TotalEnergies s'associe aux Etats-Unis dans le recyclage des plastiques

AOF•18/05/2022

TotalEnergies et New Hope Energy ont signé un accord commercial. Dans le cadre de cet accord, New Hope Energy construira une usine de recyclage chimique au Texas pour convertir des déchets plastiques en une matière première recyclée, dont une partie sera vendue à TotalEnergies pour être transformée en polymères aux propriétés identiques à celles des polymères vierges, et notamment compatibles avec l'usage alimentaire.

L'usine de New Hope Energy, dont la mise en service est prévue pour 2025, fera appel à une technologie de pyrolyse brevetée, mise au point en partenariat avec Lummus Technology, pour traiter et transformer plus de 310 000 tonnes par an de déchets plastiques divers, dont une grande partie est aujourd'hui destinée à l'enfouissement et l'incinération.

TotalEnergies traitera 100 000 tonnes de matière première recyclée dans ses unités de production basées au Texas, pour produire des polymères de haute qualité, notamment des contenants alimentaires souples et rigides.

" Nous sommes ravis de nous associer avec New Hope Energy, qui propose à la fois une technologie prometteuse et un projet à grande échelle. C'est une nouvelle étape concrète et significative pour TotalEnergies pour répondre au défi du recyclage des plastiques et cela contribue pleinement à notre ambition de produire 30 % de polymères recyclés et bio à horizon 2030 ", a déclaré Valérie Goff, directrice Polymères de TotalEnergies.

Des "super vers" amateurs de polystyrène, possible clé du recyclage du plastique

AFP•09/06/2022

Matériel d'emballage, couverts jetables, boîtiers de CD: le polystyrène est l'une des formes de plastique les plus courantes, mais son recyclage n'est pas facile et la grande majorité finit dans des décharges ou les océans, menaçant la vie marine. Des scientifiques ont découvert que des "super vers", gourmands de la substance, pourraient se montrer d'une grande aide.

C'est grâce à leurs enzymes intestinales que ces larves des coléoptères Zophobas morio pourraient détenir la clé d'un taux de recyclage plus élevé, selon des chercheurs de l'Université australienne du Queensland.

DOW and Plastogaz pursue the ‘lost resource’

Kirstin Linnenkoper – June 2, 2022

Swiss start-up Plastogaz has found a new way to convert plastic waste into ‘high quality hydrocarbons’ thanks to its proprietary catalytic hydrocracking technology solution.

The ‘advanced’ recycling solution is hailed as a breakthrough for multi-layer and flexible plastics used in packaging. These are usually considered ‘unrecyclable’ and thus often end up being incinerated or landfilled.

In fact, plastic scrap has been called the ‘lost resource’. The World Economic Forum estimates this part of the urban mine could be worth as much as US$ 120 billion (EUR 112 billion) per year.

Platogaz is confident its technology will yield recycled material suitable for food-grade products, unlike with conventional recycling processes. The start-up notes that there is no limit to the number of times the same material may be recycled, meaning it has the potential to eliminate waste from single-use plastic.

Meanwhile, Plastogaz recently received backing from chemical company DOW, which wants to help it ‘recreate virgin-like plastics’. The collaboration is said to mark a milestone in Dow’s ongoing mission to close the loop on plastic waste.

‘We want to change the way the world thinks about plastics – not as something to throw away, but as a product that can be used over and over again, sustainably and without damaging our natural environment,’ comments Plastogaz founder Felix Bobbink.

‘If we want to make long lasting change, we need to work with like-minded and ambitious partners like Dow who have the potential to scale our technology.’

Valoregen and Dow announce plans to build hybrid recycling plant

25 JULY 2022

Valoregen and Dow will partner to build a hybrid site offering mechanical and advanced recycling capacities in France, with Dow to be the main off-taker of post-consumer resins (PCR) from the new plant.


Dow says it will contribute to the construction of the new hybrid recycling site in Damazan, France, which will be owned and operated by Valoregen. The project, which is expected to be operational and delivering recycled materials at the end of Q1 2023, will apparently offer both mechanical and advanced recycling capacities.

Valoregen adds that the ultimate aim of the new site is to recycle all forms of plastic waste in one place. By combining mechanical and advanced recycling in one plant, the companies claim that this will increase energy efficiency and enable a yield greater than 80% using a smart energy management system.

