In Texas, Marubeni Corporation and Exxon Mobil Corporation have signed a long-term offtake agreement for approximately 250,000 metric tons of low-carbon ammonia per year from ExxonMobil’s facility in Baytown, Texas, which is expected to produce virtually carbon-free hydrogen with approximately 98% of CO2 removed and low-carbon ammonia. Marubeni will supply the ammonia mainly to Kobe […]
In Texas, nonprofit industrial biomanufacturing accelerator BioWell has officially assumed operations of Texas BioTechnology’s pilot plant in Richmond, TX. The U.S. bioindustrial manufacturing sector faces a scale-up bottleneck due to limited pilot- and demonstration-scale infrastructure, often forcing companies to go abroad and risk losing domestic R&D and intellectual property. “Pilot facilities are critical for de-risking and […]
In Texas, Syzygy Plasmonics has successfully completed performance testing of the world’s largest all-electric GHG e-Reforming demonstration unit in Houston. After over 3000 hours of rigorous trials in Houston and Ulsan, South Korea with its cutting-edge Rigel Reactor, the unit demonstrates a critical breakthrough in low-cost, high-yield sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. Syzygy’s novel approach […]
