Lummus Technology and Citroniq Chemicals have signed licensing and engineering agreements for green polypropylene plants in the US.
The first plant, scheduled for completion in 2027, will produce 400 kta of bio-polypropylene and will be first in North America with this production capability.
"This agreement demonstrates the progress we continue to make with Citroniq in establishing the first world-scale sustainable bio-polypropylene production process in North America," said Romain Lemoine, chief business officer of Polymers and Petrochemicals, Lummus Technology.
"Combining Lummus' leadership in polypropylene licensing with Citroniq's carbon negative production capabilities will help us meet the growing demand for bio-polypropylene and accelerate the decarbonisation of the downstream energy industry."
"Citroniq's four-plant bio-polypropylene licensing agreement with Lummus Technology is a testament of our commitment to bring sustainable plastics at world-class scale to the marketplace," said Mel Badheka, president & co-founder of Citroniq Chemicals.
In April, Lummus and Citroniq formed a partnership to develop four green polypropylene plants in North America using Lummus' Verdene™ polypropylene technology suite. The licensing and engineering agreements announced today are for the first of the four plants.
