AGC and CERT Systems Inc. Partner to Develop Ethylene Production from CO2 Using Electrolysis Technology
Key Ideas
- AGC partners with CERT Systems Inc. for joint research on producing ethylene from CO2 using electrolysis technology.
- The AGC Group aims to replace traditional ethylene production methods by leveraging CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) technology for sustainability.
- Electrolysis technology using renewable energy-derived electricity, water, and CO2 is gaining global attention for its convenience and environmental benefits.
- The joint research aims to apply CERT's successful pilot demonstration of ethylene production from industrial emissions using CO2 electrolysis for practical implementation.
AGC Inc., a leading manufacturer of glass and high-tech materials, has entered a joint research contract with Canada's CERT Systems Inc. to explore producing ethylene from CO2 through electrolysis. The partnership aims to introduce CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) technology to replace traditional ethylene sourcing for products like PVC and fluoropolymer resin. AGC's focus on sustainability aligns with their goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The electrolysis method, which relies on renewable energy sources and CO2, is highlighted for its environmental benefits. Leveraging CERT's prior success in ethylene production from CO2, the research will work towards the practical implementation of CO2 electrolysis plants. This collaboration signifies AGC's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and advancing technological solutions for a carbon-neutral future.
