Norway’s Vow to provide Czech Republic’s Unipetrol with pyrolysis testing unit

In Norway, Vow ASA, through its subsidiary ETIA, has been awarded a contract to provide a pyrolysis testing unit for processing of waste plastics and polymers for Unipetrol in the Czech Republic. Unipetrol is a part of PKN ORLEN group, a leading player in the fuels and energy markets.

The plant is planned to be operational during 2020, when it will become a first showcase of ETIA’s Biogreen pyrolysis unit potential for plastic to fuel. In the agreement, ETIA intellectual property is protected, and the outcome of the project will be made available for Vow ASA and its subsidiaries.
