Innovation and Collaboration for Sustainable Solutions
We understand that our actions not only affect us but also our surroundings and the entire value chain. That is why we actively collaborate with customers and suppliers to set new standards in sustainable production and raise the bar for the industry.
Our focus on acrylonitrile, an essential chemical building block that contributes to clean water, lightweight transportation, and healthcare, demonstrates how innovation can directly contribute to a better society.
Acrylonitrile with the Lowest CO2 Emissions in the World: AcrylownitrileTM
For our customers, the investment in the Thermal Oxidizer means access to fossil-based acrylonitrile with the lowest carbon footprint in the world. The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of this acrylonitrile will be below 2 kilograms. Starting in 2028, this product will be marketed under the name AcrylownitrileTM.
Since 2019, AnQore has already been offering a sustainable variant of acrylonitrile based on ISCC-Plus certified renewable raw materials: Econitrile-MB.
Safety and Transparency
Safety and transparency are our top priorities. AnQore will apply for a permit to start this project this year. Following the approval of the permit application, agreement with the Dutch authorities on Tailor Made Solutions, and a positive investment decision, construction can take place in 2026 and 2027, with the installation becoming operational in 2028.
During the construction of the Thermal Oxidizer, planned for 2026, we will minimize potential disturbances such as additional transport on the Chemelot site as much as possible. Once the installation is operational in 2028, the impact on the surroundings will remain minimal: a new chimney will be visible until the old installation is removed, but noise levels and traffic will not increase. At the same time, greenhouse gas and nitrogen emissions will be significantly reduced.
