Siemens Energy and Toray will jointly promote the development of the largest multi megawatt class PEM electrolysis in Japan under the Green Innovation Funding Program arranged by the Japanese Government. Toray’s new membrane technology will be used in the process. The companies aim to advance the technologies used in the production of green hydrogen by making use of renewable energy sources.

CPhI has highlighted that continuous processing, PAT (Process Analytical Technology), and PAC (Process Analytical Chemistry) are now being combined in the pharma industry order to produce better-quality products at a lower cost. This new manufacturing strategy has gained speed owing to government’s efforts to ‘reshore’ manufacturing. CPhI’s recent annual report has also predicted that China and the USA will lead the pharma market in innovations by 2030 in the backdrop of mass personalized therapeutics, cobots, AI, and automation delivering process improvements.

The University of Bayreuth under its H₂ Giga project focuses on the research, development, and industrial production of high-performance, low-cost electrolyzers to meet Germany's demand for green hydrogen. One of the seven H₂ Giga projects called ‘HTs: HTEL Stacks – Ready for Gigawatt’ has received funding of more than 11,00,000 dollars. Chair of Ceramic Materials Engineering at the University of Bayreuth is responsible for this collaborative project.

Under the three agreements signed between BP, Adnoc and Masdar, the companies jointly aim to develop low carbon hydrogen hubs and decarbonized air corridors between the UK and UAE. BP and Adnoc also have plans to continue decarbonizing existing oil and gas operations by using methane detection, CCUS and pioneering digital technologies.

With an estimated project cost of 950 million dollars, Renewable Energy Group has plans to upgrade its existing Geismar renewable diesel project in Louisiana, USA as well as expand the project in order to produce 340 million gallons of renewable diesel per year.

Wood’s scope of work for Humber Zero, one of the leading industrial decarbonization projects in the UK includes the development and integration of designs across the FEED packages including interface management, safety studies, licensor selection and scoping of future services.

The ‘marinized’ electrolyzer project will be developed at Grimsby in the UK for renewable hydrogen production. The Oyster Project is funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, a public private partnership of the European Commission and will develop and test an electrolyzer system designed to be integrated with offshore wind turbines.

Dow’s net-zero carbon emissions ethylene and derivatives complex is expected to more than triple the company’s ethylene and polyethylene capacity from its Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta site in Canada. The site's existing assets will be retrofitted to meet the requirements of net-zero carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2). The project is expected to decarbonize ~20 % of the firm’s global ethylene capacity while growing polyethylene supply by ~15 %.

In line with company’s ‘Solvay One Planet’ strategy, the firm has plans to phase out the use of coal at its soda ash facility in Rheinberg, Germany. For this purpose, the company has commissioned its maiden biomass boiler and intends to develop a second biomass boiler, which will make Rheinberg the first soda ash plant in the world to be powered primarily by renewable energy.

Chevron has plans to invest more than 10 billion dollars by 2028 to achieve its 2030 growth targets for new energy businesses such as renewable fuels, hydrogen, and carbon capture. This includes 2 billion dollars to lower the company’s carbon intensity operations.
