Chemical recycling has been in the news for quite some time but what is this technology all about? And how does this technology help to solve the plastic problem as well as boost the circular economy concept? Read on to gain an insight into the technology and its benefits for the world at large.

Under a MOU signed between Axens and Praj, both the parties will collaborate on projects that focus on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in India. The green fuel will be produced from low-carbon alcohols via the Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) route.

Indorama Ventures and Carbios have plans to establish a joint venture under which it will build a first-of-its-kind PET biorecycling plant in France. The new project is expected to cost around 230 million euros.

Fuel cell technology projects can rely on Fluid Components International's ST80 thermal mass flow meters with Vortab (VIP) flow conditioners to accurately measure gas flow to generate clean electricity while reducing or eliminating environmentally harmful emissions such as carbon, NOX and SOX, according to the company.

KBR in partnership with Swedish Biofuels has introduced a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technology which can process ethanol as well as convert carbon dioxide and synthesis gas to produce SAF.

Lanxess has plans to source sustainable raw materials from Covestro, which have a significantly reduced carbon footprint, to produce key basic chemicals at its Lower Rhine sites in Germany. The partnership will result in reducing CO2 emissions by up to 120,000 tons per year at the site.

With an aim to remain competitiveness in today’s rapidly changing economic and geopolitical environment especially in Europe, OQ Chemicals has decided to realign its organization and reduce its workforce in Germany.

Syzygy Plasmonics has selected Emerson to automate its innovative catalyst reactor technology that uses light instead of thermal energy to decarbonize chemical production. The technology is expected to help manufacturers reduce both emissions and operational costs.

Hydrocarbon producers face mounting pressure to become climate resilient, reduce carbon emissions, and focus on revenue streams from renewables. To alleviate this pressure, power generation organizations need to embrace renewable alternatives, and while some companies have become early adopters, many operators are looking at substantial changes to their business models to accommodate the transition.

Under a MOU signed between Keppel Infrastructure and Exxonmobil Asia Pacific, both the firms will work together to explore low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia solutions in Singapore. The move has been carried out in the background of the Singapore Government’s launch of the National Hydrogen Strategy which expects hydrogen to meet up to half of Singapore’s power needs by 2050.
