Reducing the utilization of fossil sources for fuel and chemical production
In order to fight global warming, we need alternative and innovative fuels and chemicals obtained, for example, through a circular model where waste is finally considered a valuable feedstock. Leveraging MAIRE know-how in hydrotreating and hydrocracking, we are now applying our expertise to offer bio-fuels (e.g. SAF), synthetic fuels and chemicals (e.g. methanol, ethanol), e-fuels and chemicals.
OFFERING
NX Circular
Waste-to-x
Chemical conversion of carbon and hydrogen contained in waste (non-recyclable plastics, RDF and dry fraction) by partial oxidation and subsequent purification to low carbon syngas. This technology is applied for "Waste-to-X" solutions converting the syngas produced into circular chemicals and fuels bridging two sectors such as waste management & chemicals and fuels manufacturing, with substantial CO2 savings from avoided waste incineration while decarbonizing the downstream sectors.
→ NX Circular Methanol
Waste-to-methanol solution aims to produce circular methanol as sustainable maritime fuel.
→ NX Circular Ethanol
Waste-to-ethanol solution aims to produce circular ethanol as fuel or as feedstock for circular chemicals (e.g. polyethylene).
→ NX Circular SAF
Waste-to-SAF solution leverages on syngas conversion to circular Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).
→ NX Circular Ammonia / Urea
Waste-to-Ammonia / UREA solution integrates Stamicarbon proprietary technology for syngas conversion to Ammonia or Urea.
NX Purify
Renewable Fuels
Purification of contaminants present in bio-derived fats, oils and greases via hydro-treatment and/or silica absorption for further upgrading to renewable diesel and SAF.
This innovative solution is capable to treat complex mixtures of lipids unlocking new cheaper feedstocks for production of renewable fuels and unprecedent financial performance for fuels producers.
→ NX Purify Fuels
Production of Renewable Diesel and SAF as treatment of fats, oils and greases for further hydrogenation and/or hydrocracking to SAF and RD.
NX SAF
Sustainable Aviation Fuels
Hydrogenation of fats, oils and greases to renewable diesel and further hydrocracking to SAF. The technology is offered in 4 sizes at relatively small scale: 30, 60, 90 and 120kton/y.
This solution represents the best available technology for Small production of SAF, unlocking the opportunity of a sustainable aviation industry.
NX SynG
Syngas
The Catalytic Partial Oxidation (CPO) is a revolutionary technology for production of syngas via direct natural gas oxidation.
This technology leads to 40-50% lower emissions for hydrogen production compared to classic SMR and lower costs due to its compact design and simple process.
The versatility of this solution makes it suitable to cover a wide range of applications including low carbon hydrogen, ammonia and synfuels.
→ NX SynG SynFuels
High-yield low-carbon fuels production: applied as performance enhancer for Fischer Tropsch processes for synfuels/synchemicals production.
Our world is being impacted by powerful trends that are reshaping it and go into the core of our daily lives.
