Last year, BASF, Sabic and Linde announced that they had signed an agreement that would see the three companies collaborate on the development and demonstration of solutions for electrically heated ...

A research group has developed an efficient process for breaking down any plastic waste to a molecular level. The resulting gases can then be transformed back into new plastics - of the same quality ...

Sodium and iron oxides are known to be coke promoters, and when present, they can inhibit the run time of the ethylene furnaces before decoking is necessary, and in some cases, diminish the life of ...

Dow and Shell are teaming up to collaborate on low-carbon technology for a sustainable future, the companies have announced. The two have entered into a joint development agreement to accelerate ...

China’s Sinopec has developed a new technology to create petrochemical products while simultaneously reducing emissions. Steam cracking works by skipping the standard crude oil refining process by ...

BASF (OTCQX:BASFY), Linde (NASDAQ:LIN) and SABIC said Wednesday they launched the world's first demonstration plant for large-scale electrically heated steam cracking furnaces, after three years of ...

SAN FRANCISCO A team of molecular biologists and materials scientists said Monday they had genetically engineered a virus to convert methane to ethylene more efficiently and at a significantly lower ...

The oxidative coupling of methane into ethylene is one of the knottiest problems in all of petrochemistry. Some of the biggest names in the field—including Union Carbide and Arco—tried, but they ...