According to the companies, the site will have the capacity to process up to 70 kilotons of plastic waste per year. The companies say that it will be the largest hybrid recycling site in France.

Dow will reportedly be the main recipient of post-consumer resins from the Damazan site, which the company says it will use to develop new plastic products marketed under its REVOLOOP product range.

Fabrice Digonnet, mechanical recycling strategy leader for Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics, comments: “We are delighted to work with Valoregen on this innovative new project that can help give recycling in Europe a real boost. Recycling rates for plastics are still far too low and we need to help scale the technology and ensure a viable market for plastics waste.

“Our investment will help increase mechanical recycling rates and in doing so, help accelerate a circular economy for plastics and reduce carbon emissions. We are excited to offer our investment and expertise on this ground-breaking initiative, while continuing to scale up circularity solutions for our customers.”

Thierry Perez, president of Valoregen, adds: “Dow’s collaboration and trust in Valoregen’s innovative and disruptive model has been key to the project’s success and we are pleased to formalize this partnership.

“Our committed team has developed a concrete, agile solution that contributes to the circular economy of plastics and advances decarbonization. This next generation solution will achieve recycling for high-end technical packaging applications.”

The site has been authorized by the classified installation for the protection of the environment (I.C.P.E. - Installation Classée pour la Protection de l’Environnement). The investment was structured and led by Dow Venture Capital.

Dow recently announced that it will be working with Mura Technology to build multiple advanced recycling facilities in the US and Europe, with the goal of scaling Mura’s HydroPRS technology and adding as much as 600 KT of aggregate advanced recycling capacity annually by 2030.

Lancement de la construction d'un centre de traitement des plastiques d'une capacité de 150 000 tonnes par an aux USA.
Cyclyx International, ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell are building the ‘first-of-its-kind’ plastic waste sorting and processing facility at Houston in Texas. The Cyclyx Circularity Center is scheduled to open doors in 2024 to handle around 150 000 tonnes of scrap per year.

Kirstin Linnenkoper – October 21, 2022


The facility is said to address a ‘critical missing link’ in the plastic waste supply chain by connecting community recycling programmes to advanced recycling technologies that have the potential to take a wider variety of plastic materials.

The cost of the recycling plant is estimated to be US$ 100 million (EUR 102 million), contingent upon a final investment decision in early 2023.

‘To help increase the overall US recycling rate and meet growing customer demand for circular products, more investment is needed by governments and industry to collect and sort waste,’ says Dave Andrew, vice president of new market development at ExxonMobil.

‘With this new facility, we are making a substantial investment in plastic waste sorting infrastructure to accelerate our advanced recycling efforts in Baytown and along the Gulf Coast.’

‘This project serves as proof of how significant the need is for custom-blended plastics feedstock,’ adds Joe Vaillancourt, ceo of Cyclyx. ‘With our capability to accept and process a wide range of waste plastics based on their chemistry profile which we blend to the needs of our customers, we are creating a new set of recycling options for difficult-to-recycle waste plastics that today are sent to landfill.’

ExxonMobil has recycled more than 6 700 tonnes of plastic waste at its Baytown facility. When expansion is complete later this year, it will be among North America’s largest advanced recycling facilities with a capacity to recycle 30 000 tonnes of plastic waste annually. The company has plans to build up to 500 000 tonnes of recycling capacity across different sites around the world by the end of 2026.

Meanwhile, LyondellBasell is striving to produce and market two million tonnes of recycled and renewable-based polymers annually by 2030. Cyclyx is looking to process more than 650 000 tonnes of waste plastic per year by 2026. Cyclyx says it is focused on its mission to help increase the plastics recycling rate from 10% to 90%.

QatarEnergy and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) annoncent la décision finale d'investissement d'un énorme centre industriel de fabrication de polyéthylène et du cracker d'éthyléne associé. 2 millions de tonnes de capacité annuel.
Projet situé dans le golfe du Texas, 8.5 milliards de dollars d'investissement dont 49% venant du Qatar. Le reste est US.
QatarEnergy takes final investment decision on the largest integrated polymers facility in the world

le 17/11/2022 - Europetrole

QatarEnergy and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) announced that they have taken a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Golden Triangle Polymers Plant, an $8.5 billion world-scale integrated polymers facility in the Texas Gulf Coast area in the United States of America.

