PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of January 2022’ from all over the world. Right from the development of Europe’s most sustainable cracker to Linde starting up the world’s first plant for extracting hydrogen from natural gas pipelines and Microsoft investing 50-million-dollars for building the world’s first alcohol-to-jet SAF plant, find out all the projects making headlines here.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is characterised by its high availability at competitive conditions and a lower emission burden compared to the combustion of coal and oil. As it is highly flammable, explosion protection must be guaranteed throughout the entire value chain. R. Stahl supports this sector with explosion-protected products and systems for all process steps from natural gas extraction to liquefaction and transport, all the way through to reconversion and supply.

Digital technology is one of the most vital segments that will change the way manufacturing takes place forever. Read on to find out the latest trends of this gigantic revolution.
