It follows the recent announcement of the official inauguration of a regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO) process at Solvay’s Green River which is set to contribute to another 4% reduction in Group-wide GHG emissions by 2025 “Ending coal use at Rheinberg is a major step in Solvay's global energy transition,” said Philippe Kehren "Through 90 energy transition and energy efficiency projects worldwide we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 Rheinberg’s transformation supports both our competitiveness and our long-term sustainable growth ambitions.” President of Solvay Soda Ash & Derivatives added: “With the second biomass boiler now operational This strengthens our performance while meeting customer expectations for sustainable operations.” Solvay’s Rheinberg plant has been a key supplier in essential industries As one of nine Solvay soda ash & derivatives facilities globally as well as bicarbonate-based solutions for use in food The inauguration event was attended by Mona Neubaur and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia; Heyde Dietmar Mayor of Rheinberg; and representatives from Solvay’s key industrial partners Solvay Soda

Supplies are looking increasingly insecure as the world’s dominant supplier China has responded to US trade tariffs by suspending exports of a wide range of rare earths This is a group of 17 critical elements that are crucial to the production of wind turbines Solvay’s new line is producing “a few hundred tonnes” of rare earths for permanent magnets The move is the first step towards meeting the company’s goal of supplying 30% of European demand for rare earths used in permanent magnets by 2030 The processing plant was a significant supplier decades ago, but output has dwindled as China has ramped up cheaper production. The country now accounts for around 90% of the world’s processed rare earths, according to figures from the IEA. Solvay said it has invested several million euros expanding the plant and will wait for interest from customers before committing about €100m (US$113m) for a full-scale expansion "The issue is not capacity. We can adapt to what is needed," An Nuyttens, president of Solvay's division that produces rare earths, told Reuters those are the stakeholders that will make this happen or not." The EU estimates that its demand for rare earths will increase six-fold by 2030 and 21-fold by 2050 as it races to meet climate goals The bloc’s Critical Raw Materials Act has set targets to diversify supplies by domestically extracting 10% of its annual consumption and relying on no single country for more than 65% of supplies Engineers have said supplies could be improved if governments were to track the volume of critical minerals in use and when they will become available from products that have reached the end of the their lives See our periodic table infographic showing which countries dominate supplies of elements Article by Adam Duckett First liquid MOF described, retains porosity Ceramic pump works at 1,400°C Green steel process given go ahead for testing at pilot scale Uranium: Under the sea Nuvia wins contract for Dounreay Site Restoration Limited Process Engineer -

Kesler then gave the bunt sign to Cameron Cappetta He put down a bunt that Westhill’s catcher picked up and tossed wildly to first allowing Hamon to come all the way around to score and he laid down a perfect bunt,” Kesler said of Cappetta Cappetta saved the team in the top of the seventh. He relieved starting pitcher Maxwell Overend After Overend gave up the pair of tying runs Cappetta stranded the go-ahead run at second by fanning three in a row but he’s just adapted to whatever we need him to be,” Kesler said “He has put the team first in every aspect of the game ‘Let’s go for this one as opposed to starting later in the week.’ And he was all for it Collin White drove in a pair of runs for Westhill, which drops to 5-1 with the loss. Sawyer Stewart plated a pair for Solvay which tries to maintain its momentum with back-to-back games against Phoenix on Wednesday and Saturday “We return seven out of nine starters and it’s these seniors I’ve had these seniors since they were sophomores,” Kesler said “They’ve been with me and they’ve started and they’ve taken their lumps and they have bought into everything I say They’ve bought into doing the little things the little things leading to the big things.” Contact Lindsay Kramer anytime: Email | Twitter The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and Solvay announce the winners of the 2024 IUPAC-Solvay International Award for Young Chemists The winners will each receive a cash prize of USD 1000 and travel expenses to the 2025 IUPAC Congress Each winner will also be invited to present a poster at the IUPAC Congress describing his/her award-winning work and to submit a short critical review on aspects of his/her research topic to be published in Pure and Applied Chemistry The awards will be presented to the winners of the 2024 and 2025 competitions during the Opening Ceremony of the Congress The call for applications for the 2025 IUPAC-Solvay International Award for Young Chemists will open soon Eligible candidates must have received a Ph.D or equivalent degree in any of the countries that have National Adhering Organizations in IUPAC during the year 2024 < see originating call Announcement published in the Oct 2024 issue of Chemistry International (eTOC) or doi) Solvay SA hereby discloses certain information in relation to its Share Buyback Program Solvay has repurchased 24,455 Solvay shares in the period from September 16 Solvay held a total of 1,371,365 own shares