Located about 180 kilometers east of Houston, the plant will include an ethylene cracker unit with a capacity of 2.08 million tons per annum, making it the largest in the world, and two high-density polyethylene units with a combined capacity of 2 million tons per annum, also making them the largest derivatives units of their kind in the world. Construction of the plant will begin immediately, with an expected startup date in 2026.

The plant will be owned by Golden Triangle Polymers Company LLC, a joint venture in which QatarEnergy holds a 49% equity interest with 51% held by CPChem.

Commenting on the FID, His Excellency Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President and CEO of QatarEnergy said: “We are excited to announce taking the FID on our largest petrochemical investment ever, highlighting QatarEnergy’s integrated position as a major player in the LNG and international exploration sectors, as well as being a global petrochemicals producer.
In addition to complementing QatarEnergy’s growing international portfolio, as well as in the United States, this important project will help meet growing global demand for polymers. It also represents a major step in the implementation of our downstream strategy and the next phase of QatarEnergy’s growth, which includes major investments in ethylene, ethylene derivatives and polymers in general.”

The project, expected to create more than 500 full-time jobs and approximately 4,500 construction jobs, is QatarEnergy’s second largest investment in the U.S. after the $11 billion investment (100% basis) in the Golden Pass LNG production and export facility, which is currently under construction and is expected to start up in late 2024.

Minister Al-Kaabi added: “When added to our existing production in Qatar, this new investment will place QatarEnergy amongst the largest petrochemical producers in the world. It will also significantly expand our footprint in the United States, contributing substantially to the communities of the Golden Triangle region of Texas by generating an estimated $50 billion of net economic impact over 20 years”

Once operational, the plant will produce polyethylene, which is used in the production of durable goods like pipe for natural gas and water delivery and recreational products such as kayaks and coolers. It is also used in essential packaging applications to protect and preserve food, helping prevent it from going to landfills, and keep medical supplies sterile. The polyethylene produced by the project will be sold primarily to Asia, Europe and Latin America.

In concluding his remarks, His Excellency Minister Al-Kaabi said: “This new joint venture builds on our long-term and successful partnership with Chevron Phillips Chemical and we look forward to further collaborations in the future.”

On his part, Mr. Bruce Chinn, the President and CEO of CPChem, said: “Chevron Phillips Chemical and QatarEnergy have collaborated for over 20 years on the assets we operate together in Qatar. We have a great relationship and a proven track record of operating these facilities safely and reliably. Our products make life better for billions of people every day, and they are part of a lower carbon future. This facility will help meet the growing demand for our products and improve the quality of life for the world’s growing global population.”
The project enjoys special environmental and sustainability attributes that would be reflected in about 25% lower greenhouse gas emissions than similar facilities in the United States and Europe.

CPChem will manage engineering, procurement and construction for the project, which will be undertaken by a number of joint ventures and contractors including: Zachry Industrial Inc., T.EN Stone & Weber Process Technology, Inc., PCL Industrial Construction Co., JGC America, Inc., Kiewit Energy Group, Inc., Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc., Emerson Process Management, LLLP, and W.T. Byler Co., Inc. CPChem will also operate the facility after start-up.

Paprec mobilise 15 millions d’euros pour augmenter la production de plastiques recyclés à Verdun
En investissant 15 millions d’euros sur son site de Verdun, dans la Meuse, Paprec Plastiques va plus que doubler sa production de granulés en polypropylène recyclé à l’horizon 2024.

Philippe Bohlinger 09 Février 2023

Image
A Verdun, Paprec produisait jusqu’à présent 12 000 tonnes de polypropylène recyclé par an à partir de déchets industriels. En 2024, sa production devrait passer à 30 000 tonnes.

L’extension des consignes de tri à l’ensemble les emballages ménagers au 1er janvier 2023 incite Paprec à augmenter ses capacités de régénération des plastiques usagés. Le groupe, un des leaders français du recyclage, investit à ces fins 15 millions d’euros sur son site de Verdun, dans la Meuse. Cette unité, rattachée à sa division Paprec Plastiques, est spécialisée dans la production de granulés de polypropylène recyclé (PP recyclé), un plastique qu’on retrouve dans les bacs de crème glacée, les pots de fromage blanc ou encore les petits seaux de peinture. L’usine meusienne va bénéficier d’une extension de 2 800 m², afin d’accueillir de nouvelles capacités d’extrusion à l’horizon 2024. Le site de 48 salariés va recruter parallèlement une dizaine de salariés supplémentaires.

