Shchekinoazot and Haldor Topsoe sign MoU for CO2 emission reduction

In Russia, Haldor Topsoe and Shchekinoazot signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the objective to reduce the carbon footprint of Shchekinoazot’s existing and future plants in Tula region, Russia. Shchekinoazot aims to establish production of green and blue methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen using Topsoe’s experience and technologies within reforming, electrolysis, carbon capture and utilization, and ammonia and methanol synthesis. Parties will collaborate to reduce CO2 emission from the existing production plants.

Topsoe is already engaged in several projects to produce green hydrogen, green ammonia, eMethanol, and efuels. An example is the Helios project in NEOM, Saudi Arabia, announced in July 2020, which includes the world’s largest ammonia loop (1.2 million tons per year) delivered by Topsoe.

Shchekinoazot and Topsoe have worked together for the last 15 years and have successfully implemented five projects together related to ammonia, methanol and hydrogen production, applying technologies and catalysts developed and supplied by Topsoe.
