據(jù)安迅思5月19日消息稱，西方石油公司的低碳部周二表示，它計(jì)劃在建設(shè)和運(yùn)營(yíng)一個(gè)試點(diǎn)工廠，該工廠將使用人造二氧化碳而不是烴類原料來(lái)生產(chǎn)生物乙烯。

　　該試驗(yàn)廠將由西方石油公司的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資部門(mén)Oxy Low Carbon Ventures LLC和生物工程初創(chuàng)公司Cemvita Factory共同開(kāi)發(fā)。預(yù)計(jì)將于2022年開(kāi)始運(yùn)行。生物乙烯目前是由從甘蔗中提取的生物乙醇制成的。

　　Cemvita的首席執(zhí)行官M(fèi)oji Karimi說(shuō)，這種新技術(shù)可以從二氧化碳、水和光中生產(chǎn)生物乙烯，這有助于降低成本和碳排放。乙烯廣泛應(yīng)用于化學(xué)工業(yè)，是塑料薄膜、PVC管道和冷卻劑等產(chǎn)品的組成部分。

　　近年來(lái)，人們對(duì)低碳舉措的興趣有所增加，從尋求抵消其對(duì)氣候影響的企業(yè)，到擔(dān)心國(guó)際減排協(xié)議進(jìn)展緩慢的政府官員。Oxy Low Carbon Ventures在2019年投資了Cemvita，為西方石油的化學(xué)部門(mén)研究生物制造。

　　根據(jù)MRC的消息，OxyChem公司計(jì)劃于5月3日在美國(guó)路易斯安那州的Convent恢復(fù)燒堿和氯的生產(chǎn)。OxyChem公司是西方石油公司(OXY)的子公司，OXY是一家主要的國(guó)際石油化工制造商。美國(guó)OxyChem在路易斯安那州Convention的35萬(wàn)噸氯和39.2萬(wàn)噸燒堿工廠在停工一年后重新開(kāi)工。該工廠于2020年第二季度因商業(yè)原因關(guān)閉。據(jù)市場(chǎng)消息，由于氯的供應(yīng)增加，正在重新啟動(dòng)。

　　Occidental Petroleum plans to construct bio-ethylene plant

　　Occidental Petroleum's low-carbon unit said on Tuesday it plans to construct and operate a pilot plant that would use human-made carbon dioxide, instead of hydrocarbon-sourced feedstocks, to produce bio-ethylene.

　　The pilot plant will be jointly developed by Occidental's venture capital arm, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures LLC, and bio-engineering startup, Cemvita Factory. It is expected to start functioning in 2022. Bio-ethylene is currently made from bio-ethanol, which is made from sugarcane.

　　The new technology produces bio-ethylene from carbon dioxide, water and light, which helps lower costs and carbon emissions, Cemvita's Chief Executive Officer Moji Karimi said. Ethylene, widely used in the chemical industry, is a component of products ranging from plastic films to PVC piping and coolants.

　　Interest in low-carbon initiatives has grown in recent years, ranging from companies seeking to offset their climate impact to public officials worried about the slow pace of international agreements to cut emissions. Oxy Low Carbon Ventures in 2019 had invested in Cemvita to look at bio-manufacturing for Occidental's chemical unit.

　　As per MRC, OxyChem, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY), a major international petrochemicals manufacturer, plans to resume caustic soda, chlorine production in Convent, Louisiana, USA on May 3. OxyChem in the United States is reopening its 350,000 tonnes of chlorine and 392,000 tonnes of caustic soda plant in Convention, Louisiana after a year of downtime. The plant was closed for commercial reasons in the second quarter of 2020. According to market sources, due to the increased supply of chlorine, it is being restarted.?
