Yara opens Europe’s largest carbon capture project
The €200 million project was officially opened on 7th September in an inauguration ceremony at Sluiskil in the Netherlands attended by the Norwegian and Dutch prime ministers.
Enhanced decarbonisation of SRU gas facilities
Gas processing facilities are increasingly required to reduce industrial carbon footprint. A significant opportunity lies in recovering CO2 from tail-end gas streams that are typically routed to thermal oxidation. MAIRE Group presents an integrated recovery configuration combining cryogenic separation with pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to recover high purity CO2 and H2 from SRU/TGTU tail gas.
Topsoe and Sasol chosen to license SAF plant
Topsoe has, together with Sasol, signed a single point licensing agreement with SUS-TAERO to deliver process technologies for a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project in Canada. Feedstock will be gasified wood waste. The project has a planned capacity of 3,200 bbl/d. SUSTAERO expects to take final investment decision in 2028 with expected operations in 2031.
Options for refinery decarbonisation
While there has been a focus on switching to low carbon hydrogen feeds, many options exist to decarbonise refineries, including energy efficiency, carbon capture and changing to bio-feedstocks.
The outlook for low carbon hydrogen
The scale up of low carbon hydrogen has proved slower, more selective and more geographically concentrated than the ambitious plans announced earlier in the decade had anticipated.
