Innio’s authorised channel partner, KTS Engineering will provide four J420 biogas engines to the new plant which is expected to reduce 24,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually for the I&U Group.

The move is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50,000 tonnes per year at Nouryon’s salt production site at Hengelo, in the Netherlands. The company has also more than doubled capacity for emulsion-based organic peroxides at its site in Los Reyes, Mexico to meet increased customer demand in the North American PVC market.

Methanol – much talked about as a biofuel or fuel additive all arounbd the world – plays a rather different role in India: This simple alcohol fills an important niche in the country's pharmaceutical sector. Now traditional, modern and alternative uses of methanol drive the market: The methanol race has just begun, insiders say...

Lithium Australia's use of mine waste to produce lithium-ion batteries formed the basis of a recently completed processing evaluation for the company's Sadisdorf lithium/tin project in Saxony, Germany. That evaluation contemplated the production of high-performance cathode powders from mica recovered from tin-mining operations there.

The company’s Renewable Products business will be segmented into three business units and one operational platform. Each of these units will have their own Executive Vice President and will be part of the firm’s Executive Committee.

Routes for diesel production – Over the period 2015–2040, the global demand for diesel is likely to grow at a compounded annual rate of 1.0 per cent. Therefore, maximization of diesel yield remains the major objective of petroleum refiners. Read on to find out the various routes through which diesel can be produced in a refinery...

Bio-based paraxylene is one of the vital elements for developing 100 % bio based PET bottles. The companies have recovered high-purity bio-based paraxylene by processing renewably-sourced aromatics made at Anellotech’s TCat- 8 pilot plant.

They are green, they grow fast, they are powerful — microalgae are, so to say, small versions of the incredible Hulk. And they have their superhero story, too. Follow us on a trip to a biobased micro-world …

Imagine you are a producer of lubricants, and you want to go biobased … The market is there, for sure, because many applications — from the chain saw in the forest to the wind power generator in the Wadden Sea — require biodegradable lubricants — a feature that can easily be achieved with biobased source materials.

A regular large-scale inspection of a refinery took place at Mineraloelraffinerie Oberrhein (MiRO) in Karlsruhe, in the spring of 2015. All 41 process plants in No. 1 Works as well as three plants in No. 2 Works were at a standstill for four–six weeks. During this time much more took place than just the fulfillment of legal requirements: The plants were cleaned, repaired and underwent further technical optimization and testing to ensure that they would run reliably and efficiently in the years ahead.
