Ammonia production: Australia. (CIP) through its CI Energy Transition Fund I (ETF I), announced it has secured $512 million through the Australian Government’s Hydrogen Headstart program for its Murchison Green Hydrogen project in Western Australia. The Murchison Green Hydrogen project is set to produce approximately 1.8 million tons of green ammonia annually, primarily for export to Asian markets. Link 31/03/2025

Biogas: France. Arkema continues its transformation towards a more sustainable industrial model with the signing of a new, eight-year contract with ENGIE for the supply of biomethane for several Bostik sites in France. This 25 GWh/year contract will cover some 85% of the annual gas consumption of four Bostik sites in France (Coubert, Privas, Ribécourt and Venette), a notable step forward in the decarbonization of the company’s energy supply.

CO2 removal: Sweden. The world’s first large-scale BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) project, deploying Capsol’s capture technology, is now moving into construction as Stockholm Exergi has made a final investment decision (FID). The facility is scheduled to begin operations in 2028, permanently removing 800,000 metric tons of CO2 annually while setting a precedent for negative emissions projects worldwide. In total, Capsol has biomass and energy-from-waste (EfW) projects with a full-scale potential of 7.8 million tons of CO2 in the mature pipeline, translating into significant cost saving potential for plant owners and a Capsol revenue opportunity of EUR 80-115 million based on target licensing revenues of EUR 10-15 per tonne installed capacity.

e-fuels: Denmark. Ammongas, is developing carbon capture (CCU and CCS) technology in southern Denmark via a new CO₂ liquefaction facility at Tønder Biogas – one of the largest biogas plants in Europe. This facility, which is now commissioned, will capture, purify, and liquefy biogenic CO₂. The Kassø facility has the capacity to produce 48,000 tonnes of liquefied CO₂ annually for European Energy’s renewable energy projects. A significant portion of the captured CO₂ will be delivered to European Energy’s Kassø e-methanol facility, where it will be a crucial component in producing e-methanol—a sustainable fuel and chemical essential for decarbonising industry and transportation. By capturing and repurposing biogenic CO₂, the project supports emissions reduction and promotes circularity in renewable energy production. In addition, it serves as a prime example of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU). Link 31/03/2025

Methanol: Germany. In collaboration with CreativeQuantum and Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT), C1 has developed a fundamentally new proprietary homogeneous catalysis for the production of methanol. The C1 process is much more selective than the heterogeneous catalysis currently in use, which dates back to a patent from 1921. It works at significantly lower pressure and temperature, allows for more flexible operations, is more tolerant towards feedstock impurities and scales better. Link 31/03/2025
