In Texas, Again is developing a new facility to convert waste CO₂ into reusable chemical products and bring sustainable chemical manufacturing to Texas.
Based in Texas City, the commercial facility is part of Again’s mission to enable the decarbonization of the petrochemical industry. The first-of-a-kind commercial plant will recycle waste CO₂ emissions from a tenant at the Diamond Infrastructure Solutions (Diamond) Texas City industrial park into sustainable chemicals, fertilizers and building blocks for products, including plastics and other materials such as acetic acid, a base chemical used in adhesives, solvents, plastics, textiles and cosmetics.
Again’s novel biomanufacturing technology feeds waste CO₂ gases directly into industrial bioreactors, where bacteria ferment it with hydrogen. This results in low-emission, industry-grade chemicals which are sold to customers at market-competitive prices. Again co-locates its facilities with industrial companies and sources the CO₂ directly onsite to minimize energy-demanding CO₂ transport.
