Siemens Energy and Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, signed an agreement to cooperate in the commercialisation of a new, jointly developed sour gas shift (SGS) technology for coal gasification.
The agreement appoints Clariant as the exclusive catalyst supplier for all projects where Siemens offers sour gas shift (SGS) systems. While the collaboration covers all global projects, commercialization will focus on China – the region with the highest growth rate of coal-to-chemical projects.
Stefan Heuser, Head of the Catalysts Business Unit at Clariant, stated, “This global cooperation is a very important step in marketing our innovative catalysts for coal-to-chemical applications. With its strong commercialisation focus on China, the cooperation supports Clariant’s strategy to increase our presence in the growing markets of Asia.”
Frank Hannemann, Head of Technology of Fuel Gasification Business at Siemens, declared, “This advanced technology makes coal to chemical plants more competitive and environmentally friendly. This global cooperation enhances the broad acceptance of gasification plants in China and in growing markets around the world.”
