MOSCOW (MRC) -- Britain's Infinite Power announced it has signed a letter of intent with Marubeni's Nuclear Fuel Dept of Japan to seek potential markets to use the firm's power cell technology in Japan, said Reuters.
Infinite Power has developed power cells which operate in a similar way to solar cells, but instead of converting the sun's rays into electricity Infinite Power's cells convert the radiation wave emitted from a radioisotope, which is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, into electricity.
Inifinite Power said last month it was seeking to raise 25 million pounds (USD32 million) to construct its first production facility in Britain to make the power cells to provide clean energy to industry.
Discussions are ongoing with investors in the United States and Britain, the firm said.
As per MRC, Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPP), through one of its affiliates, has entered a long-term agreement with Marubeni Corp. of Japan, under which Marubeni will offtake polymer-grade propylene (PGP) produced from a second propane dehydrogenation plant (PDH 2) currently under construction at EPP’s operations in Mont Belvieu, Tex., for supply to global customers.
We remind that Russia's output of products from polymers grew in August 2020 by 4.1% year on year. However, this figure increased by 1.9% year on year in the first eight months of 2020, reported MRC analysts. According to the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, August production of unreinforced and non-combined films rose to 126,300 tonnes from 118,200 tonnes a month earlier. Output of films products grew in January-August 2020 by 8.3% year on year to 863,200 tonnes. August production of non-porous polymer boards, sheets and films exceeded 38,700 tonnes versus 36,400 tonnes in July. Thus, overall output of these products reached 271,900 tonnes over the stated period, up by 3.5% year on year.
