Significant Progress Achieved in Europe's First Green Ethylene from Ethanol Production Plant Project

A renewable ethylene manufacturing facility utilizing sustainable ethanol is intended to build and operated by Sylus. This production unit will be located at the Netherlands' Chemelot Industrial Park, Geleen. This will be the first such plant in Europe, with an annual capacity of around 100,000 tonnes, opening the path to an eco-friendlier way of manufacturing plastics.

The plant will depend on Axens' Atol technology, which is known for its high ethylene yields and optimized energy usage, resulting in minimal emissions. The technology produces ethylene of exceptional quality, considered one of the best on the market.

In order to provide ethanol as a raw material for the project to produce ethylene, Syclus has chosen Axens. The Atol technology is extremely effective and energy-efficient, with great product quality and safety performance, aligning with Syclus' mission to create a new benchmark in renewable ethylene. As per the General Director of Syclus, selecting Axens as their partner for the successful design, construction, and operation of the plant is the suited decision made by the company.

Commercial ethylene is widely used as a raw material in the production of various polymers, as well as industrial chemicals like ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, and ethylene dichloride. Moreover, ethylene polymers are also widely employed in manufacturing fibers, bins, bottles, bags, wires, and many other plastic products.
