The sodium-ion battery technology is claimed to be safe, sustainable, provides high energy density, is a low-cost energy storage technology solution and is significantly cost competitive as compared to other battery technologies. Reliance will make use of the technology at its fully integrated energy storage giga-factory which is a part of the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex project at Jamnagar, India. The acquisition will also assist India to become one of the leading countries in battery technologies.

Under the terms of the partnership, Matrìca will supply bio-based raw materials from vegetable oils from its Porto Torres plant in Sardinia, Italy to Lanxess in order to manufacture a new generation of industrial preservatives.

PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of December 2021’ from all over the world. Right from MOL Group and DCM Shriram digitalizing its plant operations to one of the world’s largest polymer production plants set for completion, find out all the projects making headlines here.

Nobian has become the first company in Germany to supply certified green hydrogen from chlor-alkali electrolysis. The produced green hydrogen complies with the leading TÜV Süd CMS 70 Standard and can produce up to 2,700 tons of green hydrogen annually at the firm’s Bitterfeld site in Germany.

Biojet’s new renewable energy facility will be developed in Ringerike, Norway wherein KBR will conduct technology evaluations, early engineering and project development for the project. Biojet aims to convert forestry residues to renewable and sustainable green fuels at the new plant.

Tüpras has selected Honeywell UOP’s Isoalky technology to produce superior quality alkylate at its refineries in Turkey. With this move, the company aims to produce cleaner gasoline in line with its ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

Total Energies and Veolia have signed an agreement to produce biomethane from Veolia waste and water treatment facilities operating in more than 15 countries.

thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers has bagged a contract from Air Products to supply a mega electrolysis plant to the green hydrogen project at NEOM in Saudi Arabia. The company is expected to engineer, procure and fabricate the plant based on its 20 MW alkaline water electrolysis module.

Kemira has achieved a breakthrough by starting the first worldwide full-scale production of its newly developed water-soluble polymer. The new polymers are manufactured according to the principles of biomass-balance which means that majority of the fossil based raw materials are replaced by ISCC Plus certified biobased and renewable mass-balanced feedstocks. These polymers are produced at the company’s facilities in Italy and UK and will be supplied to water-intensive industries across the globe.

With this mega project in Illinois, USA, Air Liquide has plans to bring its worldwide biomethane production capacity to 1.8 TWh. The new unit will produce biomethane from biogas from a solid waste treatment plant and will have a production capacity of 380 GWh per year.
