Asahi Kasei plans to begin producing and marketing sustainable solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber (S-SBR) using the sustainable butadiene at its plant in Singapore by the end of fiscal 2021.

Key Points: 
  • Asahi Kasei plans to begin producing and marketing sustainable solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber (S-SBR) using the sustainable butadiene at its plant in Singapore by the end of fiscal 2021.
  • Asahi Kasei will be the worlds first company to use butadiene derived from plastic waste, and the first Japanese company to use butadiene derived from biomass, for S-SBR production (according to internal research).
  • Asahi Kasei will be the worlds first company to use butadiene derived from plastic waste, and the first Japanese company to use butadiene derived from biomass, for S-SBR production (according to internal research).
  • Asahi Kasei thus expects to make a significant contribution to reduced CO2 emissions throughout the supply chain through the production of S-SBR using sustainable butadiene.

PARIS, Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the International Group of Liquefied Natural Gas Importers (GIIGNL) announced the launch of a comprehensive framework for a consistent industry approach to declaring greenhouse gas neutral LNG cargoes, at a time when the practice of declaring LNG cargoes 'carbon neutral' is increasing.

Key Points: 
  • The Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) and GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Neutral Framework is part of a collective industry movement to account for and reduce GHG emissions associated with LNG, an increasingly important source of energy worldwide.
  • Entities at every stage of the LNG life cycle can use it to assess the GHG footprints of their LNG cargoes.
  • One of the very first LNG cargoes associated with carbon offsets was imported into South Korea by GS Energy in June 2019.
  • "Alongside reducing and offsetting overall emissions, it is our intention that the Framework assists the industry in demonstrating greater transparency."

  • Entities at every stage of the LNG life cycle can use it to assess the GHG footprints of their LNG cargoes.
  • Significantly, it creates a transparent practice to declare GHG neutral cargoes through an independently verified Cargo Statement which sets out both emissions and offsets.
  • "Alongside reducing and offsetting overall emissions, it is our intention that the Framework assists the industry in demonstrating greater transparency."

TOKYO, Sept 9, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and Shell Canada Products, by its managing partner, Shell Canada Limited (Shell Canada) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding relating to the production of low-carbon hydrogen through the use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) near Edmonton, Canada.

Key Points: 
  • TOKYO, Sept 9, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and Shell Canada Products, by its managing partner, Shell Canada Limited (Shell Canada) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding relating to the production of low-carbon hydrogen through the use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) near Edmonton, Canada.
  • MC aims to build and start-up the low-carbon hydrogen facility near the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Scotford towards the latter half of this decade, and Shell would provide CO2 storage via the proposed Polaris CCS project.
  • The low-carbon hydrogen, commonly called blue hydrogen, would be produced via a natural gas feedstock and exported mainly to the Japanese market to produce clean energy.
  • The project would be built near the Edmonton region, which this year was announced as Canada's first hydrogen hub.

Achieving Shell's net-zero emissions target could mean that Shell doubles the amount of electricity sold and provides enough renewable electricity to power 50 million households by 2030.

Key Points: 
  • Achieving Shell's net-zero emissions target could mean that Shell doubles the amount of electricity sold and provides enough renewable electricity to power 50 million households by 2030.
  • Shell Energy North America has been an early energy supplier to Inspire since 2017.
  • Inspire will augment Shell's existing position as a power supplier to residential customers in the U.S. alongside MP2 Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell Energy North America.
  • Subject to regulatory clearance and the satisfaction of closing conditions, Inspire will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell, operating under its existing brand within our Renewables & Energy Solutions integrated power business.
