Leuna Chemical Complex

UPM's new pigment, derived from lignin, offers recyclability and a carbon-negative footprint, addressing black packaging's recycling challenges and supporting sustainable packaging solutions.

The biorefinery uses certified sustainable wood to produce biochemicals, supporting responsible sourcing and brand trust, with production starting in late 2025.

The agreement involves 30,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually, reducing CO2 emissions by 300,000 tons, supported by a hydrogen network and storage facilities in Germany.

A new biorefinery in Leuna will produce 220,000 tons of hardwood-based biochemicals annually, using sustainable forestry and advanced maintenance for efficient, eco-friendly operations.

The facility will optimize e-fuels, bridging research and industrial production, with €130M funding, aiming to decarbonize transport and enhance Leuna's role in sustainable chemical manufacturing.

The Leuna100 project aims to produce scalable green methanol for shipping and aviation using a new catalysis process, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport.

The Leuna biorefinery will produce sustainable glycols and lignin-based fillers by late 2023. BioMEG and BioMPG will support various industries, promoting renewable circularity in the chemicals value chain.

The 24 MW electrolyzer will produce green hydrogen for industrial customers and refueling stations, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 40,000 tons annually. Production starts in the second half of 2022.

The biorefinery in Leuna, Germany will produce 100% wood-based biochemicals, targeting a 14% ROCE. It aims to replace fossil materials in various industries, leveraging sustainable wood supply.

The OPTISOCHEM project converts wheat straw into bio-isobutene, aiming for commercial production. Partners include Clariant, INEOS, and others, with ongoing R&D until May 2021.
