Vioneo shifts green methanol-based polypropylene plant to China instead of Belgium

January 19, 2026 |

In China, Vioneo is proceeding with a more effectual production plant, located in China near green methanol supply, as its first commercial-scale facility rather than its originally announced plant near the Port of Antwerp in Belgium.

The proximity to green methanol supply will enable pricing that works for its customers, as well as supply chain efficiency, expected higher CO2 savings and a faster route to market, it said. The company says its overall mission remains unchanged: scale fossil-free plastics globally to meet growing customer demand.

The first-of-its-kind plant will have a capacity of 200KTA and will use 100 percent segregated green propylene and ethylene as feedstock to produce a wide range of polypropylene grades. With high-purity feedstock and proven technology, polypropylene will serve as a direct drop-in replacement for fossil-based alternatives. The plastics produced will be fully traceable and CO2 negative, allowing customers to reduce their Scope 3 emissions.
