Braskem’s industrial unit in the Triunfo Petrochemical Complex (RS), where the company produces thermoplastic resins from sugarcane ethanol. The unit producing green ethylene will see an increase in capacity of 260 kton/year
Braskem is expanding its production capacity of green ethylene, the main feedstock derived from sugarcane ethanol, used in the production of renewable resins.
These materials can therefore claim to capture CO2, a greenhouse gas. This raw material is produced at the company’s plant in Triunfo, Rio Grande do Sul, whose capacity will be increased from the current 200 kton/year to 260 kton/year. The expansion project, budgeted at $61 million, will be rolled out in 2021, and should be concluded in the fourth quarter of 2022.
