CO2-based polyols plant expected 2016

摘要

Dormagen, Germany — Bayer MaterialScience has announced a plan for a small production line to produce polyols from carbon dioxide gas, taking its Dream Production project to the next stage. The German group said it will invest ?15m ($20.5) in the construction of a production line at its Dormagen site, which will use CO2 to produce polyols, a precursor for making polyurethane foam. The line will have an annual production capacity of 5kT and first production is expected in 2016.
