Solvay & Peróxidos JV enhances Chile production capabilities
USD 12 million will be invested for the installation of a section that will allow for increased competitiveness through the expansion of the product portfolio manufactured at this unit and serving all segments of the Andean market. This strategic initiative reinforces Peróxidos' commitment to sustainability, contributing to the progressive reduction of CO2 emissions in the production process. With the permitting fully completed and approved, construction will begin in the second half of this year and is expected to be finalized in 2026.
Peróxidos do Brasil, a Solvayâ€'PQM joint venture, will invest $12 million in its Chilean hydrogen peroxide plant to expand its product portfolio and boost competitiveness in the Andean market. The project, starting in late 2025 and completing in 2026, supports sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions and reinforces the company's commitment to innovative, eco-friendly solutions.
This investment in the Coronel plant reflects Peróxidos' continuous and long-term commitment to bringing more innovative, sustainable and competitive solutions to the South American market and our mission to remain the preferred partner for our customers," comments Guilherme Silva, CEO of Peróxidos do Brasil.
Given its versatility and oxidizing properties, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an essential input for a wide range of markets, such as the pulp and paper, aquaculture, electronics, packaging and mining sectors. It stands out as an inherently sustainable product due to its molecular structure and environmentally compatible decomposition. When it breaks down, it forms water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) elements that naturally reintegrate the environment without generating residues or byproducts.

Will Google sell its Chrome browser? AI start-up Perplexity offers Rs 2880000000000 to buy it
Will Google sell its Chrome browser? AI start-up Perplexity offers Rs 2880000000000 to buy it The world's most popular web browser, Google Chrome, might soon have a new owner. Perplexity, an AI-based search company, has made a surprise offer of USD 34.5 billion (around Rs. 2.88 lakh crore) to buy Chrome. The offer was sent directly to Alphabet, Google's parent company, without any prior talks. According to reports from The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg , Perplexity made this move at a time when Google is under pressure in the US to break its monopoly. Last year, a federal judge ruled that Google holds an illegal monopoly in internet search. The US government is now considering forcing Google to sell the Chrome browser and license its search data to competitors. Judge Amit Mehta is expected to announce a final decision on these measures soon. What is Perplexity's plan? Perplexity, valued at USD 18 billion, says it has secured full financial backing from several major investment funds for this deal. The company's Chief Business Officer, Dmitry Shevelenko, confirmed that multiple large funds have agreed to finance the entire transaction. This isn't Perplexity's first bold mov, earlier, it had even proposed merging TikTok's US operations with its own. How Perplexity plans to change Chrome Perplexity is preparing to launch its own AI-powered browser called Comet . The company claims that if it buys Chrome, it won't make any 'hidden changes,' ensuring user trust and stability. It has also promised to invest USD 3 billion in Chrome and its open-source version, Chromium, over the next two years, while retaining most of the current Chrome team. Will Google agree with Perplexity plan? It's still unclear whether Google will accept the offer. For Google, Chrome is not just a browser, it's a crucial pillar of its search and advertising business. However, if pressure from US courts increases, the situation could change, turning this into one of the biggest surprises in tech industry history.

Brazil's Lula says proposal to regulate social media platforms is ready
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Tuesday that a proposal to regulate social media platforms in the country is ready and will be sent to Congress. In an interview with news outlet BandNews, Lula said the proposal will be on his desk on Wednesday afternoon, so the government can send it to Congress. U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on imports of Brazilian goods this month, linking the move to a "witch hunt" against former President Jair Bolsonaro and "unfair trade practices" by Brazil, particularly on U.S. companies' digital trade. Lula said he hopes to one day meet Trump and that they can talk in a civilised way, as two heads of state. The Brazilian leader on Tuesday said that he had sent a letter to Trump inviting him to global climate summit COP30, which is set to be held in Brazil later this year. Lula also said that next week he plans to call leaders from France, Germany and the European Union to speak about the deal being discussed between the EU and South American bloc Mercosur.
