Site suppliers such as InfraTec Duisburg provide companies with energy and operating resources on a 24/7 basis, for example in the Duisburg industrial park. In order to offer advantages to its customers and to increase its own competitiveness, the service provider installed an energy management system which facilitates the very detailed detection and evaluation of energy flows. Moreover, savings with regard to the EEG levy (German reallocation charge) result in considerable monetary relief.

Today, ammonia is mostly known as an indispensable fertiliser ingredient. A new research project will now explore ammonia’s potential, both as a sustainable fuel and a good solution for ‘storing’ green power from wind and sun.

Nouryon and Gasunie will supply green hydrogen to Bio MCN for the production of renewable methanol from CO2. The companies say it marks the next step in the sustainability of processes in the industry.

ExxonMobil announced plans to add a new production unit at its Beaumont polyethylene plant that will increase capacity by 65 % — or approximately 650,000 tonnes per year — to meet growing demand for high performance plastics.

Tight deadlines, extreme quality standards and massive cost pressure—these are the demands which currently dictate pharmaceutical plant engineering. The new but familiar market of the future is biotechnology, although chemical syntheses are also back in demand.

Hydrogen - a colourless, odourless gas is increasingly gaining attention as a future source of energy free from environmental pollution. Its new use has been found in the automobile and power generation sector. But the storage of hydrogen has always been a problem due to its small molecular size – now solid state hydrogen storage technology could bring a breakthrough...

Under the contract, Axens and Exxon Mobil will market and deliver all technologies associated within a refinery alkylation block. Together, the companies will also offer technologies to produce high octane gasoline.

The aim of a new initiative of the German Catalysis Society (Gecats) is to unlock the enormous wealth of catalysis research data. In the recently published whitepaper "The Digitalization of Catalysis-Related Sciences", experts from academia and industry outline how "digital catalysis" can accelerate research processes and lead to new insights.

NatureWork overhauls its bio–polymers prododuction: New production technology will increase capacity at the NatureWorks' Blair, Nebraska, facility to 150,000 metric tonnes per annum, making new performance grades available in the second quarter 2013.

Tres Valles produces not just sugar in the sugar cane factory of the Piasa group, but also power on the side. WEG has delivered the integrated energy production solution for the first power-heat coupling plant of Mexico.
