In the new edition of NEXTepisode, Fabio Ferrari, Head of Circular Carbon and Integrated Solutions at Nextchem, explains why addressing industrial carbon emissions requires a broader perspective than capture alone. With existing technologies, we can use CO2 as a feedstock for urea or methanol, integrate it into industrial processes, or even develop marketable products. With all these options on the table, finding the right solution for each case requires careful assessment and a holistic view of the entire carbon value chain. 

Tune in to discover how integrated carbon management approach can help industry tackle one of its most pressing challenges.

In this episode of NEXTepisode, we speak with Luca Botti, Circular Solutions expert at NEXTCHEM (MAIRE Group), about rethinking waste as a resource. From municipal solid waste to plastics and even CO₂, Luca explains how advanced technologies like gasification and pyrolysis are helping close the loop and bring materials back into the value chain.

We explore why “waste” is no longer the end of the story and how both industry and consumers can drive change. The takeaway: the technologies are ready — now it’s about scaling adoption and shifting mindsets.

Ammonia is more than just an intermediate chemical product, it is set to play a key role in the energy transition.

In our new NEXTepsiode, we sit down with @Stephen Zwart, VP for Ammonia, Urea, and Nitrates at @Stamicarbon, to discuss how the industry is redefining its role in a changing energy landscape.

We explore how integrated plant concepts unlock new efficiencies, how technology pathways are evolving, and what it takes to scale ammonia as both an energy carrier and a sustainable fertilizer feedstock.

From market dynamics to technology highlights, Stephen shares a his view on where opportunities lie and what challenges still need to be addressed. Don't miss out on this discussion that brings together technology, strategy, and insights into the future of the nitrogen industry.

Hydrogen is changing from a quiet refinery utility to a frontline decarbonization tool, and the biggest shift is how we make it. 

In episode 2 of NEXTepisode, host Mark Sleijser sits down with Christina Grazzotti, Head of Technology Solutions at KT Tech, to map the real choices behind low‑carbon hydrogen: modernized SMR with carbon capture, autothermal reforming that moves heat inside the reactor, catalytic partial oxidation that eliminates furnaces, and an electrified reformer that runs on clean power. If you have ever wondered when to choose SMR vs ATR vs CPO, this conversation gives you clear capacity ranges, carbon intensity impacts, and the project realities that decide the winner.
