Claimed to be the world’s largest reservation of electrolyzer capacity, Topsoe and First Ammonia have entered into a deal to begin the global market for green ammonia. Under this deal, Topsoe will provide an initial 500 MW of solid oxide electrolyzer cell units, which is scalable to 5 GW, to First Ammonia’s green ammonia plants across the globe.

The shipment from the UAE to Germany marks the first ever demonstration cargo of low-carbon ammonia between both the countries. Germany’s Aurubis, a leading global provider of non-ferrous metals will use the low-carbon ammonia as a feedstock in its wire rod plant in order to meet its decarbonization goals.

Big automotive manufacturers are winding down their output of vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICEs) and turning to e-mobility. What does this mean for battery producers in the process industries? We look at market trends, challenges and opportunities for process industry companies and their partners.

Global chemicals company Kemira has renewed its framework agreement with industrial services provider Bilfinger for comprehensive maintenance services at its production site in Helsingborg, Sweden. The contract runs for a period of five years and covers various factory units within Kemira's largest location worldwide.

Graforce’s methane electrolysis technology (plasmalysis) makes use of LNG or LPG to produce clean-burning hydrogen and solid, high-purity carbon. The innovative technology is expected to help the EU meet its decarbonization targets.

Under the global licensing agreement, Mc Dermott will provide integrated solutions for KBR's proprietary ammonia technologies which will enable its customers to develop low-carbon ammonia projects in the background of the growing ammonia market.

ABB has entered into an agreement with Hydrogen Optimized to expand its existing partnership in the field of large-scale green hydrogen production systems. The deal also includes an investment into Hydrogen Optimized’s parent company.

The biomass cogeneration facility is claimed to be the first large–scale power generation plant to operate solely with well-pressed or dried fermentation residues. Once operational, the plant will supply at least 70,000 megawatt hours of steam to Sasol annually as well as produce more than 90,000 megawatt hours of sustainable electricity every year.

In the land of the rising sun, researchers have developed a new technology for small-scale ammonia production: The compact ammonia synthesis systems can enable smaller countries to establish their own decentralized NH3 production and could play an important role in the decarbonization of the industry. As so often, a sophisticated catalyst is the enabler.

Achema, the international trade fair for process industries has kickstarted with great pomp and vigor in Frankfurt, Germany. The live show has attracted over 2,200 exhibitors from more than 50 countries and is exhibiting numerous equipment and processes for the chemical, pharma and food industry.
