HOUSTON (ICIS)–Canadian ammonia production technologies firm AmmPower announced it has entered a strategic collaboration with FuelCell Energy to participate in pilots of distributed ammonia production. The company said the partnership will result in the integration of AmmPower’s modular ammonia production units with FuelCell Energy’s highly efficient solid oxide electrolyzer systems, improving clean ammonia production efficiencies and opening new commercial avenues. AmmPower’s Independent Ammonia Making Machine (IAMM) is designed to produce up to four tonnes of carbon-free ammonia daily using renewable electricity. By coupling this technology with FuelCell Energy’s solid oxide electrolyzer the joint effort is expected to reduce energy consumption by over 25% compared to traditional processes. The company said that the FuelCell Energy’s Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell produces hydrogen at nearly 90% electrical efficiency without excess heat and can reach 100% efficiency when using excess heat. Further it noted that hydrogen produced from electrolysis can be stored long term and transported, allowing energy from wind, solar and nuclear to be available on demand. “As we look forward, our focus is on applying these advanced technologies to meet the critical needs of agriculture and industrial sectors, where ammonia plays a key role,” said AmmPower CEO Gary Benninger. “This partnership is about more than just technological innovation, it’s about providing practical solutions that enhance productivity and sustainability in vital industries.”

LONDON (ICIS)–Glycolysis-based chemical recycling technology company Ioniqa has filed for bankruptcy protection, the company announced in press release on Thursday. The company is headquartered in the Netherlands. It is concentrated on chemically recycling polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET). In the press release, the company stated that it has determined that “achieving a positive cash flow from its advanced polyester recycling technology will take too long.” Advanced recycling is a term that is often used as an alternative description for chemical recycling (although mechanical recyclers also use the term advanced recycling to refer to some mechanical recycling processes). It attributed this to the comparatively low price of traditional virgin PET and the supply chain for chemically recycled PET still being in development. It also attributed some of the blame to “the implementation of regulated mandatory standards for meaningful recycling levels… [being] too far out into the future.”  It stated that this meant that large-scale deployment of its technology was not economically feasible at this time. Ioniqa has a glycolysis-based chemical recycling demonstration plant in Geleen, The Netherlands, which has been operational since 2019 and has an estimated output of 8,000 tonnes/year according the ICIS Recycling Supply Tracker – Chemical. Investors in the site include The Coca Cola Company, Unilever, Indorama Ventures, Koch Technology Solutions, and Infinity Recycling’s Circular Plastics Fund. Chemical recycling is an umbrella term for a variety of methods that use different production routes and feedstocks to create new material from waste. This means that each process (and each technology and individual player) has vastly different cost-structures and the economics of each chemical recycling method vary substantially.  Coupled with this, achievable prices for chemically recycled products vary significantly between grade and polymer type. Common chemical recycling methods include pyrolysis, gasification, glycolysis, hydrolysis, methanolysis, and enzymatic hydrolysis. In chemical recycling, chemical processes are used to revert waste back to an earlier molecular state. Waste can be reverted back to monomer, building block chemicals, or all the way back to crude oil/energy. Chemical recycling alters the fundamental chemical properties of the material. In glycolysis, a transesterification catalyst is used to break the ester linkages. Typical catalysts include monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG), propylene glycol (PG) or dipropylene glycol (DPG)..In glycolysis, a transesterification catalyst is used to break the ester linkages, which are replaced by hydroxyl terminals. This produces bisterephthalate (BHET) and PET glycozates. These can be reacted with aliphatic diacids to make: polyester polyols, which are in turn used in polyurethane (PU) foams; co-polyesters; unsaturated resins; and hydrophobic dyes. If combined with virgin BHET, the process produces chemically recycled PET via dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) or purified terephthalic acid (PTA) glycolysis. Typical catalysts include monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG), propylene glycol (PG) or dipropylene glycol (DPG). Transesterification does not work on polymers such as polyolefins due to a lack of cutting points. As a result, glycolysis is predominantly focussed on PET, and this means that it typically uses sorted and separated monomaterial as a feedstock, which can add additional cost. The most common form of chemical recycling in Europe is pyrolysis-based. This is in large part being driven by demand from ambitious brand sustainability targets in the packaging sector. Many fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands see chemical recycling as the only viable way to reach large scale food-grade packaging suitable recycled polyolefins given current EFSA requirements that 95% of input waste must be former food-contact to gain food-contact approval. Most PET input waste is sourced from used plastic drinks bottles, making it easier for R-PET producers