Ammonia production: Saudi Arabia. Topsoe has been selected to supply its ammonia synthesis technology for Acwa Power’s planned 4.4GW green hydrogen and ammonia plant in Saudi Arabia, which could reach final investment decision this year. The Yanbu project plans to combine 10GW of wind and solar power with 4.4GW of electrolysis to produce up to 2.5 million tonnes of green ammonia per year for export. Link 28/01/2026.

Biobased chemicals: Germany. Borealis announced a EUR 49 million strategic investment to scale up production of Borstar® Nextension polypropylene (PP) at its manufacturing site in Burghausen, Germany. This will expand commercial production of next-generation single-site polypropylene (ssPP) grades that deliver enhanced purity, processability, and performance – supporting customers in key sectors including packaging, healthcare, mobility, and fibers, to meet evolving market and regulatory demands.

Hydrogen: France. Haffner introduces the C-iC line. The C-iC line is built on Haffner Energy’s H6 technology. Each unit is sized to produce 1,700 kW of renewable syngas for thermal applications or for further conversion into biomethane or biomethanol, or up to 50 kg per hour of renewable hydrogen (approximately 400 tonnes per year). The C-iC line is available in three configurations: SYNOCA® C-iC is dedicated to syngas production for industrial thermal and energy applications, serving as a direct alternative to biomass boilers; SYNOCA®+ C-iC integrates syngas production modules whose composition and purity are compatible with conversion into biomethane or biomethanol; HYNOCA® C-iC enables the production of renewable hydrogen for industrial or mobility applications at a levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of less than €2.34/kg.
