Norsk e-Fuel AS, a pioneer in Power-to-Liquid (PtL) technology, and Braskem, a global leader in polymers and biopolymers, have announced a strategic collaboration to explore the possible integration of e-Naphtha into the plastics value chain. This partnership aims to accelerate the development of plastics derived from carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, reinforcing both companies\u2019 commitment to a circular future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norsk e-Fuel is driving the industrial rollout of PtL technology by building large-scale facilities that convert fossil-free electricity, water, and captured CO\u2082 into synthetic fuels and feedstocks. The company\u2019s plan foresees at least three plants in operation by 2032, with a combined annual capacity of more than 200,000 tons of e-Fuels. Around a quarter of this output could be supplied as e-Naphtha \u2013 a versatile feedstock used to produce plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braskem\u2019s sustainability strategy, \u201cKeeping Carbon in the Loop\u201d, focuses on retaining carbon within products and the economy through renewable, circular, and carbon-optimized solutions. The company already produces I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based polyethylene at an industrial scale\u2014a renewable plastic made from sugarcane ethanol\u2014and offers mass balance certified solutions for markets where segregated routes are not yet feasible. By potentially processing e-Naphtha into polypropylene and other essential materials, Braskem aims to expand its portfolio with innovative plastics that could have a significantly reduced climate footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201ce-Naphtha is more than a by-product; it is a valuable feedstock for creating long-lasting, circular products,\u201d said Lars Bj\u00f8rn Larsen, CCO of Norsk e-Fuel.<\/strong> \u201cBy capturing carbon and embedding it into durable, recyclable materials, we keep carbon in use and out of the atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlastics are essential to modern life, and by producing them with captured carbon, we keep that carbon in the economy\u2014not in the air,\u201d said Walmir Soller, Vice President for North America, Europe, and Asia (NAMEA) and CEO of Braskem BV.<\/strong> \u201cThis collaboration reflects our commitment to innovation and to building value chains that enable circularity and carbon neutrality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration will focus on developing a framework for integrating e-Naphtha into plastic production, assessing market opportunities, and engaging with customers seeking circular solutions. It also highlights the role of carbon capture utilization (CCU) in creating new value chains for the plastics industry, circulating carbon through products, not emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
