A Green Hydrogen plant in Leuna/Germany was supposed to start production in 2022. But it's been delayed for years, and after some digging, I'm finally able to reveal the backstory: industrydecarbonization.com/…
Plastic pyrolysis is a controversial technology that, if successful, could recycle plastic waste that is currently unrecyclable🪣🗑️🔥🏭♻️.
However, Plastic Energy, one of the leading companies in this space, is in financial peril💶.

What happens if you offer generous subsidies💰 for Carbon Capture and Storage💨 - but you demand that projects deliver on time⏰?
Denmark awarded CCS subsidies💶 in multiple tenders. But those came with a catch: deliver on time - or face hefty penalties. industrydecarbonization.com/…
Some of the cleanest Caprolactam factories are shutting down 🧪🏭🚧
The production of a chemical used to make Nylon+plastics, results in significant N₂O emissions, a potent greenhouse gas🌿🏠🔥, but emissions can easily be avoided. 🔌💡

SF6, a Greenhouse Gas 25,000 times as bad as CO2 💨🟡🌍🔥
It's been known that reported📊 SF6 emissions&measurements☁️ don't match. Now, scientists have found a significant SF6 source in Southern Germany - a chemical plant🧪🏭 operated by @SolvayGroup

Why does @UNFCCC make it needlessly difficult to download emission data? Whatever the reason, I am now providing downloads of data that should be easily accessible. More: industrydecarbonization.com/…
Will Enerkem's Waste Gasification tech work in Spain after it failed to deliver in Canada?♨️🗑️ Repsol wants to build a Waste-to-Methanol plant in Tarragona🇪🇸. The tech was used in Edmonton🇨🇦 for ~10y, but never came close to its expected production volumes industrydecarbonization.com/…
Is Enerkem's Waste Gasification technology a Failure or a promising Climate Solution? industrydecarbonization.com/…
Peregrine Hydrogen says they have a way to make H2 that requires 1/2 the electricity by integrating it with another process. By doing so, they make Hydrogen and another product (H2SO4) + there is an industry that needs both: Phosphate mines ⛏️⚒️🪨 industrydecarbonization.com/…
You want CCS, but cheaper and less controversial? Try Biomethane industrydecarbonization.com/…
ArcelorMittal may shutdown its flagship "Smart Carbon" project Steelanol in Belgium 🇧🇪⛓️🏭 What most news don't mention is that Steelanol has a "sister project" called Torero, a biocoal plant🌲🪨🏭 & it appears Torero is not working as expected. industrydecarbonization.com/… #steel
