Vioneo

A.P. Moller Holding plans an initial investment of 1.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion) to build a fossil-free plastics production facility in the Belgian port of Antwerp, through its new venture Vioneo.

Vioneo, founded by A.P. Moller Holding, aims to build a large-scale fossil-free plastics production plant in Antwerp, Belgium. The plant will produce about 300,000 tonnes of fossil-free plastics annually, representing a €1.5 billion investment, with a final investment decision possible in 2025.

Vioneo, a venture of AP Moller, has selected Lummus Technology to supply polypropylene production technology for its green methanol-to-polymers plant in Antwerp, Belgium. The plant will have a total capacity of 300,000 t/yr (200,000 t/yr PP, 100,000 t/yr PE) and is targeting startup in 2028, pending a final investment decision.
