Nuon is to supply flexible energy to three of AkzoNobel’s chemical production sites in the Netherlands as part of an agreement to purchase a total net volume of 1.5 TWh. The deal will allow AkzoNobel to take advantage of flexibility in its chemical production and its own electricity generation to balance fluctuations in energy supply to optimize costs.

Nouryon is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its Battleground site in Texas, which pioneered the production of metal alkyls used in the production of high-volume plastics and rubbers and in the manufacture of semiconductors.

The chemical industry is in the early stages of a major transformation in the way it carries out manufacturing. This comes as a result of Industry 4.0, and Nouryon is already seeing some enormous benefits.

DME is widely used as an eco-friendly low GWP propellant for aerosol products with unique advantages such as solvency power and water miscibility.

AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals, DSM, Google and Philips have started receiving power from the Bouwdokken wind farm in the Netherlands – a milestone achievement resulting from a unique green energy purchasing consortium they jointly established. All four companies consume a substantial amount of power in the Netherlands, and by working together they are making a significant contribution to delivering on the Netherlands’ renewable energy target of 14% by 2020.
