This can avoid the high carbon emissions associated with fossil fuel-derived plastic, while still supporting the production of propylene and ethylene \u2013 essential components used in various everyday items such as medical equipment, food packaging, automotive parts, personal care products and toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cVioneo&nbsp;aims to help&nbsp;transition&nbsp;the plastics industry by&nbsp;demonstrating&nbsp;that large-scale, cleaner production is economically viable using green methanol as an alternative to fossil fuel. This initiative offers Europe a chance to lead the \u20ac5 trillion chemicals and materials sector&#8217;s&nbsp;defossilisation movement. Our collaboration with Honeywell for our Antwerp production facility marks a key step in our plans to support this transition,\u201d said <strong>Alex Hogan, chief executive officer,&nbsp;Vioneo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Vioneo plans to implement the technology at a new \u20ac1.5 billion plant in Antwerp, Belgium. This facility will use green methanol from renewable energy-based hydrogen and biomaterials and will be powered by renewable electricity. This approach aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and supports the energy transition, one of three compelling&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.honeywell.com\/us\/en\/press\/2023\/10\/honeywell-to-realign-portfolio-to-three-powerful-megatrends-automation-future-of-aviation-and-energy-transition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">megatrends<\/a>&nbsp;to which Honeywell\u2019s portfolio is aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cVioneo\u2019s Antwerp plant has the potential to significantly decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and help position Europe as a leader in lower emissions industrial innovation. We are delighted to be a critical technology partner to this initiative,\u201d said <strong>Rajesh Gattupalli, president of Honeywell UOP. <\/strong>\u201cOur MTO technology helps support the industry&#8217;s commitment to reducing emissions and the European Union&#8217;s ambitious climate goals. This technology will play a crucial role in helping transform the production of olefins, helping advance the shift away from plastics made from fossil-derived feedstocks and supporting a path to a net-zero emissions future for the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Vioneo will also deploy Honeywell\u2019s light olefins recovery process (LORP) and olefins cracking process (OCP) to ensure high-purity ethylene and propylene output while capturing and reusing byproducts. This approach minimizes waste, saves energy, reduces costs and maximizes yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planned development of the Antwerp-based plant will proceed in phases, starting with a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) in the fourth quarter of 2024 and potential Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2025.
