The groundbreaking of Again’s new acetic acid production facility in Texas City marks a key step toward commercializing sustainable chemicals from recycled CO₂. Supported by Helm and Diamond Infrastructure Solutions, the project aims to deliver low-emission chemical solutions while strengthening local supply chains and industrial resilience.

Again, the carbon transformation scale-up recycling CO₂ into valuable chemicals, is developing a new facility to convert waste CO₂ into reusable chemical products and bring sustainable chemical manufacturing to Texas.

Based in Texas City, the first-of-a-kind commercial plant will recycle waste CO₂ emissions from a tenant at the Diamond Infrastructure Solutions (Diamond) Texas City industrial park into sustainable chemicals, fertilizers and building blocks for products, including plastics and other materials such as acetic acid, a base chemical used in adhesives, solvents, plastics, textiles and cosmetics.

The company’d novel biomanufacturing technology feeds waste CO₂ gases directly into industrial bioreactors, where bacteria ferment it with hydrogen. This results in low-emission, industry-grade chemicals which are sold to customers at market-competitive prices. Again co-locates its facilities with industrial companies and sources the CO₂ directly onsite to minimize energy-demanding CO₂ transport. Not only is Again reducing carbon emissions for industry, but its technology is also enabling organizations to shore up their supply chain resilience by reducing the need to import chemicals from across the world.

The company has already begun work at the Diamond Texas City site to construct the new facility and start production within a year. The facility will transform waste CO₂ into low-carbon commercial materials, enabling the manufacture of novel chemicals, fertilizers, and acetic acid. Again and leading global chemical distributor Helm will sell these products back to industry.

This is made possible thanks to a plug-and-play solution, which seamlessly integrates into the existing industrial park infrastructure, lowering process risk for existing production lines and enabling speedy development and construction timelines.
