MAIRE announces that NEXTCHEM, through its subsidiary NextChem Tech, thanks to its expertise in chemistry and electrochemistry, has launched a new model for “e-Factory for carbon-neutral Chemistry”, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.
This model is powered by the signature of a cooperation agreement with newcleo to develop, on an exclusive basis, a conceptual study for carbon-neutral hydrogen production thanks to an innovative clean and safe nuclear technology.
Additionally, Tecnimont (Integrated E&C Solutions BU) will provide high-level consultancy services for newcleo’s plan for the implementation of an innovative power plant based on newcleo’s LFR-AS-200 technology, a Small Modular Lead-cooled Fast Reactor fueled with MOX fuel thanks to Tecnimont’s state-of-the-art modularization approach to optimize construction and planning methodology, reducing time and costs.
This approach will enable the production of electrolytic hydrogen and sustainable chemicals including carbon-neutral ammonia, methanol, e-fuels and derivatives, in line with the recent European Union’s decision to include innovative Gen-IV nuclear technology like the newcleo one within the perimeter of EU Taxonomy of environmentally sustainable economic activities.
Alessandro Bernini, MAIRE CEO, commented: “With this agreement, MAIRE confirms its commitment to foster decarbonization and green chemistry through a wide range of technological solutions. By creating carbon-neutral chemistry models based on safe, reliable and competitive energy supply, we will accelerate the industrialization of the energy transition.
We remind, MAIRE announces that NEXTCHEM, through its biodegradable plastics technology licensor CONSER, has been awarded technology licensing and catalyst supply by a prominent client, as part of a larger project located in Northwestern China, said the company. The scope of work entails licensing, process design package for CONSER proprietary Duetto technology and technical assistance during project execution, up to commissioning and start-up. As part of the agreement, CONSER will also supply the hydrogenation catalyst.
