Honeywell's Tech Chosen for Vioneo’s Fossil-Free Plastics Production

Vioneo has selected Honeywell’s advanced methanol-to-olefins (MTO) technology for its planned €1.5 billion facility in Antwerp, Belgium. The plant will use green methanol from renewable energy and biomaterials to produce plastics without fossil feedstocks, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Honeywell's MTO technology enables the production of propylene and ethylene — vital for items like medical equipment, packaging, and automotive parts — using biogenic carbon dioxide instead of crude oil or coal. This aligns with Vioneo's vision of advancing Europe’s €5 trillion chemicals sector towards defossilisation.

“By demonstrating large-scale, cleaner production using green methanol, we aim to position Europe as a leader in industrial innovation,” said Alex Hogan, CEO, Vioneo.

Vioneo will also implement Honeywell’s Light Olefins Recovery Process (LORP) and Olefins Cracking Process (OCP) to ensure high-purity outputs, reduce waste, and maximise energy efficiency.

The plant’s phased development begins with Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) in late 2024, with commercial operations expected by 2028.
