Clariant's ShiftMax™ 100 RE catalyst powers INERATEC´s groundbreaking e-Fuels plant
Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its ShiftMax 100 RE catalyst is powering INERATEC's advanced e-Fuels production plant, “ERA ONE” in the industrial park Frankfurt Hoechst, Germany. The facility, officially opening on June 3, will recycle approximately 8,000 tons of CO₂ annually and transform it into up to 2,500 tons of synthetic fuels and waxes. This production capacity represents one of the largest Power-to-Liquids operations globally, positioning both companies at the forefront of sustainable fuel technology innovation.
Lorena Oviol, Head of Applied Catalyst Technology at Clariant Catalysts, unveils how to achieve real impact by maximizing plant performance with catalysts. Her revelations about the fusion of human expertise and cutting-edge technology will prove invaluable for anyone seeking to understand how catalyst optimization offers a competitive advantage.
Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced the successful startup of its MegaMax 900 methanol synthesis catalyst at European Energy’s e-methanol plant. Located in Kasso, Denmark, the facility is one of the world’s first and, up to now, largest commercial e-methanol plant, using biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen to produce up to 42,000 tons of green methanol annually. Clariant's Applied Catalyst Technology (ACT) technical service team provided on-site support throughout the startup procedure, overseeing the catalyst loading, reduction, and startup. MegaMax 900 is operating with excellent activity and stability despite the challenging conditions of CO2-to-methanol conversion.
Clariant has announced a significant milestone in its commitment to sustainability transparency and customer support. Since January 2025, the Product Carbon Footprints data (PCFs) for a large part of its Care Chemicals products are available for download on ClariHub, the company's digital customer platform.
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.