Une usine industrielle va voir le jour en Italie pour du recyclage chimique de PET.
Italian partners drive PET chemical recycling

Robin Latchem – March 17, 2023

Saipem and Garbo have signed an agreement to develop the chemical recycling of PET, with a focus on treating PET-based waste that is currently not recoverable.
The Italian pair will collaborate on what they say is the first chemical plastic recycling plant in Italy on an industrial scale, at Cerano in the province of Novara.

The technology, named ChemPET, is Garbo’s proprietary technology. Through a chemical reaction, the PET becomes bis-hydroxy-ethylene-terephthalate which, once it has been purified, can be returned for PET production. PET based materials recoverable with the ChemPET process include thermoforming scraps and multi-layer trays, opaque bottles (containing fillers such as TiO2, CaCo3, Silica), black trays, PET/PP strapping and polyester/cotton blends.

Fabrizio Botta, Saipem’s Chief Commercial Officer, says: ‘This agreement is in line with Saipem’s strategy in the low carbon industrial segments and it enables us to enrich our portfolio of technologies and solutions for the circular economy and the sustainable chemical industry’.

Guido Fragiacomo, ceo of Garbo, adds: ‘It allows ChemPET to consolidate its technology leadership in crPET through the immediate industrialisation of the two 22.5 kTA units in Cerano and the licensing of the technology on a global scale’.

Saipem is one of the largest global companies serving oilfield operations. Garbo began 25 years ago recovering silicon carbide and polyethylene glycol, both of which are key products for the cutting of silicon wafers used in the production of semiconductors or photovoltaic panels.

Progress with scaling up liquefied waste plastic processing – Neste completed second series of runs at its Porvoo refinery
Neste has concluded its second series of industrial-scale liquefied waste plastic processing runs at the Porvoo refinery.
In total, Neste has processed close to 3,000 tons of liquefied waste plastic to date.


Neste Corporation, Press Release, 31 March 2023

Neste has successfully concluded its second series of industrial-scale processing runs with liquefied waste plastic at its refinery in Porvoo, Finland. The goal of the processing runs is to further increase the company’s understanding of how different types of waste plastics behave during chemical recycling in the refinery processes. The end product gained in the runs – Neste RE™, a drop-in feedstock for petrochemicals – is turned into new plastics by Neste’s partners.

While Neste is establishing large-scale capacities to process liquefied waste plastic at its Porvoo site, the current processing runs utilize existing refinery equipment built for crude oil refining.

Successful conclusion of second series of waste plastic processing runs

Since Neste’s first processing run in 2020, the company has concluded a total of six successful runs, processing close to 3,000 tons of liquefied waste plastic in total. After processing 800 tons in the first series completed in 2022, the company has been able to more than triple that amount to date. The processing runs are a part of Neste’s strategy to advance chemical recycling and contribute to a circular polymers economy.

“We are walking the talk on chemical recycling,” says Heikki Färkkilä, Vice President Chemical Recycling at Neste. “Our processing runs provide us not only with valuable knowledge on the technologies, but also serve as a proof of concept: chemical recycling can be done on an industrial scale. Our focus continues to be getting from individual processing runs to continuous operation.”

Neste processed so called “hard-to-recycle” waste plastic which would have ended up in incineration or landfill had it not been directed to chemical recycling. This highlights how chemical recycling complements existing mechanical recycling technologies.

The liquefied waste plastic for the runs has been sourced from multiple suppliers that are part of a supply network Neste has continuously expanded. Among others, the suppliers include US-based Alterra Energy, in which Neste holds a minority stake, as well as Finland-based Wastewise, with which Neste recently cooperated to chemically recycle cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) waste from pipe production into new PEX pipes.

Moving from individual runs to continuous production

Neste is looking to build capacities at its Porvoo site to process 400,000 tons of liquefied waste plastic per year in the course of project PULSE, which is funded by the EU Innovation Fund. From 2030 onwards, Neste wants to process more than 1 million tons of waste plastic per year.

This ambitious aim is an important part of the company’s strategic study to transition its Porvoo refinery into a renewable and circular solutions site and possibly end crude oil refining by the mid-2030s. Liquefied waste plastic would play an important role in replacing fossil crude oil in the company’s Porvoo refinery.

