Cefic has sharpened its warning over the EU’s Emissions Trading System (ETS), saying the European Commission’s July revision proposal could accelerate deindustrialisation despite including some of the changes industry had asked for.
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.
Air Liquide explains the key features and benefits of GasPOx, a catalyst-free syngas platform that enables cost-efficient, low-carbon production from diverse feedstocks with minimal pretreatment.
Hy2gen Nordic’s Albatros renewable hydrogen project in Kassø, Denmark, has secured support from the European Hydrogen Bank. The project centres on a 100 MW RFNBO electrolyser aimed at industrial demand in Germany and across Europe.
A summary of Uzbekistan’s industrial baseline, historical operational experience with electrolysis, the 2025 green hydrogen pilot at Chirchiq, and the current outlook for scaling green ammonia production.
In an industrial test campaign, Linde has successfully demonstrated that an existing Linde Ammonia Concept (LAC™ ) plant equipped with a state-of-the-art Casale axial radial converter can be stably operated at 10% load for more than 24 hours.
For many years confined to pilot projects and feasibility studies, biomass based gasification is seeing rapid take up in China for methanol production and may mark a new era in syngas generation.
Sulphur recovery units in petroleum refineries and natural gas processing plants utilise incineration as a final treatment step for tail gas, ensuring that residual sulphur compounds are converted to less harmful emissions. Elmo Nasato of Nasato Consulting Ltd compares the two sulphur plant incinerator options – thermal incineration and catalytic incineration – including key considerations for policymakers, businesses, and environmental advocates.
NX eBlue™ is a next-generation hydrogen production technology, ready for industrial deployment, that integrates electrification with renewable energy to deliver a low-carbon, high-efficiency alternative to traditional steam methane reforming. M. Antonelli, M. Mennella, and Dr. S. Romagnuolo of KT Tech S.p.A. describe NEXTCHEM’s proposal for the electrification of steam methane reforming.
Johnson Matthey (JM) has officially opened its first hydrogen internal combustion engine facility, where emission control systems will be tested. Hydrogen internal combustion engines use zero carbon hydrogen fuel in tried-and-tested engine technology, presenting a viable path for decarbonising medium and heavy-duty transport, such as trucks and buses.
