Resonac to Further Decarbonize NH3 Using New Processes at Kawasaki

Resonac Corporation indicate that it will further decarbonize its ammonia business by developing and introducing new low-carbon processes based on its existing operations at the Kawasaki plant in Japan. Currently, at the Kawasaki facility, the company manufactures and sells ammonia using hydrogen obtained by gasifying used plastics through chemical re-cycling and hydrogen obtained by reforming city gas. With this new project, Resonac aims to produce ammonia using only hydrogen derived from used plastics. By achieving 100% used plastic derived feedstock, Resonac will be able to supply high-value-added products with environmental benefits, including low-carbon and resource-circulating features, even for coproducts such as carbon dioxide. In addition, since last year, Resonac has begun demonstrating experiments using textiles as feedstock. By supplying acrylonitrile to fiber manufacturers and others, the company also aims to realize resource circulation for clothing.
