Demand for green projects in the petrochemicals market

The use and generation of fuels and raw materials from renewable sources has become increasingly in vogue in the industrial environment. There has been substantial research and investment toward producing products derived from ‘green’ materials, particularly in the petrochemicals industry. An example is Braskem, which will shortly start up its first unit producing ethylene from ethanol. Chemtech, which designed the control systems for the new plant, has its own green portfolio focused on cost efficiency and process optimization.
