CCU International had the incredible opportunity to attend a Scottish Labour Party event last night in #Edinburgh at the stunning Dundas House, home of the Royal Bank of Scotland Business and NatWest. We were fortunate to hear from leaders Keir Starmer, the UK Prime Minister & Labour Party Leader, and Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour Party Leader who shared their insights into the future, plans for growth, and ambitions for our business communities. Both leaders emphasised the importance of collaboration and innovation as we navigate the challenges ahead. A key highlight was the discussion around GB Energy and its potential to drive sustainable growth and energy security across the UK. It was also great to hear from NatWest CEO Paul Thwaite and one of the exceptional female entrepreneurs that they have supported over the years. CCU International are excited to be part of the conversation around #CCUS and look forward to a brighter future!

Proud to have played a significant part in the Flue2Chem project and delighted to share this update from BASF. CCU International are one of the 17 partners on the project and are delighted to have provided the carbon capture technology that has now been deployed at both Holmen Iggesund in Cumbria and UPM - The Biofore Company in Scotland. #CarbonCapture #CircularChemicals #Flue2Chem
BASF is excited to be part of the UK Government funded Flue2Chem consortium of 17 partners with the aim of demonstrating how carbon emissions can be converted into sustainable materials for consumer products, such as cleaning products, looking at the specific chemical value chain of surfactants. As part of the Flue2Chem consortium, BASF has developed a novel catalyst and process that have the potential to unlock a number of applications for the use of captured CO2 as a more sustainable raw material for producing chemicals for a net zero future. Over the course of 20 months, our team worked to integrate cutting-edge R&D techniques and machine learning to pioneer an accelerated process for the development of new catalysts for the production of ethanol based on the sustainable utilization of captured CO2. Ethanol is important because not only is it a key building block for making surfactants, but it is used to make many other useful chemicals with applications across the cosmetics, industrial, pharmaceutical sectors. Looking ahead, BASF would like to continue building on the success of Flue2Chem. Further collaboration is needed to enable the processes developed to work at scale, creating new business models for industry across the value chain.
