Messer has commissioned a new plant for the production of green CO2 at its Vrdy site in the Czech Republic. This will increase the security of supply for Messer's customers, such as the local food and beverage industry. This is particularly important in the summer months, when the demand for carbon dioxide for soft drinks or cooling technologies is particularly high.
PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC) and Honeywell signed a memorandum of understanding to study the feasibility of using Honeywell’s technology in the process of carbon capture and storage using Carbon Capture and Storage technology in GC Group plants and carbon utilization or Carbon Capture Utilization to achieve the goal of reducing net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Toray Industries, Inc. announced that it will install a pilot facility for its all-carbon carbon dioxide (CO2) separation membrane at its Shiga Plant.
