Neighbouring Denmark last year launched an ambitious project that aims to bury vast amounts of carbon dioxide beneath the North Sea “Time has run out,” Habeck said at a news conference in Berlin ‘let’s wait and see what might happen’; today we see that we haven’t found any technological solution for cement and other areas that ensures climate neutrality.” “We are heading towards exceeding 1.5 degrees which means that we are no longer in a luxury or comfort zone where we can somehow wait,” Habeck added “We have to use what we have.” He was referencing the international goal of trying to limit future warming to 1.5º Celsius (2.7º Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times Stopping warming at 1.5ºC or so can avoid some of the most catastrophic future climate change harms Habeck said it will be “a few years” before Germany can store CO2 under the sea and that it would be wise to coordinate European initiatives Environmental group Greenpeace complained that the German plans “bear the mark of the energy industry and heavy industry” and would allow even industries for which there are “climate-friendly solutions” to carry on as they have to date and encumbers future generations with further long-term liabilities,” Karsten Smid an energy expert with the group’s German branch View the discussion thread. Leilac and Heidelberg Materials have formed a Joint Venture (JV) for the Leilac-2 demonstration plant at Heidelberg Materials’ Ennigerloh cement plant in Germany The JV includes a suite of agreements that cover the construction and future ownership of the Leilac-2 demonstration plant Construction of the Leilac-2 plant is expected to commence in 2025 and commissioning of the plant is expected to occur in mid-2026 "The formation of a joint venture with Heidelberg Materials for the Leilac-2 plant marks another important milestone for commercialisation of the Leilac technology We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Heidelberg Materials to demonstrate and deploy cost-effective solutions to decarbonise cement production at commercial scale." General Manager of Heidelberg Materials Germany "The rapid testing and implementation of state-of-the-art carbon capture technology is key to decarbonising the cement industry in Germany I look forward to the construction start and seeing the Leilac-2 demonstration plant taking shape soon." Leilac-2 will be operated for up to three years to test and demonstrate the performance and operability of the technology The Leilac-2 project was awarded funding of €16 million from the European Union’s Horizons 2020 programme and is supported by various cash and in-kind commitments from the project’s consortium partners The project timeline remains subject to permitting with construction expected to occur in 2025 and commissioning in 2026 Towards full-scale commercial deployment – 'Leilac-3' Leilac has had a long-standing relationship with Heidelberg Materials Construction of the Leilac-2 project follows the pilot-scale Leilac-1 project at Heidelberg Materials’ cement plant in Lixhe In parallel with the construction of Leilac-2 Heidelberg Materials and Leilac have committed to explore initial steps required for the development of a full-scale commercial installation of the Leilac technology at a Heidelberg Materials cement plant Leilac-3 would be the third and final scale up step for the Leilac technology representing an up to five-fold increase in capture capacity from the demonstration plant A Leilac-3 plant could potentially process all the host cement plant’s raw material typically capturing between 0.5 – 1 million tpy of unavoidable process CO2 emissions Heidelberg Materials and Leilac have previously signed a global licence agreement The agreement covers the potential use of the Leilac technology at up to 150 Heidelberg Materials’ cement plants across five continents in case the performance and operability of the technology have been demonstrated successfully Read the article online at: https://www.worldcement.com/europe-cis/14062024/leilac-and-heidelberg-materials-form-joint-venture-for-leilac-2/ This article has been tagged under the following: Mixed and contaminated plastic waste is the biggest challenge for recycling a process is in large-scale use that converts plastic waste for which incineration was previously the only disposal route The company of the same name operates a pilot plant in Ennigerloh and cooperates with Südpack Chemical recycling can be an important building block for the circular economy and should always be used when mechanical recycling reaches its limits. Südpack the Swabian manufacturer of high-performance films for packaging food and medical goods the company’s founder Alfred Remmele had the vision that chemical recycling could be a future technology for the recovery of plastics that cannot be mechanically separated and recycled Since the state of the art was not yet fully developed at that time it initially remained with this vision.“ the company’s portfolio consisted of far more composite films Südpack has greatly expanded the share of recyclable monostructures but composite films are still indispensable for many applications „The much-discussed ‚waste problem‘ that is commonly generated by the production of precisely this packaging is only one aspect – and does not go far enough,“ says Johannes Remmele but high-quality functional films that make a significant contribution to the protection of food and pharmaceuticals Films only become waste if it is not possible to set up suitable systems with which these materials can be recycled And it is precisely for this reason that chemical recycling as a complementary technology is an essential building block.“ Südpack has therefore entered into a strategic cooperation with Carboliq the chemical recycling division of the Remscheid-based company Recenso The goal: to use the pilot plant for oiling plastic waste which is operated in cooperation with the waste management company Ecowest in Ennigerloh to recycle the company’s own streams of recyclable materials that are produced during the manufacturing process of packaging films The cooperation project has already shown how a plant must be designed to process the different fractions so that they do not have to be sent for thermal recycling future-proof technology – not only in terms of recycling possibilities but also in terms of energy efficiency and low immission levels,“ Remmele said „This makes us the only manufacturer of flexible films that has direct access to capacities for chemical recycling Even more: in combination with our site in Schwendi where capacities for mechanical processing are available we are always able to apply the technology that is better in terms of environmental impact and economic efficiency.