SABIC has formed a strategic collaboration with two other companies to explore opportunities for decarbonization in the chemical industry.
The chemical manufacturing company has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Scientific Design and Linde Engineering to decarbonize the SD Ethylene Glycol Process. Scientific Design is an affiliate company licensing leader in ethylene glycol technology. Linde Engineering, is a subsidiary of Linde, a leading global industrial gases and engineering company.
This collaboration seeks to develop innovative solutions to reduce carbon footprint and achieve low-carbon emissions technology by offering SABIC's CO2 recovery and purification technology to SD licensed manufacturing glycol plants worldwide. The ultimate goal is to establish sustainable ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol production and set industry benchmarks for carbon-neutral industries.
The collaboration will leverage SABIC's proprietary CO2 technology, which has already demonstrated its effectiveness in the world's largest carbon capture and utilization (CCU) plant at SABIC affiliate, United. This technology has the capacity to recover and purify up to 500,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, which would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere during ethylene glycol production.
