Germany's Chemical Sector Exceeds $4 Billion in Active Projects

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--With demand on the rise for sustainable and recyclable chemicals, Germany's technology providers are developing new means to produce renewable chemicals. These chemicals are increasingly used in the mobility, power, industrial, chemical and other end-use industries.

The growing number of fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEV) on the road is driving the demand for green hydrogen to feed power plants. Also, green hydrogen is converted into green ammonia, which is further used as fuel in the maritime industry.

Over the past year, Germany's total investment in related grassroot projects has more than doubled from $1.53 billion in nine projects to more than $4 billion in 25 projects, according to Industrial Info.

About 50% of the total investment in related grassroot projects is for the development of green hydrogen, with companies like RWE AG, SunFire GmbH, Inovyn Deutschland GmbH, HydrGen, etc. proposing new plants. Other investments include Finnish company UPM's (Helsinki) US$500 million grassroot project to produce wood-based biochemicals, and a new ethylene oxide complex planned by PCC Integrated Chemistries GmbH, which was delayed about 18 months and is now expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
