LyondellBasell (LYB) and its joint venture partner Covestro has started a large investment project at their site in Maasvlakte-Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The circular steam project incorporates an innovative technology into the existing production plant to convert its water-based waste into energy.
The new installation will take the site’s existing production process to a higher level of efficiency and sustainability, resulting in an overall annual reduction of ca. 140,000 metric tons CO2 emissions, 0.9 Petajoule of energy and avoiding the release of 11 million kilograms of salt residue into the surface water.
The project is an important contribution to the Dutch government’s CO2 reduction targets.
LyondellBasell and Covestro will build a new bio plant and incinerator on the Maasvlakte site, in which the production’s waste will be treated and transformed into steam.