“ Head of Business Unit Functional Films & Compounds at Südpack it will only be possible to close the loops for food packaging with mechanical and chemical recycling„ In the course of the cooperation with Carboliq the company has already been able to prove that multi-layer films can be successfully recycled with the process „The technology is robust and ready for the market In the material recycling process of direct oiling the waste material is liquefied in a single-stage process – at process temperatures below 400 °C The Carboliq process is operated by friction Special rotating units were developed for this purpose which bring the required energy directly into the material This circulates in the reactor until the chain lengths are so short that the material evaporates The vapours are condensed and the condensate is fed into an oil-water separator for phase separation Carboliq then markets the liquid product under the name CLR (Circular Liquid Resource) The pilot plant in Ennigerloh has been approved as a recycling plant for fully continuous operation and has been certified according to the ISCC-Plus sustainability criteria since March 2021 And Carboliq already has further plans: „An investment decision is expected to be made soon for the construction of a new plant south of Cologne It is to be designed for a capacity of 10,000 tonnes of output per year and come onto the market with the first products in 2025,“ explains Carboliq CEO Christian Haupts and calculates: „In Germany alone more than six million tonnes of plastic waste are generated and treated every year about half is used for energy and materials If even half of the plastics destined for incineration are reprocessed using the Carboliq process the recycling rate for plastics increases by more than 50 per cent CO2 emissions from incineration are reduced by more than 40 per cent and there is a revenue potential from the sale of CLR of more than two billion euros.“ The technology shows a high tolerance to impurities and grade mixtures the Carboliq process is suitable for a wide variety of plastics As well as for flexible packaging and for the recycling of highly complex multi-layer films made of several types of plastic which are commonly used in the food industry in particular chemical recycling thus offers significantly more possibilities as it aims at recovering the valuable material components through thermal decomposition we need to know the composition of the infeed in order to run a plant optimally and end up with materials that can be processed in large-scale chemical industrial plants like a cracker,“ says Christian Haupts http://www.suedpack.com http://www.carboliq.com Managing director Tina Gerfer of

Medien GmbH Südpack has prepared the way for a functioning circular economy a tour of the Carboliq plant in Ennigerloh near Münster was organized It is the only plant in fully continuous operation A particular focus on the facts surrounding chemical recycling was done explained the advantages of the advanced thermo-chemical process that is also called direct oiling What Carboliq has in common with known methods of gasification and pyrolysis is that solid organic input materials (plastics and biomass) are converted into oils and gases by breaking down (cracking) their hydrocarbon chains What differentiates the process significantly is its flexibility in terms of infeed materials which do not have to be based on polyolefin mixed and other plastics as well as for flexible packaging and highly complex multilayer films made of several types of plastic This means when compared to mechanical recycling the process offers far more options because it aims to recover recyclable components by means of thermal decomposition Another advantage is that the process requires a lower temperature of less than 400°C As soon as the energy that is needed to run the plant is obtained from renewable sources the Carboliq process will be fully climate neutral The Carboliq plant concept is – based on the use of high-caloric fractions and fully continuous operation (7,200 hours/year) – designed to provide an annual output of 10,000 tons of liquid resources per plant The secondary raw material distributed by Carboliq under the name of CLR (Circular Liquid Resource) is similar in many of its main properties to fossil oil and the products obtained from it – which makes it a fully-fledged substitute for fossil resources It can be processed in the existing plants of the refinery/petrochemical industry can be mixed with fossil oils and is just as suitable for storage entrepreneur and owner of the Südpack Group provided information about the “Zero Waste” vision about the reasons for cooperation with Carboliq and about the commitment of the family business to implementing the process as a complementary recycling technology His credo: despite all sustainability efforts there will continue to be materials whose structure is composed of different polymers These structures will continue to be indispensable for many applications in the future – and are simultaneously the most material-efficient way to produce the desired functionality of packaging Because these properties cannot be replaced with monostructures in a material-efficient manner with current technology suitable recycling technology for these materials is necessary so that these fractions can be kept in a loop and do not have to be thermally recycled Südpack is the only manufacturer of flexible films with direct access to capacities for chemical recycling in combination with the Schwendi site where capacities for the mechanical processing of recyclables are available Südpack is now always able to apply the technology that is the best choice in terms of environmental impact and economic profitability when closing recyclable material cycles hubergroup lance de nouvelles encres pour emballages
