made a revolutionary move by producing high purity aromatics entirely from end-of-life mixed plastics. The company aims to manufacture ISCC+ circular chemicals by making use of 450,000 tons of mixed plastic streams from landfills.

Technip Energies together with Monford Group has secured an EPCC contract to develop a green hydrogen plant – Yuri, phase O in Australia. Awarded by Yuri Operations, the project is expected to produce up to 640 tonnes of green hydrogen annually and will be used in the existing Yara Pilbara Ammonia Plant to produce green ammonia.

Rare-earth magnets are claimed to be strong permanent magnets made from alloys of rare-earth elements which produce significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types of magnets. Solvay has plan to develop a ‘rare earth magnet hub’ in Europe to cater to the fast-growing electric vehicles, wind power, and electronics markets.

The shipment from the UAE to Germany marks the first ever demonstration cargo of low-carbon ammonia between both the countries. Germany’s Aurubis, a leading global provider of non-ferrous metals will use the low-carbon ammonia as a feedstock in its wire rod plant in order to meet its decarbonization goals.
