DOE Backs Technip, LanzaTech for CO2-to-Ethylene Technology

January 7, 2025--Written by Paul Wiseman for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from ethylene production and combining it with green hydrogen to produce more ethylene and ethanol is what Project SECURE is all about. Having proven it in the lab, SECURE's creators, Technip Energies (Nanterre, France) and LanzaTech (Skokie, Illinois), will now receive up to $200 million from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) to commercialize the process and make it available to the energy industry. Technip and Lanza plan to deploy this technology first in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, where it can be directly integrated into existing commercial ethylene crackers.
