The 1 MW-class hydrogen combined heat and power plant by the Innio Group has been awarded the Cogen Europe Recognition Award 2024 under the Technology and Innovation category. The project can convert stored hydrogen from surplus renewable production in summer back into electricity and heat for the wintertime.

Under an agreement signed between both the parties, RWE will build as well as operate a 300 MW electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen and Total Energies will supply 30,000 tons a year of green hydrogen to the Leuna refinery in Germany for fifteen years.

Solvay has now achieved 100 % renewable energy at its Rheinberg site in Germany with the installation of a second biomass boiler at its soda ash and bicarbonate plant. With this move, the plant is expected to reduce its CO2 emissions by 65 % annually as compared to its 2021 levels.

Blue Biofuels has entered into an agreement to acquire 35.5 acres of land in Frostproof, Florida, USA. The site will be used by the company to develop a biofuels production facility which is initially expected to produce 3 million gallons of biofuels annually.

Dow has invested in Xycle, a Netherlands-based leader in chemical recycling technology. The move is in line with the company’s goal of accelerating a circular economy for plastics.

Under a collaboration between Henkel and Celanese, both the firms will work together to produce water-based adhesives made from captured CO2 emissions. The move is expected to create new opportunities for customers in the packaging and consumer goods sector to increase the renewable content of their products.

The defossilisation of basic chemicals holds considerable potential for the chemical sector’s sustainable transformation. A study by PwC Germany and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) demonstrates how to achieve this and outlines the investments required.
