Under a global joint development agreement signed between both the parties, Technip Energies and Anellotech will jointly work together to further develop and license Anellotech’s Plas-Tcat process. The thermal-catalytic recycling technology is capable of converting mixed plastic wastes back into its constituent basic chemicals.

AM Green’s green ammonia plant has become the first Indian project to secure the prestigious Certifhy EU Pre-Certification. Situated in Kakinada, India, the project is expected to increase its production capacity from one to five million tons per annum of green ammonia by 2030.

Achema has once again opened its doors to the global process industry. Located in Frankfurt, Germany, the mega show which will be held from June 10 – 14, 2024, offers six innovative themes – Process, Pharma, Green, Lab, Digital and Hydrogen.

Many processes require ammonia — but handling this volatile substance, which is aggressive in combination with water, is not easy. In particular, the need to take regular samples poses challenges for operators. Optimized processes enable faster sampling of ammonia and thus contribute to higher accuracy, lower costs and greater employee safety.

Cepsa Química has developed the first renewable energy traceability system for the manufacture of chemical products. This has also been validated by Aenor, the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification.

In a move to enhance the sustainability of chemicals and plastics, Neste Corporation partners with South Korean Lotte Chemical. This strategic collaboration aims to substitute fossil resources with renewable raw materials, leveraging the Finnish company’s renewable RE.

Mitsui Chemicals has plans to increase meta-Xylylene Diisocyanate production capacity at its plant located within Omuta Works in Japan. The move will increase the site’s total production capacity by 20 %.

Organosulfur skeletons are crucial in many fields, including pharmaceuticals and electronics. Synthesizing organosulfur skeletons requires o-bromobenzenethiols. However, conventional methods face challenges due to quick oxidation and formation of highly reactive intermediates. In a new study, researchers from Japan developed a new method for synthesizing o-bromobenzenethiols from aryne intermediates via bromothiolation. This method can pave the way for the synthesis of new organosulfur compounds with applications in diverse fields.

OQ Chemicals has reached a key milestone in its ‘Propel’ project with the mechanical completion of its infrastructure. The project will support the operation of Röhm’s new world-scale Methyl Methacrylate plant in Bay City site, USA.

Lummus’ new renewable dimethyl ether technology can process numerous types of methanol to produce renewable dimethyl ether. The technology is also capable of lowering Capex and Opex.
