Ralph Koekkoek, CEO Blue Circle Olefins<\/strong>, comments: \u201cWe are very pleased to partner with Chane for our ProjectNL in Rotterdam, securing an outstanding location for the development and operation of our MTO facility. After a comprehensive evaluation of potential sites, we are confident this location offers the optimal conditions for the project. We are particularly enthusiastic about the synergies available at Chane\u2019s site and its close proximity to our clients in the Port area. This partnership represents an important milestone in our journey, enabling us to move forward with site-specific engineering.\u201d

Fabian Ziegler, CEO of Chane<\/strong> comments: \u201cThis agreement demonstrates how Chane\u2019s terminal infrastructure can support the development of new industrial projects. By hosting Blue Circle Olefins at Chane\u2019s Terminal Nieuwe Maas in the Port of Rotterdam, we are providing a well-connected site with the logistics, storage and operational services required to integrate methanol-based feedstocks efficiently into existing port infrastructure. We look forward to supporting Blue Circle Olefins as the project advances into the next development phase.\u201d

Boudewijn Siemons, CEO at Port of Rotterdam<\/strong>: \u201cThe Port of Rotterdam is facing a unique challenge with the transition to a sustainable port taking centre stage while available space is becoming increasingly scarce. It is therefore excellent news that Blue Circle Olefins has found the right location at the Chane site for the further development of its circular methanol-to-olefins plant. This underlines the strength of the highly integrated Rotterdam port industrial cluster, where companies can collaborate intensively and benefit optimally from each other thanks to their proximity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

About Blue Circle Olefins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blue Circle Olefins is a scale-up that is developing a 200kton Methanol to Olefins (MTO) production facility in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. By 2030 the plant will convert green methanol, produced from mixed plastic waste or agricultural and forestry residues, into respectively carbon recycled and biobased ethylene and propylene. This provides the European chemical industry with fossil free feedstocks for the production of circular plastics. By upcycling waste into virgin quality ethylene and propylene, the full life cycle GHG emissions will be reduced by more than 80% compared to oil-based polyolefins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
