From technical optimization to creating market confidence, addressing these barriers is essential if pyrolysis is to reduce plastic pollution and advance circularity.  http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/03/braskem-siam-partners-with-mitr-phol-bio-fuel-to-use-ethanol-to-produce-bio-ethylenepolyethylene/ Braskem Siam and Braskem signed a Letter of Intent with Mitr Phol Bio Fuel to supply agricultural-based ethanol for the production of bio-ethylene and bio-based polyethylene http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/03/lummus-technology-resynergi-announce-commercialization-of-microwave-powered-plastic-pyrolysis-technology/ Lummus Technology and Resynergi announced the commercialization of Resynergi's Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis Modules, which converts plastic waste into circular pyrolysis products significantly faster and more efficiently than traditional pyrolysis methods. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/02/the-european-chemical-industry-is-becoming-extinct-an-open-letter-from-ineos-ceo-sir-jim-ratcliffe/ The chemical industry in Europe has been hugely important to the success of the European economy over the last century. With revenues of around one trillion euros, it is similar in size to the automotive sector. But chemicals in Europe is facing extinction. Government policies have resulted in enormously high energy prices and crippling carbon tax bills. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/02/egypt-signs-framework-agreement-to-build-7-b-petrochemical-complex-in-new-alamein-city/ The Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources signed a framework agreement with the UK-based Shard Capital for the development of a $7-B petrochemical complex in New Alamein City, Egypt.
