The ‘Chbika’ project aims to develop 1 GW of onshore solar and wind capacities that will power the production of green hydrogen through the electrolysis of desalinated seawater and lead to the production of 200,000 tons per year of green ammonia for the European market. The project will constitute the first phase of a development program which is aimed at creating a world-scale green hydrogen production hub.

The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter is one of the landmark initiatives launched at COP28. It is a global industry effort dedicated to speeding up climate action and achieving high-scale impact across the oil and gas sector. The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter has recently published its first report to baseline, prioritize and track progress on emissions reductions.

Under a Strategic Collaboration Agreement signed between Adnoc, Masdar and Microsoft, the three companies will work together to decarbonize the energy system of today and enable a sustainable energy system for the future.

Calling all industries to decarbonize, decarbonize and decarbonize. We are living in a world where decarbonization is no longer an option but a core necessity. Although there are many industrial projects that have made headlines for decarbonizing their operations but we take a look at three upcoming mega projects that can be considered as landmark projects of recent times.

Lummus and Braskem will carry out joint studies for the industrial demonstration of Lummus' SRT-etm electric cracking heater. With this move, the companies aim to decarbonize one of Braskem's sites in Brazil.

Motiva has chosen Honeywell UOP's aromatics technologies for developing its new aromatics facility in Texas, USA. The project is expected to produce benzene and paraxylene, which are key building blocks for medical supplies, fabrics, and many other products common to daily life.

The world’s first of its kind green ammonia plant has recently been inaugurated by Topsoe, Skovgaard Energy, and Vestas in Denmark. The plant is a demonstration project which will demonstrate how renewable power can be coupled directly to an ammonia plant to produce green ammonia in a cost-effective manner.

Neste has plans to expand its chemical recycling logistics infrastructure at its refinery in Porvoo, Finland. The move will support the company’s aim to advance chemical recycling and transform the Porvoo refinery into a renewable and circular solutions hub.

Next Hydrogen has bagged a contract to supply its latest generation electrolysis technology to the University of Minnesota West Central Research and Outreach Center in the USA. The technology will be used for renewable energy ammonia production research.

Linde has plans to de-captivate two air separation units as well as expand its existing supply of industrial gases to Tata Steel in Odisha, India. Both the ASUs are currently under construction and Linde will supply oxygen, nitrogen and argon to Tata Steel under a long-term agreement.
