Circa and Valmet partner up on biochemicals and Furacell production

In Norway, Circa and Valmet signed a Heads of Agreement to realize and optimize the Furacell production process at scale through the ReSolute project and future large-scale plants. Valmet will be the main process technology and equipment supplier, and actively contribute to accelerating the development of Circa’s large-scale production plants.

The agreed long-term objective is to develop deployable 10-15 thousand tonne per annum (ktpa) Furacell modules capable of operating separately or in multiples, depending on local feedstock and supporting infrastructure availability. By doing so, Circa will deliver on its primary objective of reaching +80 ktpa Cyrene production by 2030, complementing the Valmet vision to be a partner of choice in the rapidly expanding biochemical markets.
