Brazil's national chemical company Braskem announced on Monday a research partnership with the University of Illinois at Chicago to develop a method for producing ethylene from carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from industrial plant flue gas
.
The resulting ethylene will be used to make polyethylene (PE), the world's most widely used plastic and one of Brazil's main products
.
The university's research team will rely on its experience in electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, which will be combined with a patent-pending technology to capture carbon dioxide from flue gas
.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that the global chemical industry will emit more than 1.
5 billion tons of carbon dioxide by 2020
