Polypropylene and polyethylene are currently produced mainly from fossil sources. “We investigated through pilot activities and modelling, how the biogenic carbon dioxide recovery chain can be adapted to existing petrochemical plants and the production of key basic plastics. For rapid and significant replacement of fossil feedstocks with renewable ones, technologies need to be adapted to the currently existing production facilities,” said Juha Lehtonen, research professor at VTT.
