Worley to deliver FEED for Dow Path2Zero cogeneration in Canada
- Worley was awarded FEED under an EPCM contract to deliver a brownfield cogeneration facility with integrated post-combustion carbon capture for Dow's Path2Zero in Fort Saskatchewan.
- The cogeneration unit is targeted to be operational towards the end of 2030 and will support net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions for the integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site.
- Path2Zero aims to decarbonize about 20% of Dow's global ethylene capacity, triple the site's polyethylene output, and produce 3.2 million metric tonnes per year of certified low- to zero-carbon polyethylene and derivatives.
Project scope
Worley was selected by Dow to provide front-end engineering design (FEED) under an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract for the cogeneration element of the Path2Zero expansion in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta; the scope covers a brownfield cogeneration installation with integrated post-combustion carbon capture.
Targets and output
Path2Zero aims to deliver an integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site that is net-zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, decarbonize about 20% of Dow's global ethylene capacity, triple the site's polyethylene output and produce 3.2 million metric tonnes per year of certified low- to zero-carbon polyethylene and derivatives.
Timeline and delivery
The cogeneration unit with carbon capture is targeted to be operational toward the end of 2030; FEED will be executed by Worley's Canada and India-based Global Integrated Delivery team, supported by its global network.
