Blue Circle Olefins
Company Profile
Blue Circle Olefins is a scale-up that is developing a 200kton Methanol to Olefins (MTO) production facility in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. By 2030 the plant will convert green methanol, produced from mixed plastic waste or agricultural and forestry residues, into respectively carbon recycled and biobased ethylene and propylene. This provides the European chemical industry with fossil free feedstocks for the production of circular plastics. By upcycling waste into virgin quality ethylene and propylene, the full life cycle GHG emissions will be reduced by more than 80% compared to oil-based polyolefins.
