How could carbon dioxide emissions reduce the carbon footprint of the production of solar panels?
The Chinese petrochemicals corporation Jiangsu Sailboat Petrochemicals Co has unveiled plans to build a project that will recycle an estimated 150,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year to use in the manufacture of solar panel materials.
The amount of recycled carbon would be equivalent to removing 53,000 diesel and petrol cars from the streets.
The process is designed to produce 100,000 tonnes of methanol annually – methanol is the main raw material used to create products for solar panels.
The £25.3 million project is expected to begin its operation in 2023.
Ingolfur Gudmundsson, Chief Executive Officer of CRI, commented: “By utilising waste and by-product resources in an innovative way we can take the necessary steps to reduce emissions and replace traditional fossil fuels in the production of most of our consumer products.”
Wei BAI, Chief Executive Officer of Jiangsu Sailboat, said: “This project is perfectly aligned with Shenghong Petrochemical strategy to vigorously develop the circular economy.”
