ICIS Chemical Business deputy editor Will Beacham, who chairs the judging panel, said: "This year the judges were really impressed by the strides chemical industry innovation is making towards tackling the climate emergency.

Michael Reitz, technology manager for BASF said: "We are honored to win this award. We are part of a large team from all three companies working together so I'd like to recognize the spirit of cooperation we have within this project."  

Martin Hofstaetter, process engineer for furnace technology at Linde added: "It's great to get the recognition for this project and also to see how the plant is working after all these years of development."
