Under a MOU signed between Haldor Topsoe and Shchekinoazot, both the companies will work together to reduce the carbon footprint of Shchekinoazot’s existing and future plants in the Tula region, Russia.

Haldor Topsoe’s demo plant will utilize its electrified steam methane reforming technology (eSMR) for producing sustainable methanol from biogas at a competitive cost as compared to other non-fossil fuels. Located at Aarhus University’s research facility in Foulum, Denmark, the unit is expected to have an annual capacity of 10,000l of CO2-neutral methanol from biogas.

Under the terms of the agreement, Dow will design and engineer a new 10,000 ton per year market development unit at its Terneuzen site in the Netherlands. The development unit will make use of Haldor Topsoe’s PureStep technology to purify pyrolysis oil feedstock from waste plastics and advance the technology for industrial-scale purification of circular feedstocks to develop circular plastics.