to meet this 95% requirement than other polymers, and there is a well established R-PET food-grade pellet sector – using traditional recycling methods – across Europe. R-PET is also the only mechanical recycling technology recognised as suitable for producing food-contact material under European Commission regulation (EU) 2022/1616 on ‘recycled plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foods’. Pyrolysis-based chemical recycling uses heat and pressure – typically in the absence of oxygen, although it is sometimes present in controlled volumes – to transform waste feedstocks (most commonly plastic waste or end-of-life tyres) into an earlier molecular state. Pyrolysis-based plants targeting mixed plastic waste as feedstock – with a focus on polyolefins – currently account for more than 60% of all operating chemical recycling capacity in Europe according to ICIS Recycling Supply Tracker – Chemical. PET, however, does not pyrolyse. Highlighting just how variable achievable prices for chemically recycled materials can be, pyrolysis oil prices in Europe are currently regularly trading on the spot market anywhere from €800-2,200/tonne ex-works Europe depending on grade. ICIS assesses more than 100 grades throughout the recycled plastic value chain globally – from waste bales through to pellets. This includes recycled polyethylene (R-PE), recycled PET (R-PET), R-PP, mixed plastic waste and pyrolysis oil. On 1 October ICIS launched a recycled polyolefins agglomerate price range as part of the Mixed Plastic Waste and Pyrolysis Oil (Europe) pricing service.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)–China’s petrochemical futures tumbled on Wednesday morning as a lack of further economic stimulus measures from the government left investors worrying about demand. At the end of the morning session, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and paraxylene (PX) futures led the slump, with losses ranging from 2.4-3.5%. Market sentiment was also weighed down by crude oil’s plunge overnight, in which both Brent and WTI benchmarks shed more than $3/bbl. In physical markets, spot transactions were sluggish at most petrochemicals, including acetone, butadiene, acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, upon resumption of trade due to weak demand. China had a week-long National Day holiday on 1-7 October. Futures market gains in the previous session lost steam as market hopes for additional economic measures did not materialize. In a briefing on 8 October, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) – China’s top economic planner – provided no details on how to execute the aggressive measures announced in late September. Market players were initially expecting the government to adopt further fiscal measures to arrest the slowdown of the world’s second-biggest economy. ($1 = CNY7.07)

SINGAPORE (ICIS)–Petrochemical trades in Asia may pick up mid-week with as Chinese markets re-open after a week-long holiday, but industry players remained bearish on demand recovery prospects. Trades subdued during 1-7 October China holidays Crude, naphtha prices rise amid geopolitical tensions China to announce more economic policies Crude gains on escalating Middle East tensions, weather-related disruptions in northeast Asia and the monsoon season in India were all factors that will affect trading this week. In late Asian trade, Brent crude breached $79/barrel, while US crude was trading at above $75/barrel, on growing fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East a year since the Israel-Hamas war began. Demand concerns, particularly in China, however, continue to cap gains. Prices of naphtha – the main petrochemical feedstock in Asia – typically track gains in upstream crude market. At noon, naphtha prices stood at $700/tonne CFR (cost & freight) Japan. With firm naphtha prices, production margins of petrochemical producers get squeezed. In the propylene and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI) markets, players were awaiting clearer direction from China, whose players will return to the market on 8 October. For acetic acid, import demand from India slowed down as the seasonal monsoon in the country, which should have ended in late September, extended its stay and is expected to affect restocking ahead of Diwali holiday in end-October/early November. Diwali is the Hindu Festival of Light and is a major holiday in India. In Taiwan, Typhoon Krathon directly hit its petrochemical hub of Kaohsiung last week, causing power outages that affected plant operations at the site, with some units likely to be shut for days. In the case of Taiwan VCM (TVCM)’s 450,000 tonne/year vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) plant, it sustained equipment damage and may have to be down for 7-10 days, sources said. The consequent reduction is supply of some petrochemicals, however, will likely have a minimal impact on markets as demand remains largely weak. EYES ON CHINA Market players are expecting more economic measures from China post-holiday, which will follow a slew of policy announcements days before its week-long National Day celebration. China’s State Council announced on 6 October that the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the country’s top economic planning body, will hold a press briefing on 8 October. In its announcement, the State Council referred to “systematically implementing a package of incremental policies to solidly promote economic growth, structural optimisation and sustained momentum of development”. China’s recent economic stimulus package have boosted investor sentiment, mainly in the equities markets, but there were doubts over any near-term lift to economic activity.

