An in-depth review by IEA has revealed that owing to bold policies and support for innovation, Canada is on the path to a successful energy transition. The country aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2050. In line with this goal, the governments have undertaken various policy measures such as a clean fuels standard, a commitment to phase out unabated coal-fired electricity by 2030, methane regulations in the oil and gas sector, measures to decarbonize the transport sector, and many more.

Reliance has entered into a MOU with India’s Gujarat state to invest 80 billion dollars in green energy as well as other projects. The deal includes the establishment of the mega renewable energy power plant along with the development of a green hydrogen eco-system.

Haldor Topsoe has entered into a 51-million-dollar loan agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to support its research in the development of low-carbon technologies for the production of green hydrogen, green ammonia, biofuels, and electrified methanol.

BASF has plans to increase the production capacity of its hindered amine light stabilizers in Pontecchio Marconi, Italy and Lampertheim, Germany. The move is expected to meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions across the globe.

The NA6 Sodium Analyzer from Electro Chemical Devices (ECD) is equipped with an advanced glass electrode sensor that measures sodium in water to the parts per billion, parts per million or milligram per liter levels and is used across various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, H2 electrolysis, steam turbine and boiler water, electronics, refineries, etc.

In the production of chemical compounds, the success of each individual reaction depends on numerous parameters. It is not always possible, even for experienced chemists, to predict whether a reaction will take place and how well it will work. In order to remedy this situation, chemists and computer scientists from the University of Münster have now developed a tool based on artificial intelligence. The study has been published in the journal ‘Chem’.

Brexit is sealed ... What’s next for the EU-UK chemical industry? — Europe is the second largest chemicals producer in the world. With the UK now leaving the EU zone, what will this mean for chemical trade between the two sides? PROCESS Worldwide offers an insight into this dynamic market scenario.

Wanner International’s Hydra-Cell pumps ensure optimum energy usage and have the capacity to reduce the total energy usage by up to 50 % for industrial sectors. It also helps to reduce carbon footprint.

The Shyne (Spanish Hydrogen Network) project, the largest renewable hydrogen consortium in Spain, made up of 33 entities from different sectors, was presented on January 19, 2022 at Campus Repsol, the headquarters of the multi-energy company. It brings together 22 companies and 11 associations, technology centers, and universities under the leadership of Repsol with the aim of promoting renewable hydrogen projects in all areas of the Spanish economy and, thus, stimulating rapid and effective decarbonization through this energy vector that is considered one of the keys to the energy transition.
