Implementation of several technical measures requires a shutdown of the production facilities for methionine and its precursors for 6-7 weeks each at Evonik's Singapore site in August/September and at its Antwerp, Belgium, site in September/October 2025. In Singapore, the maintenance schedule of a raw material supplier necessitates an early shutdown in Q3. Evonik explains it will synchronize this with the catalyst exchange in its methionine production and take this opportunity to further improve the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of the plant. In Antwerp, Evonik will also combine a catalyst exchange with the continuation of the measures begun in May to reduce nitrogen, sulphur, and CO2 emissions. During the shutdown of the methionine facilities for 6-7 weeks in September and October, Evonik Antwerp site operations will implement further milestones from its climate roadmap and make the site’s utilities infrastructure fit for the future. These upgrades are expected to be major enablers contributing to further reductions in the carbon footprint of Evonik’s production facilities.
