Revolutionizing plastic recycling with pyrolysis
Did you know that in 2023, only about 10 percent of plastic products were made of recycled raw material? This is about to change, as Valmet is introducing its plastic chemical recycling technology, Valmet Pyrolyzer.
At the heart of the matter
The outlook on energy transition is challenging to say the very least. It is important to explore what flow control technologies can bring to the table to address the many pressing challenges that must be faced. Valve solutions have a vital role in many crucial applications such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), hydrogen, and plastics liquefaction – all segments which are directly contributing towards cutting carbon footprint and curbing global warming
P2X fleet-wide multi-market optimization through simulation
A full-scale central control room simulator – a complete digital twin of a Valmet DNA Automation System and future production processes – will enable Nordic Ren-Gas to test and optimize its Power-to-X operations, convince stakeholders, train operators and schedule plant maintenance before the fleet even exists. The production planning and management system is capable of autonomous production plan execution and strategic electricity trading.
Innovating for sustainability – Valmet introduces new Bioneer press roll covers with reduced carbon footprint
Valmet is committed to reducing the climate impact of its technologies and supporting customers in achieving their own sustainability goals. As the next step in this long-term effort, Valmet is renewing its press roll cover family with new Bioneer solutions designed to further cut carbon emissions.
