Haldor Topsoe has announced the successful startup of the first Tertinox catalyst reference at Kavala Fertilizers in Greece. The move aims at reducing harmful N₂O and NOx in the nitric acid industry and the nitric acid unit is expected to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 30.000 tons CO2 equivalents per year.

Greenergy has plans to invest in Front End Engineering Design of a project to produce low-carbon transportation fuels from waste tires. The new facility is expected to process up to 300 tons of shredded tires each day to produce low-carbon fuels in the first phase. A second independent plant could also be set up to produce sustainable aviation fuel.

The mega project will be developed by Skovgaard Invest and supported by Vestas and Haldor Topsoe. Expected to be built in Western Jutland, Denmark, the plant will produce more than 5,000 tonnes of green ammonia from renewable power annually.

Grön Fuels has selected Haldor Topsoe’s H2bridge bio-hydrogen and hydroflex technology for its new multi-billion low carbon intensity complex in Louisiana, USA. Once completed, the mega facility is expected to produce 60,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel.

The mega plant is expected to produce 900 metric tonnes of high-purity methanol daily. The facility is expected to commence operations in 2023 and will be using Haldor Topsoe’s MeOH-To-Go technology to convert natural gas to methanol.

Haldor Topsoe’s new vision is to become one of the leading companies across the globe in carbon emission reduction technologies by 2024. The significant change in the company is expected to leave 200 people jobless.

The co-production plant is based on Topsoe’s Imap process and has been successfully operated by the Russian chemical firm Shchekinoazot since the past two years. The facility is capable of co-producing 450,000 tonnes of methanol and 135,000 tonnes of ammonia annually.

The large-scale sustainable project aims to create a hydrogen and sustainable fuel unit founded on the concept of electrolysis. Expected to be complete in three stages, the electrolysis plant once completed will offer a capacity of 1.3 GW.

Under a new agreement, Haldor Topsoe will include BASF’s simulation tool, OASE in its Clearview Ammonia connected service. With this, both the companies aim to provide ammonia producers with a better simulation of their plant operations in order to optimise their production.

Acron’s Ammonia-4 unit located in its Veliky Novgorod-based facility has plans to increase its production to 900,000 tonnes per annum. On completion of the upgrade, the total output at the Novgorod-based facility is expected to increase to 2.2 million tonnes per annum.
