While North America is pressing ahead with the expansion of battery production, Europe is struggling with delays and increased competition for production sites. In Germany, the discussion about capping research funding for lithium-ion batteries has led to uncertain future prospects. Eirich meets these challenges as a manufacturer of machines and systems and fulfils established standards in terms of quality, efficiency and delivery times.

Calling all industries to decarbonize, decarbonize and decarbonize. We are living in a world where decarbonization is no longer an option but a core necessity. Although there are many industrial projects that have made headlines for decarbonizing their operations but we take a look at three upcoming mega projects that can be considered as landmark projects of recent times.

Repsol will supply three truck-loads, totalling 60 tons of bio-LNG to Brittany Ferries LNG-fuelled vessels. The deal is claimed to be the first supply of its kind in Spain.

Qair has plans to develop an e-methanol production project Methavert at the Haropa Port site, in Le Havre, France. The facility is expected to initially produce 200,000 tonnes of e-methanol to support the decarbonization of maritime transport and other high-emission and hard-to-abate industries.

Researchers at the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (Cabbi) have achieved a significant breakthrough that could lead to better — and greener — agricultural chemicals and everyday products.

BASF has unveiled its new production line for water-based dispersions in Heerenveen, the Netherlands. With this new line, the company will be able to increase its production capacity without additional CO2 emissions.

Probably yes. Chemical recycling is a potential solution to recycle hard-to-recycle plastics, establish a circular economy and even reduce CO2 emissions. Although at a nascent stage, the technology shows great promise for the current plastics menace at hand.

The new analytical services provide accurate detection of a wide range of PFAS compounds. The services will assist water and wastewater operators to assess contamination levels and monitor progress of their treatment systems.

Chevron Phillips Chemical has awarded an Engineering and Procurement contract to Technip Energies for the supply of a proprietary Low Emission Cracking Furnace in an existing olefins unit at its facility in Sweeny, Texas.

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action has approved funding to BASF for developing the world’s largest industrial heat pump for CO2-free steam generation at its Ludwigshafen site in Germany. The heat pump is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 98 % at the site.
