Debottleneck SF5 is an engineering project by LyondellBasel to debottleneck the SF5 plant in Ferrara, Italy. The SF5 plant manufactures support materials for Ziegler–Natta catalysts, which are used in the production of polypropylene and other polyolefins. The objective of the project is to increase the plant’s production capacity from its existing level to approximately 1,750 tonnes per year, while keeping the facility ready for future expansion to 2,200 tonnes per year.

The SALCOS DRP 1 is a direct reduction iron plant developed by Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH at the Salzgitter steelmaking site in Germany. The project involves the construction of a hydrogen-ready plant based on Energiron ZR technology, capable of producing over 2 million tonnes/year of DRI using natural gas and hydrogen in flexible proportions. Its objective is to progressively replace the traditional blast furnace–coal route with low-emission steel production through the DRP-EAF route, reducing CO₂ emissions and supporting the decarbonization of the steel industry.
