In Belgium, Vioneo has awarded Wood a multi-million dollar FEED contract to deliver the front-end engineering design for its revolutionary plant which will produce fossil-free plastics using green methanol. Based in Antwerp, Belgium, the renewably powered and energy efficient plant will be the first facility in the world capable of achieving this at industrial scale.
The plant will have the capacity to produce 300 kilotonnes per annum (ktpa) of high-quality, virgin polyethylene and polypropylene plastics made from green methanol and free of fossil feedstock.
These plastics will be fully traceable, segregated and carbon negative, enabling customers to reduce Scope 3 emissions. In addition, the production of these plastics does not affect the feedstock supply for food production, ensuring the project is sustainable. Wood will apply its extensive experience in delivering sustainable and innovative engineering solutions to large-scale energy transition projects.
