Koppí¶ Energia picks Thyssenkrupp for Finnish P2X project
Koppö Energia Oy has chosen uhde green methanol technology and ordered a FEED (Front End Engineering Design) from thyssenkrupp Uhde. The planned e-methanol plant is part of a power-to-x (P2X) project developed by Koppö Energia in Kristinestad, Finland. With a planned capacity of 450 metric tons per day (mtpd) of e-methanol in various grades, the different product grades will support the maritime and e-gasoline fuel markets. Koppí¶ Energia Oy has selected uhde green methanol technology and commissioned a FEED from thyssenkrupp Uhde for its e-methanol plant in Kristinestad, Finland. The 450 mtpd facility will support maritime and e-fuel markets using COâ‚‚ from Vaasa and green hydrogen from a 200MW electrolyser, aiming for high efficiency and low carbon intensity. Nadja Håkansson, CEO of thyssenkrupp Uhde: 'We are proud that our technology and implementation know-how will contribute to this pioneering project by Koppö Energia Oy. This is an excellent proof point for cross-industrial cooperation in the establishment of green methanol as a fuel.' While grey methanol is usually produced from natural gas, green methanol – often called e-methanol – is produced via direct hydrogenation of CO2. Using uhde green methanol production technology and green hydrogen produced from green electricity and water, the resulting e-methanol has a much lower carbon footprint. The necessary renewable hydrogen will be produced by a 200MW water electrolysis plant. CO2 will be captured in the city of Vaasa in Finland from a waste incineration facility. It is then liquified and transported via trucks to the P2X facilities. Thomas Zirngibl, Director at Koppö Energia: 'We are very pleased to cooperate with thyssenkrupp Uhde on this project as they bring the right technologies as well as the integration skills for ensuring a smooth tie-in and project delivery.' Economic and ecological advantages uhde green methanol technology offers high carbon and hydrogen efficiencies which enhance the project revenues and its feasibility. Thanks to the patented process scheme, thyssenkrupp Uhde methanol plants have a very low amount of purge gas which significantly reduces the carbon intensity of the facility.

UIF partners with India's Praj Industries for PLA production tech
thyssenkrupp Uhde's polymer specialists Uhde Inventa-Fischer (UIF), a subsidiary of the global leader in chemical engineering and construction, and Praj Industries Limited (PIL), a global leader in industrial biotechnology solutions, announced a strategic partnership to jointly offer an end-to-end integrated technology for the production of Polylactic Acid (PLA). This strategic partnership offers a unique, seamless solution that sets them apart in the arena of bioplastics. thyssenkrupp Uhde's UIF and Praj Industries have formed a strategic partnership to deliver end-to-end technology for Polylactic Acid (PLA) production. Merging expertise in chemical engineering and biotechnology, they aim to offer cost-effective, sustainable bioplastic solutions. The partnership supports a circular economy and adapts to diverse feedstocks, boosting global PLA adoption. The indiscriminate use of fossil-based plastics and the often irresponsible disposal, especially of single-use plastics (SUPs), call for urgent, innovative, and sustainable solutions. Polylactic acid (PLA), as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics holds significant potential in advancing a circular bioeconomy. To meet this global need, PIL and UIF are leveraging their combined expertise in industrial biotechnology and chemical engineering to enhance PLA technology, ensuring efficient, cost-effective and sustainable production processes. Nadja Håkansson, CEO thyssenkrupp Uhde: 'We see a perfect match of two world-leading technologies: Uhde's PLAneo process can now be offered as an integrated solution with Praj Industries' lactic acid production. Together, we can design and deliver complete PLA plants. Our joint vision is a competitive solution to replace conventional plastics with sustainable alternatives.' Dr. Pramod Chaudhari, Founder Chairman, at Praj Industries: 'Praj's Bioprism portfolio for renewable chemicals and materials, with a focus on bioplastics, underscores our commitment to a sustainable future. Our strategic partnership with Uhde marks a significant step in driving the global shift toward a circular economy by enabling cost-effective biomanufacturing and the establishment of biorefineries. With our award-winning proprietary PLANERA-technology and this collaboration, we aim to tackle the challenges posed by fossil-based plastics and contribute to a more sustainable planet with innovative, bio-based solutions.' The partnership will be able to offer an end-to-end integrated technology, covering the entire PLA production process from feedstock conversion to polymer production. Different grades of Lactic acid can be produced from this technology which find applications in food and industrial sectors. A broad range of PLA grades can be produced, addressing the diverse requirements of various industries such as packaging, textiles, and hygiene supplies. Both companies have a strong global presence, enabling them to deliver innovative solutions to customers worldwide and adapt to practically any agricultural feedstock containing either starch or sugar, including second generation feedstocks based on non-food raw materials. A shared commitment to sustainability drives the partnership, focusing on developing environmentally friendly and socially responsible solutions. Praj recently inaugurated India's first-of-its-kind 'Demonstration Facility for Biopolymers' near Pune, India, where it is producing lactic acid and lactide. This facility will serve as a crucial platform for testing and validating the joint offering, enabling the partners to showcase the potential of PLA and accelerate its commercialization.
