LtdClariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its EnviCat N2O-S nitrous abatement catalyst is performing successfully at Sichuan Lutianhua's nitric acid plant and is projected to reduce annual emissions by 275 kilotons of CO2eq. Sichuan Lutianhua is one of the winners of Clariant's 2021-2022 global Climate Campaign, which offered a free load of the catalyst to nitric acid producers lacking N2O abatement technology. Located in Sichuan Province, China, the 135 KTA nitric acid plant started operating in 2009 with no N2O removal system in place.

Clariant’s MegaMax catalysts will power China’s first biomass-to-green methanol project

Clariant's MegaMax catalysts: Driving sustainable methanol production with superior stability and efficiency. © Clariant Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its MegaMax catalyst was selected for a China’s biomass gasification-to-green methanol project. The plant will use a combination of farm waste and wind power to produce up to 250,000 tons per annum of green methanol in two phases by 2027. Construction of the first plant phase began in March 2024 and is expected to start producing green methanol in the first half of 2025 as China’s first commercialized biomass gasification-to-green methanol plant.

Clariant EnviCat N2O-S catalyst to cut CO2eq by 690,000 tons/year at Hengli’s nitric acid plant in China

Clariant EnviCat N2O-S catalyst removes nitrous oxide (N2O) from the off-gas of nitric acid (HNO3) plants. © Clariant Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced the successful installation of its EnviCat N2O-S catalyst at the nitric acid plant of Hengli Petrochemical. EnviCat N2O-S was installed as part of Clariant’s global Climate Campaign, which offered a free load of the N2O removal catalyst to nitric acid producers with no abatement technology. One of the winners of the campaign is Hengli which operates a 300,000 metric ton per annum nitric acid plant in Dalian, China. With the successful installation of the catalyst in June 2024, the plant is projected to reduce its N2O emissions by 690,000 tons of CO2eq annually.

Clariant upgrades its syngas catalyst portfolio to improve customers´ sustainability and profitability

ReforMax LDP Plus Catalysts. © Clariant Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its new Plus series syngas catalysts have been successfully introduced to the market. Over the past five years, the company upgraded its portfolio of syngas catalysts, launching ReforMax LDP Plus, ShiftMax 217 Plus, and AmoMax 10 Plus catalysts. Based on their renowned forerunners, the new catalysts were designed as drop-in solutions to improve plant economics and reduce carbon emissions. These benefits have now been demonstrated in commercial use with highly favorable results.
