Renewable Hydrogen Energy Projects to be Conjointly Launched by Repsol and EDP in the Iberian Peninsula

Spain-based energy and petrochemicals major Repsol S.A. and Portugal-based energy company, EDP Renewables (EDPR), have entered into a strategic partnership for driving the projects on renewable hydrogen energy in their respective countries. The companies have signed an agreement to develop hydrogen production facilities at Asturias and Basque in Spain, and Sines in Portugal.

The Abono project in Spain, dedicated to developing a hydrogen valley in Asturias, will be headed by EDPR while Repsol will be supervising the Basque Hydrogen Corridor project in Spain that will require the installation of an industry-scale electrolyzer for hydrogen generation. In Sines, Portugal, the produced green hydrogen will be utilized by Repsol’s facilities operating in the same location, and EDPR will be taking care of energy supplies.

The partnership lays the foundation for Repsol’s ambition to lead the green energy production in Europe by achieving a capacity of 552 MW by 2025 and 1.9 GW by 2030.

Renewable or green hydrogen is produced from the electrochemical splitting of water in an electrolyzer powered by renewable energy sources like wind and solar energy. Hydrogen energy is expected to revolutionize the transport and petrochemical industries with its net-zero carbon emission capability.

As per ChemAnalyst, the global demand for hydrogen is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of around 5%, with major economies now diverting their efforts towards sustainable growth. The growing demand is expected to be met to a significant extent by hydrogen supplies from the planned projects. This collaboration is an important step towards achieving carbon-neutrality and fast-tracking the energy transition in various downstream sectors. This will also strengthen the positions of both companies in the energy market.

Global Poly Vinyl Chloride sentiment shivers on growing demand concerns

Image
Poly Vinyl Chloride sentiment has recently showcased mixed sentiments across global markets due to growing demand amid many factors that weigh on consumption in the month of April. The world’s largest PVC producer, China, has been partly experiencing pressure as the resurgence of Covid has hit demand for Poly Vinyl Chloride . Additionally, import offers in Turkey and Egypt markets have already seen a downward trend for the product. China’s domestic PVC market reflected weak demand conditions amid the extended lockdowns in Shanghai as prices softened this week. Manufacturers indulged in procuring stable offtakes in the domestic market as delays in export activity due to a shortage of containers for shipment led to a reduction in prices of several commodities, such as PVC. The activity was limited as players had put up a wait-and-see attitude before the announcement next week. The European Spot PVC market showcased a high price trend in comparison to other regions amid ongoing geopolit...

Acrylonitrile market follows divergent trends across the globe

Image
The market for Acrylonitrile has been depicting contrasting trends at different latitudes on account of distinct upstream cost and downstream demand in different territories. Acrylonitrile, produced from ammoxidation of propylene, is the upstream for ABS and Acrylic fibres. Hence, the fluctuations in the demand or prices of propylene and ABS majorly influence the market for Acrylonitrile. The Asian countries are witnessing a complete turnaround of Acrylonitrile prices from the other parts of the world, making them an exception. In Asian countries, the price of Acrylonitrile is falling, owing to the ample supply of upstream propylene. The stable to marginally lower demand for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) has also supported the price drop of Acrylonitrile in Asia. The numerical data from the continuing week confirmed the reports about this price dip. The evaluated price value implied a decrement of USD 5/MT from Monday to Tuesday in the ongoing week at FOB Korea and CFR China...

Agilyx Partners with Kumho Petrochemical on Chemical Recycling Plant in South Korea

Image
 Agilyx Corp. which is a major plastic recycling company in the United States, has announced a partnership with Kumho Petrochemical which is a manufacturer of synthetic rubber in South korea to develop and construct a chemical recycling facility in South Korea. The project will be using Agilyx’s unique and novel chemical recycling technology for the production of pure Styrene from post use Polystyrene price . The Styrene obtained from recycling will be used as virgin equivalent raw material to produce Solution Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SSBR) which is a major component for manufacturing tires. The project would include a new application for Agilyx’s  Polystyrene market demand price   depolymerization technology which is introduction of a new pathway for converting Polystyrene into SSBR. Agilyx is an early market leader in the advanced recycling of post use plastics which are difficult to recycle. Agilyx’s chemical recycling technology includes recycling of mixed plasti...
