From Air to Plastics: Norsk e-Fuel and Braskem Partner to Turn Captured Carbon into Long-Lasting Products

OSLO, Norway & ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (Business Wire) – Norsk e-Fuel AS, a pioneer in Power-to-Liquid (PtL) technology, and Braskem, a global leader in polymers and biopolymers, have announced a strategic collaboration to explore the possible integration of e-Naphtha into the plastics value chain. This partnership aims to accelerate the development of plastics derived from carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.

The collaboration will focus on developing a framework for integrating e-Naphtha into plastic production, assessing market opportunities, and engaging with customers seeking circular solutions.

Norsk e-Fuel is driving the industrial rollout of PtL technology by building large-scale facilities that convert fossil-free electricity, water, and captured CO2 into synthetic fuels and feedstocks. The company’s plan foresees at least three plants in operation by 2032.

Braskem’s sustainability strategy, "Keeping Carbon in the Loop", focuses on retaining carbon within products and the economy through renewable and circular solutions.

"e-Naphtha is more than a by-product; it is a valuable feedstock for creating long-lasting, circular products," said Lars Bjørn Larsen, CCO of Norsk e-Fuel.

"Plastics are essential to modern life, and by producing them with captured carbon, we keep that carbon in the economy, not in the air," said Walmir Soller, Vice President for North America, Europe, and Asia (NAMEA) and CEO of Braskem BV.
