Toyo Engineering has won a contract from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) to begin a feasibility study for green ammonia production in Indonesia, under a collaboration with Pupuk Indonesia Holding (PIHC) and Pupuk Iskandar Muda (PIM), a subsidiary of PIHC, said Apic-online.
Toyo will study the feasibility of green ammonia production at PIM's exiting fertilizer plants, and plans to develop a competitive green ammonia production plant by modifying the existing facility in the most optimum way, and selecting a renewable energy power source, Toyo noted.
As per MRC, Toyo Engineering and SCG Chemicals in Thailand entered into a MOU relating to the joint collaboration for improving the process of turning mixed post-consumer plastics into recycled feedstock for petrochemical businesses.
Ethylene and propylene are feedstocks for producing polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).
According to MRC's ScanPlast report, Russia's estimated PE consumption totalled 2,265,290 tonnes in the first eleven months of 2021, up by 14% year on year. Shipments of all grades of ethylene polymers increased. At the same time, PP shipments to the Russian market were 1,363,850 tonnes in January-November, 2021, up by 25% year on year. Supply of homopolymer PP and block-copolymers of propylene (PP block copolymers) increased, whereas supply of injection moulding PP random copolymers decreased significantly.
