about us.
The first
100% circular olefin producer in the world
First circular methanol-to-olefins production facility
Net zero and circular society
Only by diverting from the use of fossil based feedstock and moving towards circular feedstocks the chemical industry can contribute towards a net zero and circular society
First circular methanol-to-olefins
Blue Circle Olefins is developing the first circular methanol-to-olefins production plant in The Netherlands to supply 100% circular olefins to the European chemical industry
ambition.
Defossilizing the Chemical Industry
Our facilities will convert renewable methanol into ethylene and propylene, which are the basic building blocks of plastics and many other chemicals

Process.
PROCESS
In the MTO process methanol is converted in a one step process into ethylene and propylene, replacing fossil production of these olefins through traditional oil-based naphtha processes.
The methanol can be produced from residual biomass, waste fractions now being incinerated or directly from CO2.
The end products can be used in a range of different application from plastics for use in cars, household goods, packaging or industrial applications to paints, fibers, textiles and dozens of other products produced on a daily basis by the chemical industry.

Key benefits of using circular olefins
Carbon Footprint
Reduction
Cut your product carbon footprints (including end-of life) with over 80% compared to traditional oil based olefins
Regulatory Compliance
Advanced process ensures highest industry standard product quality and performance
Product Quality
Complying with all current and upcoming regulations related to safety, environmental impact and circularity
Short
Time-to-Market
Product can be directly used in your existing value chains reducing time-to-market for the introduction of circular products
Operational Excellence
No process modifications required when switching from oil based olefins to circular olefins (“drop-in” replacement)
Multiple Green Feedstock Options
Convert plastic waste, residual biomass or CO2 based methanol into circular olefins depending on your client needs
impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Circular Ethylene and Propylene for the chemical industry
Emission reduction
Carbon Footprint
Scope 1,2 and 3 emission reductions potential of more than 100 Mton when replacing 30 Mton fossil olefins currently produced in the EU
Circular Feedstocks
Renewable methanol produced from second generation biomass, waste that is currently incinerated or biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen is used as a circular carbon feedstock
Electrification
The production facility will be fully electrified using green electricity, reducing scope 1 emissions to almost zero
Re-using Water
The MTO process produces substantial amounts of water that will be used to reduce the intake of fresh water
Project NL
first production facility
Blue Circle’s first production facility
will be located in the Netherlands and will be able to supply segregated olefins that can be used for the production of 100% traceable polyolefins or chemicals

Industrial Innovation
Ralph holds a master’s degree in chemistry and in Business Administration from the Radboud University Nijmegen. He started his career in DSM in venture capital and business development.
After DSM, he founded several companies (Qlyte, Blue Fifty, Blue Care) and initiated several projects in green chemicals for Maire Tecnimont.
In 2022 he co-founded Blue Circle to enable circular olefin production.
Reinier holds a PhD in Chemistry from the Radboud University Nijmegen before starting his career at DSM. After several roles he was responsible for the global R&D strategy within DSM.
He continued his career at Bolsius and afterwards at TNO, where he was appointed as principal consultant Industrial Transformation.
He also was a board member of SusChem in Brussels, advising the European Commission on the transition to a Net Zero and Circular chemical industry.
