In the UAE, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC – Masdar, Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation and INPEX CORPORATION reached an agreement last month to conduct a joint feasibility study for a carbon recycle chemicals project including production of the world’s first commercial-scale polypropylene produced from CO2 and green hydrogen in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The feasibility study will be conducted to explore the feasibility of a commercial scale CRC Project to produce polypropylene from e-methanol via propylene. The scope of the feasibility study includes project economics and measurement of CO2 emission reduction as well as an integrated process review from the procurement of feedstock materials including hydrogen production and CO2 collection to the production of e-methanol, propylene, and polypropylene.
