The consortium consisting of Repsol, Naturgy and Reganosa are partnering with the Impulsa Galicia initiative of the northern Spanish region of Galicia and will invest 146 million euros in the initial phase to generate 300 GWh of renewable energy annually by making use of 1.2 million tons of surplus livestock manure.

Total Energies and Holcim have collaborated together to study various energies and technologies for developing an efficient CCUS system which will help to decarbonize Holcim’s entire cement plant in Belgium. The partnership will also aim at establishing renewable projects to power an electrolyzer in order to generate green hydrogen for e-fuels as well as to power Holcim’s new oxyfuel kiln.

With industrial firms looking to bring innovative and sustainable solutions to the market, modular plants have picked up steam across diverse sectors. One thing that stands out among all projects that opted for these modular solutions is its multiple advantages.

Sulzer Chemtech’s advanced separation technologies will be used for European Energy’s mega e-methanol plant in Denmark. Expected to produce 32’000 metric tonnes of carbon neutral fuels annually, the plant will help to decarbonize the heavy transportation sector.

Orthex has plans to use Ineos Styrolution’s styrene acrylonitrile copolymer for producing storage products. The copolymers have been developed in partnership with BASF and is built on the firm’s styrene monomer derived from renewable feedstock which is based on a mass balance approach.

Borealis, Neste and MAM have developed a new soother which has been created with renewably-sourced feedstock. The rigid part of the soother is made up of renewably-sourced polypropylene from Borealis’ portfolio of circular polyolefins and is manufactured with Neste’s raw material which is made entirely from renewable raw materials.

Neste has launched a strategic study to transition its Porvoo refinery in Finland into a renewable and circular solutions site. The move is expected to discontinue the refining of crude oil at the site by the mid-2030s. The company is also exploring opportunities for green hydrogen at its refinery.

Ørsted has plans to develop Europe’s largest green fuel production facility for the shipping industry – Flagship One in Sweden. The company has also selected Topsoe for carrying out Engineering, Procurement and Fabrication for the project’s e-methanol technology.

Under a MOU signed between BP and the Government of Egypt, BP will conduct numerous studies to analyze the feasibility of developing a large-scale green hydrogen production facility in Egypt.

Under a MOU, BASF and Sulzer Chemtech will work together to develop innovative sustainable technologies for the production of renewable fuels and chemically recycled plastics with an aim to reduce its carbon intensity.
