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.

Topsoe’s Hydroflex technology has been selected by Holborn for producing SAF and renewable diesel at its Hamburg renewable fuels refinery in Germany. The complex is expected to be operational in early 2027 and aims to produce 220,000 tons of renewable diesel and SAF per year.

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.

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.

Under a MOU signed between Cepsa and Sonatrach, both the parties will work together to carry out a feasibility study for the development of an integrated project for green hydrogen production and derivatives in Algeria.

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.

Kemira’s climate targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. The company aims to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions 51.23 % by 2030 from a 2018 base year.

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.

The acquisition of APK is in line with Lyondell Basell’s goal of producing and marketing at least 2 million metric tons of recycled and renewable based polymers annually by 2030. APK’s unique solvent-based recycling technology is a perfect fit with the company’s existing mechanical and advanced recycling technologies.
