Ecolab has plans to takeover Purolite, a global manufacturer of high-end ion exchange resins for the separation and purification of solutions in biopharma and industrial sectors. The acquisition will strengthen the company’s life sciences business in order to develop better and more effective products for its customers as well as expand its capabilities in microelectronics, nuclear power and food and beverage industries.

Repsol has plans to invest 10.4 million dollars for the electrolyzer at the Petronor Refinery in Spain which will produce renewable hydrogen. Low and zero carbon footprint products will be manufactured by the firm with the use of this renewable hydrogen. The company aims to decarbonize its processes at all its industrial complexes.

With an annual production capacity of 450 thousand tons, the new polypropylene production plant will be built within the Ceyhan Industrial Zone in Ceyhan, Turkey. The 1.7-billion-dollar investment is claimed to be one of the private-sector’s largest industrial investments in the country and expected to triple the nation’s annual polypropylene production capacity.

HDF Energy has started the construction of the world’s first baseload renewable energy power plant using hydrogen technology – CEOG in French Guiana. The CEOG Renewstable power plant is expected to supply 100 % renewable, stable and dispatchable power to households without emitting any polluting emissions. Meridiam and Sara are the equity partners for the project.

Exxon Mobil has called for engineering, procurement and construction contract bids with an aim to capture up to 1 million metric tons of CO2 annually at its LaBarge, Wyoming facility in the USA. The proposed 400-million-dollar expansion project is expected to commence operations by 2025.

Under a MOU signed between Haldor Topsoe and Shchekinoazot, both the companies will work together to reduce the carbon footprint of Shchekinoazot’s existing and future plants in the Tula region, Russia.

Plug Power has plans to build a mega green hydrogen production facility in Fresno County, USA. On completion, the unit is expected to produce 30 metric tons of liquid green hydrogen per day. The move will help to decarbonize light-duty vehicles, freight-transportation, and logistics operations.

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 %.

Haldor Topsoe’s demo plant will utilize its electrified steam methane reforming technology (eSMR) for producing sustainable methanol from biogas at a competitive cost as compared to other non-fossil fuels. Located at Aarhus University’s research facility in Foulum, Denmark, the unit is expected to have an annual capacity of 10,000l of CO2-neutral methanol from biogas.

Technip Energies and Siemens Energy announced an exclusive agreement to jointly develop, commercialize, and license the Rotating Olefins Cracker technology to decarbonize olefin production processes. The ROC technology employs a dynamic reactor system that replaces conventional furnaces used for pyrolysis when manufacturing light olefins — the building blocks for chemical products used in everyday materials, from packaging to polymers.
