???? 據(jù)安迅思3月9日消息稱，據(jù)《化學(xué)周刊》報(bào)道，OMV表示將投資3000萬歐元（3600萬美元）在其位于奧地利施韋夏特的精煉和石化廠建設(shè)甘油制丙醇試驗(yàn)工廠，生產(chǎn)的丙醇除了用作汽油的生物添加劑外，還將用作化學(xué)品的可持續(xù)原料。
????該公司表示，建設(shè)計(jì)劃于2021年第二季度開始，2023年投入使用。該工廠將使用OMV公司內(nèi)部開發(fā)的一種催化劑，從廢基甘油(生物柴油生產(chǎn)的副產(chǎn)品)中生產(chǎn)丙醇。報(bào)告稱，丙醇將主要用作生物添加劑，以減少汽油的二氧化碳排放，但也有其他用途，包括“作為化學(xué)市場的可持續(xù)原料，替代化石基丙醇”。
????OMV表示，投資試點(diǎn)工廠是經(jīng)過5年研究的結(jié)果。該公司表示，新裝置將位于該公司的ReOil工廠附近，該工廠從廢棄塑料中生產(chǎn)合成油，用于其子公司Borealis運(yùn)營的附近烯烴和聚烯烴工廠，因此這兩個(gè)設(shè)施可以利用一個(gè)單一的測量站和協(xié)同作用。
????該公司表示，該試點(diǎn)工廠年產(chǎn)125萬公升丙醇的產(chǎn)能預(yù)計(jì)將使二氧化碳排放量減少約1800噸/年。OMV表示，長期計(jì)劃是將甘油制丙醇技術(shù)商業(yè)化，每年生產(chǎn)1.25億升丙醇，減少約18萬噸二氧化碳排放。
????OMV上個(gè)月宣布，它將與Kommunalkredit合作投資約2500萬歐元，在施韋夏特建造一座電解工廠，用于生產(chǎn)綠色氫氣。這個(gè)10兆瓦(MW)的聚合物電解質(zhì)膜(PEM)電解裝置將每年生產(chǎn)1500公噸可再生氫，工廠預(yù)計(jì)將在2023年下半年上線。

????OMV to invest USD36 million in glycerin-to-propanol pilot plant in Austria
????OMV (Vienna, Austria) says it will invest EUR30 million (USD36 million) building a glycerin-to-propanol pilot plant at its refining and petrochemicals complex at Schwechat, Austria, with the propanol produced to be used as a sustainable feedstock for chemicals, in addition to being a bio-additive for gasoline, reported Chemweek.
????Construction is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2021, with the unit to be operational in 2023, it says. The plant will use a catalyst developed inhouse by OMV to produce propanol from waste-based glycerin, a byproduct from biodiesel production. The propanol will be used mainly as a bio-additive to reduce gasoline’s carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint, but with other applications to include as a “sustainable feedstock for the chemicals market as a replacement for fossil-based propanol,” it says.
????The pilot plant investment follows five years of research, says OMV. The new unit will be located adjacent to the company’s ReOil plant, which produces synthetic oil from waste plastic for use in nearby olefins and polyolefins plants operated by its subsidiary Borealis, so that both facilities can utilize a single measuring station and synergies, it says.
????The pilot plant’s capacity of 1.25 million metric liters/year of propanol will lead to an estimated reduction in CO2 emissions of around 1,800 metric tons/year, it says. OMV says the long-term plan is to commercialize the glycerin-to-propanol technology to produce around 125 million liters/year of propanol and reduce CO2 emissions by around 180,000 metric tons.
????OMV last month announced it would invest about EUR25 million, in partnership with Kommunalkredit, building an electrolysis plant for the production of green hydrogen at Schwechat. The 10-megawatt (MW) polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysis facility will produce up to 1,500 metric tons/year of renewable hydrogen, with the plant expected online in the second half of 2023.