SAO PAULO (ICIS)–The Mexican government has amended for the third time the decree regulating import and export permit requirements for several chemicals as well as fuel products and re-opened the door for 20-year permits. Among others, there were amendments published for permits to import key building blocks within the petrochemical industry, such as naphtha; products within the aromatics chain such as benzene and toluene; or within olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butadiene (BD). Within fuels, import permits for jet kerosene or biodiesel were amended, as well as those for feedstocks such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). Read the list of products in the decree’s annexes (see here, in Spanish). The government said it was aiming to simplify the procedures by providing greater legal certainty and clarity to interested parties, seeking to facilitate compliance with obligations by considering the type of merchandise, its use, and the quantities requested. These import and export permits apply when the product is related to the energy industry or derives or is produced from hydrocarbons. For lubricants and additives, recent regulatory amendments have made it necessary to obtain a Permit for the import of such products, when classified under certain specific tariff codes. Some of the updates referred to the term of the permits for import and export, an aspect in which the government is backtracking its earlier decision from 2020 to withdraw 20-year permits existent at the time, according to a note to customers by the Mexican office of law firm Holland & Knight. “Permits are granted for different validity periods that vary based on the nature of the merchandise and its intended use. For merchandise intended for sporting events and research trials, both for import and export, the validity is sixty days. Standard permits for one year and five years may also be requested,” said Gabriel Ruiz, partner at the law firm. “Furthermore, permits for export may be granted for periods exceeding five to twenty years, provided the need for such permits is justified in the interest of social and economic benefit, subject to approval by the Ministry of Energy (SENER).” The decree also establishes specific requirements for obtaining prior import and export permits, differentiating the requirements based on the validity of each type of permit. Regarding renewals, permits granted for one year may be renewed up to two times for the same validity, while five-year permits may be renewed once for the same duration. For permits exceeding five years intended for export, the renewal will be singular and may extend up to half of the original validity; in the case of twenty-year permits, the renewal will be limited to the same proportion. The new rules published on 18 September came to amend a decree originally issued in December 2020, later amended in November 2022 and November 2023. These amendments were part of wider changes included in the Energy Reform passed in 2013, which sought to liberalize Mexico’s energy sector. The current Administration’s approach, however, has been keeping the state-owned energy companies – crude major Pemex or utility CFE are two of them – at the center of the country’s energy landscape.

SAO PAULO (ICIS)–The Brazilian government’s committee on foreign trade Gecex-Camex approved late on Wednesday an increase in import taxes on more than 80 chemical and fertilizers products, with the new rate up to 20% for most materials. Among some of the products affected are widely used chemicals such polypropylene (PP), polyethylene, (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). See bottom list for details. Previous rates stood between 7.6% and 12.6%. The new rates will apply from October and are valid for one year. The decision is yet to be approved by Mercosur, the trading common area formed by Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, as well as Brazil, which is the dominant economy in Mercosur. The cabinet, thus, gave in partly to the pressure by chemical producers in Brazil. Earlier this year, individual companies as well as the trade group representing producers, Abiquim, had proposed to increase tariffs in more than 100 chemicals. The decision was widely anticipated by analysts, and it is expected to immediately prop up earnings for some of Brazil’s largest producers such polymers major Braskem or chlor-alkali major Unipar. Brazil has been the recipient of large amounts of imports from Asia and, to a lesser extent, the US which have greatly dented domestic producers’ market share. Sectors that opposed increasing tariffs, including plastic transformers represented by Abiplast, expressed their disappointment after Wednesday’s measure by Gecex-Camex. “[The decision was taken even though] Abiplast and other trade groups have exhaustively demonstrated to the government the harmful impacts of increases in import tariffs on raw materials,” said Jose Ricardo Roriz Coelho, president of Abiplast, in a letter to the trade group’s members seen by ICIS. “We will continue to fight to ensure that these unreasonable measures are reversed.” Product Current Tax Rate Proposed Tax Rate Plaintiff Phosphoric acid with iron content less than 750 ppm 9% 17.5% Abiquim Sodium hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate) 9% 20%* Abiquim Isobutyl alcohol (2-methyl-1-propanol) 10.80% 20% Abiquim Isobutyl alcohol (2-methyl-1-propanol) 10.80% 20% Elekeiroz Inc.
