6th February, 2025 Johnson Matthey (JM) – a global leader in sustainable technologies – and Bosch a leading supplier to the automotive industry – have today agreed terms to accelerate future projects together. The agreement confirms both parties’ intentions to develop and produce catalyst coated membranes (CCM) for use in fuel cell stacks. Transforming and […]
Blue hydrogen has emerged as a crucial technology for decarbonisation as nations around the world work towards net-zero carbon targets. By decarbonising hydrogen production and exploring clean hydrogen sources we can fully harness the potential of hydrogen in the global energy transition. Johnson Matthey, Topsoe and Casale report on their strategies and advanced technical solutions for large scale blue hydrogen production.
Johnson Matthey technology selected for one of the largest planned e-methanol plants in Europe Reolum project represents the fifth win contributing to JM’s strategic milestone of 20 sustainable technologies project wins by the end of 2025/26 JM has won 15 major energy transition projects since 1st April 2022 Sustainable energy project to operate in region […]
Venkat Pattabathula, a member of the AIChE Ammonia Safety Committee, reports on the American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ (AIChE) Safety in Ammonia Plants and Related Facilities Symposium held in San Diego on 8-12 September 2024.
Hanwha Corporation and INEOS Nitriles have announced their intention to collaborate in a study for a new low-carbon ammonia facility with carbon sequestration in the USA, with a capacity of more than 1 million tonnes per annum. The location of the plant is yet to be determined. The two companies have agreed heads of terms, under which Hanwha and INEOS will jointly explore the feasibility of a facility to meet the growing global demand for ammonia with low-carbon emissions. A final investment decision is planned for 2026 with planned commercial operation in 2030.
Pres-Vac Engineering's innovative high-velocity methanol valves offers shipbuilders unique options in creating more efficient and compliant dual-fuel systems.
Johnson Matthey's latest KATALCO™ 71-7F high temperature shift catalyst with its robust shape provides lower lifetime pressure drop.
BASF, SABIC, and Linde have jointly inaugurated the world’s first demonstration plant for large-scale electrically heated steam cracking furnaces at BASF’s Verbund site in Ludwigshafen, following three years of development, engineering, and construction work. The three companies signed a joint agreement to develop and electrically heated steam cracking furnaces in March 2021.
Large-scale ammonia cracking technology and catalysts will enable the full potential of ammonia to be realised as industries transition towards low carbon energy. In this feature we report on the current status of ammonia cracking processes and catalysts.
New blue production schemes are available to meet the need to significantly reduce the overall carbon intensity of high-volume hydrogen and ammonia production for a large-scale emerging market. KBR, Air Liquide, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Casale and Johnson Matthey report on their latest technologies.
