Neste通过新收购扩大可持续燃料前景

    中国石化新闻网讯 据1月5日Trade Arabia消息：可再生燃料的领先供应商Neste收购了创新化学回收技术公司Alterra Energy的少数股权。

    两家公司之间的合作将包括联合技术开发和全球技术许可，使合作伙伴能够在欧洲将Alterra专有的热化学液化技术商业化。

    Alterra公司的技术可以将来自不同消费来源的塑料废弃物液化成类似原油的物质。这种材料可以被像Neste这样的公司灵活地加工和升级为高质量的聚合物和化学品生产原料。

    两家公司正在共同努力，在全球范围内首次推广Alterra的液化技术，并将重点放在欧洲，欧洲是向塑料价值链全面循环转变的全球过渡中的领先市场。为此，两家公司旨在加速采用化学回收利用，并提高将难以回收的塑料废物转化为高质量，高性能聚合物和化学品的能力。两家公司的合作支持了Alterra Energy的目标，即在2021年开始在欧洲建设最先进的液化场。

    Alterra在俄亥俄州阿克伦市的现有工业规模的废塑料液化厂生产的商业产品可以精制并升级为用于塑料和化工产品的高质量原料。加上Neste的提炼能力，面向全球可持续发展的品牌就可以开始在其产品和服务中引入可回收的内容。

    与Alterra Energy的合作加强了Neste的合作伙伴生态系统，旨在加快向循环塑料经济的过渡。它通过支持一些领先公司将有前途的技术商业化，表明了我们致力于继续发展化学回收行业的承诺。这一合作伙伴关系也支持了Neste在化学回收基础上建立新业务增长的目标，同时标志着我们朝着从2030年起处理超过100万吨塑料垃圾的目标又迈出了重要的一步。”Neste负责可再生聚合物和化学品的执行副总裁Mercedes Alonso表示。

    Alterra首席执行官Frederic Sc​​hmuck称：“与Neste-Alterra的伙伴关系将全部释放循环经济的潜力，将我们的技术带给世界各地更多的合作伙伴，从而创造一个更清洁的地球。”

    Neste expands sustainable fuel outlook with new acquisition

    Neste, a leading provider of renewable fuel, has acquired a minority stake in Alterra Energy, an innovative chemical recycling technology company.

    The collaboration between the companies will include joint technology development and global technology licensing, enabling the partners to collaborate in commercialising Alterra’s proprietary thermochemical liquefaction technology in Europe.

    Alterra’s technology enables a broad range of plastic waste streams from diverse post-consumer sources to be liquefied into a material similar to crude oil. Such material can be flexibly processed and upgraded by companies like Neste into high-quality feedstock for polymers and chemicals production.

    The companies are working together towards a global rollout of Alterra’s liquefaction technology with a strong initial focus on Europe, a leading market in the global transition towards making plastics value chains fully circular. With this, the companies aim to accelerate the adoption of chemical recycling and develop capacity to turn hard-to-recycle plastic waste into high-quality, high-performance polymers and chemicals. The collaboration of the companies supports Alterra Energy’s target of commencing the construction of a state-of-the-art liquefaction site in Europe during 2021.

    Alterra’s existing industrial-scale waste plastics liquefaction plant in Akron, Ohio produces commercial volumes that can already be refined and upgraded into high-quality feedstock for plastics and chemicals. This, together with Neste’s refining capability, enables sustainability-oriented brands globally to start introducing recycled content into their products and offerings.

    “Collaboration with Alterra Energy strengthens Neste’s ecosystem of partnerships that are aimed at accelerating the transition to a circular plastics economy. It demonstrates our commitment to continue developing the chemical recycling industry by supporting some of the leading companies in commercializing promising technologies. This partnership also supports Neste’s aim of building new business growth based on chemical recycling, while marking another significant step towards our target of processing more than one million tons of plastic waste from 2030 onwards,” says Mercedes Alonso, Executive Vice President, Renewable Polymers and Chemicals at Neste.

    “The Neste-Alterra partnership will unlock the full potential of the circular economy, bringing our technology to more partners around the world, creating a cleaner planet,” said Alterra’s CEO Frederic Schmuck. “Neste is a world leader in renewable and circular solutions and its endorsement of Alterra's proprietary process is both extremely rewarding and validating.”
