NextChem Company Profile

NEXTCHEM

Maire Sustainable Technology Solutions

We are in the midst of a great transformation.

A time of great tension and unprecedented challenges facing society, industries, and the planet.

Goals have been set and visionaries have taken the stage, but what we really need now more than ever, is action.

Action.

By those ready to take the matters of today into their own hands and take the first step towards the future.

Those ready to make a difference in the way the world works now—their business, their role in society, their impact on the planet—and to inspire new ways of working together.

Those ready to make things better now and inspire themselves and the others to keep making better things for tomorrow.

We are home to all those who make to inspire.

Fuels and Chemicals

NEXTCHEM, a MAIRE group company, provides Sustainable Technology Solutions to make energy transition happen. Thanks to the extensive know-how of fertilizers, hydrogen, carbon capture, fuels, chemicals and polymers, NEXTCHEM creates innovative and sustainable processes from non-fossil feedstock.

NITROGEN

Sustainably feeding the planet while developing innovative energy carriers

WHAT WE OFFER

Food security is driving an intensification of sustainable agriculture, achievable through the proper production of Sustainable Nitrogen-based fertilizers. We have a proprietary technology portfolio which is considered the leading and most efficient one in the production of various fertilizer technologies from Urea to Nitrates.

Sustainable Fertilizers

reducing carbon and energy footprint in the value chain

Green Fertilizers for carbon-free nitrogen-based fertilizer solutions

Green Ammonia

to be used as maritime fuel and as a hydrogen carrier

Microscale Power-to Fertilizers

onsite carbon negative high-performance fertilizers

HYDROGEN & CIRCULAR CARBON

Preventing global warming and reducing CO2 emissions

WHAT WE OFFER

Blue Hydrogen

reducing emissions for already installed H2 units in refining and chemicals

Sulphur & Carbon Fossil

Feedstock Cleansing and Carbon Capture

capturing emissions from major emitting player industries

Industry decarbonization is going to be achieved through electrification, as much as feasible, and alternative hydrogen-based & circular carbon solutions to lower emissions. Ready-to-market decarbonization technologies are already available, but there is still a need for a large-scale deployment of key levers, such as Green & Blue Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Storage and CO2 Utilization projects. We leverage on our solid foundation of 50 years of experience in Hydrogen Tech.

We enable the decarbonization of industries through the valorization and utilization of captured CO2 and the implementation of technologies to produce cost-effective, clean and green hydrogen.

Green Hydrogen

exploiting new electrolyzer tech to develop green energy carrier for the supply chain

FUELS & CHEMICALS

Reducing the utilization of fossil sources for fuel and chemical production

WHAT WE OFFER

Waste to Chemicals technologies from biomass and MSW fractions to synthetic fuels and chemicals (Syngas, methanol, ethanol, specialities) via gasification and catalysis

Renewable fuels and chemicals

biomass and second-generation oleos feedstock pre-treatment. Such as 2G bioethanol, HVO, SAF (sustainable aviation fuels)

E-fuels and E-Chemicals

from carbon neutral/negative H2 and captured CO2 to carbon-negative fuels and chemicals

New energy carriers are necessary in order to fight global warming, through alternative and innovative fuels as well as chemical and sustainable polymers obtained, for example, through a circular model where waste is finally considered a valuable feedstock. As longterm leaders in hydrotreating and hydrocracking, we are now applying our expertise to develop bio-based fuel and SAF as well as Syngas for methanol, ethanol and e-Fuel.

POLYMERS

Producing sustainable materials to enable growth

WHAT WE OFFER

New energy carriers are necessary in order to fight global warming, through sustainable polymers obtained, for example, through a circular model where waste is finally considered a valuable feedstock. Our technology offering in Sustainable Polymers is extensive and comprehensive: Plastic Upcycling, Chemical Recycling, and Biodegradable and compostable polymers.

Plastic Upcycling

technologies for plastic Upcycling via proprietary sorting and compounding process (MyReplast)

Bio-Polymers

technologies for the production of biodegradable and compostable polymers (PLA, PEF, PBAT, PBS, PHB) and enabling monomers (MAH, BDO, SA, FDCA)

Chemical Recycling of Thermoplastic Polymers

technologies for chemical recycling of thermoplastic polymers (PMMA, PS, PET, PO) via proprietary depolymerization processes

GREEN CIRCULAR DISTRICT MODEL

NEXTCHEM has developed the Green Circular District Model, which integrates several green chemistry and circular economy technologies. This model integrates proprietary and licensed technologies that are already validated and available, and ready to be implemented on-site. The Green Circular District aims to convert brownfield industrial sites according to green principles, especially in the petrochemical and steel sectors. The goal of the Green Circular District is to produce recycled polymers to replace virgin plastics, along with low-carbon chemicals that can be used in various industrial chains, such as the furniture and chemical industries, and the transport sector, through the recovery of waste and the use of renewable feedstocks

In the Green Circular District post-consumer waste can be treated using NEXTCHEM’s proprietary MyReplast Upcycling technology, which can produce new high-quality recycled polymers that have the same chemical and physical characteristics as virgin plastic. Non-recyclable plastics and non-recyclable waste can be chemically converted recovering the carbon and hydrogen stored within them. Through the chemical conversion a synthesis Circular Gas is obtained, and it can be used to produce chemicals like ammonia, Circular Methanol, Circular Ethanol, and Circular Hydrogen. Furthermore, the Green Circular District can produce green hydrogen through an electrolysis process that starts with water and renewable energy sources, like the sun and the wind. At the same time, the Green Circular District can host plants for the production of biofuels and e-fuels, green ammonia, biochemicals, and biopolymers.
