The Hysynergy Phase II development comprises a 300 MW electrolyzer and Power-to-X facility which will be established next to the Fredericia refinery in Denmark. The project aims to scale up the production of green hydrogen so that it can be used for zero-emission hydrogen mobility as well as green feedstock to various fuel refining processes.

The Eramet group and Electricité de Strasbourg have collaborated and successfully announced the first pilot test which was able to extract lithium from geothermal brine in Alsace, France. The move is considered to be a major step forward for the European Geothermal Lithium Brine (Eugeli) project.

By 2040, 213.5 gigawatts of electrolyser capacity is earmarked worldwide, 1000 times as much as the 0.2 gigawatts currently in operation. Germany remains the most attractive market for investments in low-emission hydrogen, but there are also ambitious new plans and strategies in Italy, Poland and the UK, a study by Aurora Energy Research reveals.

Under the Circular Plastics Fund, Dow, Lyondell Basell, and Nova Chemicals have teamed up to accelerate investment in plastics recycling infrastructure. The Fund invites businesses across the plastics value chain to join in advancing the recovery and recycling of plastics in the U.S. and Canada.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide engineering, advisory and evaluation services for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) various biofuel and biorefinery projects, thus advancing NREL’s renewable energy research and development.

Under a MOU signed between Vianode and Morrow Batteries, Vianode will supply anode materials to Morrow Batteries’ lithium-ion battery cell unit in Arendal, Norway. With this move, the companies aim to exploit the synergies of their innovative production process and product design, to improve the performance and safety of battery cells.

With an aim to advance the circular economy, Lyondell Basell has started producing virgin quality polymers from raw materials derived from plastic waste at its Wesseling site in Germany.

PKN Orlen has plans to expand the Olefins Complex at the Płock production unit in Poland. Once complete, the project is expected to be one of the most modern facilities in Europe. With this project, the company will join the group of the largest petrochemical producers in the world.

With an aim to support decarbonization efforts in Eastern United States, Mitsubishi Power and Texas Brine have joined forces to enhance Mitsubishi Power’s Strategic Infrastructure of Long-duration hydrogen storage solutions across North America.

Tidewater has chosen Topsoe’s Hydroflex and H2bridge technologies for its new renewable diesel facility in Canada which is expected to produce 3,000 barrels per day. Once completed, the project will be the country’s first commercial-scale stand-alone renewable diesel plant.
