TV OSR: Tees Valley sustainable Olefins Strategic Roadmap

烯烃是化工行业的核心平台化学品，也是循环化学经济中心（CCCE）关注的重点。烯烃被广泛用作制造化学和聚合物产品的原料，如塑料、洗涤剂、粘合剂、橡胶和食品包装。在全球范围内，绝大多数烯烃都是使用不可持续的石化产品生产的，使这些供应链可持续发展的唯一途径是利用循环或生物质原料。因此，利用循环经济生产可持续的烯烃对化学工业的长远未来至关重要。可持续烯烃的来源也为英国下游烯烃衍生品供应链的发展提供了机会，这将产生大量投资并创造数千个就业机会。提赛德是欧洲最大的化工集群之一。提赛德化学工业的很大一部分与烯烃供应链有关，包括烯烃的制造和烯烃衍生物的利用。该项目的目的是为如何在提赛德建立可持续的烯烃和烯烃衍生物供应链制定战略路线图。这将涉及潜在供应链的识别、可用原料的映射、流程路线的识别以及与循环商业模式的集成。总的来说，这将有助于制作一份报告，该报告将分发给可持续烯烃价值链中的主要当前和潜在利益相关者。该项目将由英格兰东北部过程产业集群（NEPIC）领导，并得到提赛德大学和循环化学经济中心的支持。

Olefins are the core platform chemicals within the chemical industry and the focus on the Centre for Circular Chemical Economy (CCCE). Olefins are widely used as raw materials in the manufacture of chemical and polymer products like plastic, detergent, adhesive, rubber, and food packaging. Globally, the vast majority of olefins are produced using unsustainable petrochemicals and the only way to make these supply chains sustainable is to utilise circular or biomass feedstocks. Therefore, the utilisation of circular economy to produce sustainable olefins is critical for the long-term future of the chemical industry. A source of sustainable olefins also provides an opportunity to grow the downstream olefin derivative supply chains within the UK, which would generate significant investment and create thousands of jobs. Teesside is home to one of the largest chemical industry clusters in Europe. A large part of Teesside's chemical industry is linked to the olefin supply chain, including the manufacture of olefins and the utilisation of olefin derivatives.The aim of this project is to produce a strategic roadmap for how a sustainable olefin and olefin derivatives supply chain can be created on Teesside. This will involve the identification of the potential supply chains, mapping of available feedstocks, identification or process routes and the integration with circular business models. Overall, this will enable the production of a report which will be disseminated to key current and potential stakeholders within a sustainable olefins value chain.This project will be led by the North East of England Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC) with support from Teesside University and the Centre for Circular for Chemical Economy.
