Gpi Tanks XL: stainless tanks for SkyNRG
NatureWorks, a major manufacturer of polylactic acid( PLA) biopolymers made from renewable resources, has announced the grand opening of its new fully integrated Ingeo™ biopolymer manufacturing facility in Nakhon Sawan, Thailand. The new site brings together lactic acid production derived from locally sourced sugarcane, lactide monomer production, and polymer manufacturing in a single, fully integrated complex. The facility represents a significant milestone for both NatureWorks and the broader biopolymers industry. This expansion underscores NatureWorks’ commitment to meeting growing global demand for sustainable, low-carbon materials across packaging, fibre, and consumer applications.
Gpi Tanks XL has been selected by Technip Energies to construct 22 stainless steel storage tanks for the SkyNRG project in Delfzijl. In this project, a sustainable aviation fuel( SAF) plant is being developed, and both parties have now signed a contract. The facility represents an important step in the decarbonization of the aviation industry. The plant at Chemie Park Delfzijl( NL) is expected to start production in 2028, producing approximately 100,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel per year. The fuel is made from waste and residual streams, such as used cooking oil, and can reduce
CO 2 emissions by up to 80 % compared to fossil alternatives.