Neste decides to invest in liquefied waste plastic upgrading unit at its Porvoo refinery
- Investment of 111 million euros
- Important milestone in scaling up chemical recycling
[/b]

Europetrole le 15/06/2023

Neste has made the final investment decision to commence construction of upgrading facilities for liquefied plastic waste at its Porvoo refinery in Finland. With the investment of 111 million euros, Neste will build the capacity to upgrade 150,000 tons of liquefied waste plastic per year. Upgrading is one of the three processing steps turning liquefied waste plastic into high-quality feedstock for new plastics: pretreatment, upgrading and refining. The investment is part of a broader project (PULSE*), which has received an EU Innovation Fund grant of 135 million euros if fully implemented and is targeting a total capacity of 400,000 tons per year.

Pretreatment and upgrading of liquefied waste plastic play an important role in Neste’s approach to chemical recycling. They allow the company to increase flexibility for processing lower-quality plastic waste and scale up processing the liquefied waste plastic into high-quality petrochemical feedstock in its existing refinery in Porvoo.

“We have developed our capability to process circular raw material at the Porvoo refinery over the recent years and are now set to build a respective facility. The new facility processing 150,000 tons of liquefied waste plastic, is planned to be finalized in the first half of 2025,” states Markku Korvenranta, Executive Vice President in Neste’s Oil Products.

The project will see Neste building new assets at the Porvoo refinery, but also leveraging existing assets through retrofitting, to scale-up chemical recycling fast and efficiently. The upgraded liquefied waste plastic will then be processed in the conventional refinery in which it will replace a portion of the fossil resources processed at the Porvoo refinery.

Required preparation works at the Porvoo refinery were successfully completed during the first half of 2023, enabling the construction work to commence without any delay.

Aramco, TotalEnergies, SABIC Get Certification for Plastic Recycling

by Rocky Teodoro|Rigzone Staff|Thursday, July 20, 2023

Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Aramco), TotalEnergies SE, and SABIC have successfully converted oil derived from plastic waste into ISCC Plus-certified circular polymers, they said in a joint news release.

The plastic pyrolysis oil, also called plastic waste-derived oil, was processed at the Saudi Aramco Total Refining & Petrochemical Company (SATORP) refinery jointly owned by Aramco and TotalEnergies, in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The product was then used as a feedstock by PETROKEMYA, a SABIC affiliate, to produce certified circular polymers, according to the release.

The project is the first successful certified conversion from plastic waste in the Middle East and North Africa, the news release said.

ISCC+ certification, which is given by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification, an independent certification organization based in Germany, is a guarantee that the plastic produced went through the proper recycling processes and that the consumption of virgin feedstock is reduced. The certification covers all types of pre- and post-consumer waste and residues, non-bio renewables, and recycled carbon materials and fuels, according to the ISCC website.

The three industrial plants involved in the process, SATORP refinery, Aramco’s Ju'aymah NGL Fractionation Plant, and PETROKEMYA, obtained the ISCC+ certification, according to the release. This enables the production of circular materials, meaning the new plastics produced are made from waste and not from virgin oil or gas.

“This achievement illustrates the importance of the petrochemical sector in creating more sustainable products and solutions”, Aramco’s President of Downstream Mohammed Y. Al Qahtani said. “Our aim is to create circular solutions for plastic waste, while also making progress on our ambition to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions across our wholly-owned operated assets by 2050. By leveraging spare capacity of existing infrastructure, we aim to produce circular products that could be scaled up at low cost. Aramco is considering multiple ways of tapping into new technologies and leveraging existing assets to support the deployment of circular, more sustainable and lower-carbon products.”

“This advanced plastic recycling initiative reflects TotalEnergies’ ambition to concretely contribute to addressing the challenge of end-of-life of plastics”, TotalEnergies President for Refining & Chemicals Bernard Pinatel said. “Several other circular economy projects are being studied, leveraging the partners’ technical expertise and experience to further contribute to plastics recycling. It is a major pathway towards TotalEnergies’ target to produce 30 percent of circular polymers by 2030, and its strategy to build a multi-energy company with the ambition to get to net zero by 2050, together with society.”

“This project is aligned with SABIC’s commitment to avoid landfill and incineration through its innovation competencies and advanced technology”, SABIC EVP Sami Al-Osaimi said. “This project shows collaboration across the petrochemical value chain to overcome upstream and downstream challenges in circular plastics.”

SABIC is a Saudi Arabia-based petrochemical manufacturer that is 70 percent owned by Aramco.
