Agilyx´s Styrenyx Technology Reduces Carbon Footprint in Styrene Manufacturing Up To 86%

Published

on

OSLO, Norway, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Agilyx ASA (OSE: AGLX) (OTCQX: AGXXF) (“Agilyx” or “the company”) announces that production of styrene via Styrenyx, its proprietary polystyrene recycling technology, significantly reduces carbon equivalent emissions compared to producing styrene from fossil resources. 

To better assess the carbon footprint of our advanced recycling, post-consumer waste circular styrene production, Agilyx commissioned Sphera Solutions, Inc. to perform a cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint (PCF) and compare results to conventional production of styrene from fossil resources. Results indicate that Agilyx’s process lowers carbon equivalent emissions by 38% using average grid electricity and 86% using wind electricity as compared to conventional styrene made from fossil resources.  The study has been conducted according to the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14067:2019-02 (ISO, 2019) and is currently undergoing independent critical review by 3rd party expert, in accordance with ISO/TS 14071:2014 (ISO, 2024). The expert review is expected to be complete in Q2 2025. 

For context, these results indicate that an Agilyx facility producing 18,000 metric tons of styrene annually and powered by grid electricity could reduce the equivalent of ~15,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions compared to conventional styrene. This is equivalent to removing ~3,500 gasoline cars off the road for a year (~6.4 million litres /1.7 million gallons of gasoline) or the amount of CO2 sequestered by 245,000 tree seedlings over a decade (US EPA, 2024). Global production of styrene is projected to reach 16.75 million tonnes by 2026. If 10% of this volume were produced using Styrenyx, it would be the equivalent to removing 325,000 gasoline cars from the road annually.   

“We are extremely encouraged by these results and remain committed to further reducing our carbon footprint” said Chris Faulkner, Chief Technology Officer of Agilyx. “By leveraging sustainable energy sources and innovative recycling technologies, we will reduce global carbon emissions and help solve the plastic waste challenge.”

Foreigners celebrate Chinese New Year in Yulin City: making silver jewellery, clay sculpture and paper-cutting

Published

YULIN, China, March 24, 2025 /CNW/ — A news report from Yulin Media Center:

In 2024, the Chinese New Year was officially inscribed on the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Nowadays, more than 20 countries around the world have officially recognized the Chinese New Year as an official holiday, celebrated by one-fifth of the world’s population. In Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, a fortress of the Great Wall with thousand-year history, an important post on the Silk Road blended the cultures of the Chinese nationalities, people witness unique festive customs and folk skills for generations of the World Intangible Cultural Heritage.

In the Intangible Cultural Heritage protection centre in Yuyang district of Yulin City, the filigree inlay skills of silversmith Yang’s family, passed down for five generations, are amazing. Originating from Ming Dynasty, Yulin silver jewellery combines the Central Plains and nomadic aesthetics. Making this kind of silver jewellery needs dozens of burring processes. After trying to make silver jewellery of Chinese knot, foreign friends exclaimed, “this kind of precision craftsmanship gives us a chance to understand superb craftsmanship of Chinese craftsmen.”

In a clay sculpture workshop, Master Cui used yellow clay to shape a variety of scenes from northern Shaanxi. Originating in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yulin clay sculptures are characterised by a strong sense of life. Old farmers in the fields and street performers are brought to life by the craftsmen. A foreigner holding his statuary “old man with a pipe” said, “the Chinese people’s deep understanding of life is hidden in the clay.”

At the pavilion of paper-cutting artist Master Dong, foreign friends learned a multi-layer hollowing paper-cutting skill. Yulin paper-cutting has developed over the centuries. Craftsmen use scissors to cut out a scroll of northern Shaanxi folklore. When the Chinese-New-Year-themed paper cutting was completed commonly, all experiencers wished: “may this art, which carries the wisdom of the East, be seen by the world.”

From silver jewellery to clay sculpture to paper-cutting, Yulin’s craftsmen tell a story of cultural inheritance with intangible cultural heritage skills. When foreigners touch these ancient arts, Chinese New Year is not only a festival, but an important access for the world to perceive Eastern civilisation. The cultural gene traversed thousands of years, is blossoming into a new glory in the global dialogue of civilisations.

Software developed in Japan is fully customizable from set-up through operation and is available via GitHub

KAWASAKI, Japan, March 24, 2025 /CNW/ — Fujitsu Limited today announced the launch of an open-source operations software for quantum computers on GitHub, in what is one of the largest open-source initiatives of its kind globally. The Open Quantum Toolchain for Operators and Users software, developed with the University of Osaka, Systems Engineering Consultants Co., LTD., and TIS Inc., can be customized to meet individual user needs and is expected to help make practical quantum computing a reality.

Until now, universities and companies seeking to make their quantum computers accessible via the cloud have had to independently develop extensive software to enable cloud-based operation. By offering this open-source software—covering everything from setup to operation—Fujitsu and the research partners have lowered the barrier to deploying quantum computers in the cloud.

Fujitsu will make the software available as part of its existing service for research partner companies using its quantum computers in the second half of 2025.

Moving forward, Fujitsu will work with the research partners to drive the advancement of quantum computing through the continuous expansion of this software’s capabilities and the development of a thriving global community.
