Traditional separations are the industry’s greatest energy and cost burden, yet they offer our biggest opportunity to modernize the global supply chain. By adopting non-thermal technologies, we can slash operational costs and emissions while simplifying the logistics of chemical production.
This article underscores why the chemical industry must transition from traditional centralized production toward localized, agile manufacturing to better navigate supply chain volatility and environmental challenges. By adopting these decentralized structures, companies can leverage modular production to increase operational resilience and respond more rapidly to specific regional market demands.
Solidec has been selected by NASA for SBIR funding to advance the development of our hydrogen peroxide-producing electrolyzer – a technology with potential applications in onboard disinfection and water treatment during long-duration space missions.
Solidec has announced a landmark partnership with Lynas Rare Earths, the world’s only commercial producer of separated light and heavy rare earth oxides outside China. The collaboration will deploy a first-of-its-kind onsite hydrogen peroxide generator at Lynas’s facility in Australia – a key step toward cleaner, more efficient, and more secure chemical supply chains for critical mineral production.
