EC 203-631-1
New cyclohexanone route via cyclohexene esterification–hydrogenation: >99.95% single‑pass conversion, >8× equilibrium, −14% activation energy; waste −70%, CO₂ −38%; first commercial 2×200k t/yr unit
Two Jury Special Commendation Golds and four Golds; CO2-capture equipment also won a Special Innovation Award. Winners cover CO2 capture, heavy‑oil viscosity reduction, hydrogen and catalyst tech.
In 2022, sales rose 11.1% to €87.3B, but EBIT fell 11.5%. High energy costs and impairments impacted earnings. Cost-saving measures aim to save €500M annually and reduce CO2 emissions by 4%.
