The “dual carbon” goals will bring profound changes to the development of China’s economy. On the road to carbon neutrality in the process industry, digital technology is becoming a new engine driving the high-quality development of the industry. Through continuous digital technology upgrading and application innovation, Siemens is actively integrating cutting-edge technology into industrial practices to promote green productivity of China’s industry. An interview with Dr. Markus Lade, Senior Vice President of Digital Industries and General Manager of Process Automation Business Unit, Siemens, China.

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.

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.

Plug Power has entered into a strategic relationship with Nikola Corporation to accelerate the hydrogen economy. Under this collaboration, Plug Power will supply green hydrogen to Nikola from January 1, 2023 and Nikola will also purchase a 30 TPD liquefaction system from Plug for its Arizona Hydrogen Hub.

Under a joint partnership, Honeywell and Johnson Matthey (JM) aim to advance low carbon hydrogen solutions by producing blue hydrogen from JM's LCH technology as well as Honeywell's carbon capture technology.

Repsol, Naturgy, Reganosa have plans to establish a 200 MW renewable hydrogen plant which will initially have a capacity of 30 MW. Once complete, the plant will produce 30,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per year and will then supply it to Repsol’s refinery in A Coruña as well as other consumers.

Under the terms of the agreement, Johnson Matthey will supply its ammonia cracking technology and catalyst for converting clean ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen. The clean hydrogen will then be used to power turbines, which are vital components of hydrogen-fuelled power plants.

With a hefty investment of 4-billion-dollars, Air Products and the AES Corporation aim to establish a large-scale green hydrogen production facility in Wilbarger County, Texas, USA. The new plant is expected to produce over 200 metric tons per day of green hydrogen.

Under a long-term contract signed between both the parties, Air Liquide will supply additional hydrogen and carbon monoxide to Kumho Mitsui Chemical (KMCI) in South Korea in order to expand its methyl diphenyl diisocyanate production.
