Claimed to be the largest PVDF production facility in North America on completion, Syensqo has broken ground at its Augusta site in Georgia, USA. The project is expected to help create battery materials which are required for the growth of electric vehicles in the region.

Topsoe has received a massive funding of 94 million euros from EU’s Innovation Fund for developing a solid oxide electrolyzer cells factory in Denmark. The factory is expected to manufacture advanced, energy efficient solid oxide electrolyzer cells which are used in the production of green hydrogen.

A consortium of 15 companies including Neste have successfully concluded a joint ‘E-Fuel research project’ in which high temperature electrolysis (SOEC), carbon capture, and hydrocarbon synthesis technologies were demonstrated and production of synthetic e-fuels was also accelerated.

The consortium led by Sonichem has secured funding from Innovate UK’s 'Resource efficiency for materials and manufacturing' programme. The funding will help the project to accelerate the development of the proprietary Sonichem ultrasound technology and the production of renewable, cost-effective alternatives to petrochemicals.

How long does it take for something groundbreaking to become business-as-usual? At what point do those nice-to-haves become the norm? How exactly does it happen? And, perhaps most importantly of all, how do you keep progressing after what was once exceptional becomes the default? The promise of a ‘sustainable future’ creates many questions – questions that can only be answered with collaboration.

The plastics recycling joint venture has been launched in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province in Southern China. Under this project, mechanical recycling technology will be used to recycle plastic waste and produce new polymers.

Arkema has entered into an agreement to acquire a 78 % stake in Proionic, a well-known start-up which produces and develops ionic liquids. These are key components used for developing the next generation of lithium-ion batteries.

Under a Heads of Agreement signed between Total Energies and Sinopec, both the parties will work together to develop a sustainable aviation fuel production unit at Sinopec’s refinery in China. On completion, the project is expected to produce 230,000 tons of SAF annually.

The US Department of Energy has chosen Thyssenkrupp Nucera for a 50-million-dollar grant under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s investment in clean hydrogen and electrolyzer manufacturing. With this move, the company aims to strengthen its presence in the region’s hydrogen market.

Hycc delays the green hydrogen project H2eron in Delfzijl to 2028 due to slow market development and rising costs. The European Renewable Energy Directive III impacts the timeline, pushing market maturity to around 2030. To mitigate costs, Hycc plans to increase H2eron's capacity to 50 MW and shifts from Nel to Norwegian alkaline electrolyzers for the project.
