Delivering FEED for Dow's Path2Zero cogen project in Canada. Worley's global team is helping Dow set a new benchmark for industrial decarbonization. Worley has been selected by Dow to provide front-end engineering design (FEED) services under a new engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) contract for the cogeneration component of Dow's Path2Zero project in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. Dow's Path2Zero expansion project will create the world's first net-zero emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site with respect to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Worley's scope includes a brownfield installation of a cogeneration facility with integrated post-combustion carbon capture that is expected to be operational towards the end of 2030. Path2Zero is a flagship project for Dow and the industry, aiming to decarbonize 20 percent of Dow's global ethylene capacity and triple the site's polyethylene output. The facility will produce 3.2 million metric tonnes of certified low- to zero-carbon polyethylene and derivatives annually, supporting Dow's customers and partners worldwide. The work will be delivered by Worley's Canada and India-based Global Integrated Delivery team, supported by Worley's global network. Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley, said "The award reflects Worley's strategic focus on expanding full project delivery solutions for its customers globally. "Dow's Path2Zero project is redefining what's possible for industrial decarbonization. By bringing together our project delivery and carbon capture expertise with Dow's vision, we're enabling one of the world's first fully integrated cogeneration and carbon capture facilities, demonstrating how collaboration can accelerate the shift to net zero operations at scale," he said. Tim Burnham, Sr. Vice President, Worley Canada, added "This landmark project with Dow reflects a shared commitment to advancing industrial decarbonization. Together, we're aiming to set new benchmarks for cogeneration and carbon capture facilities and support Dow's sustainability ambitions as Path2Zero progresses." Discover more
Partnering for a more circular economy. April 22, 2026 Across the petrochemical industry, companies are recognizing that building a circular economy for plastics isn't a solo endeavor - it's a collective mission. Through strategic partnerships, manufacturers are taking a comprehensive approach to increasing recycling and tackling hard-to-recycle materials across sectors. Companies are tackling specialized plastic products with unique challenges to collecting, sorting and recycling. American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers see challenges like this in healthcare plastics, which can be at risk of contamination, or have products made up of multiple materials that can make them difficult to sort and break down. Westlake Chemical, in partnership with Houston Methodist Hospital, launched the "Choose Pink" campaign - Houston's first healthcare-focused PVC recycling program. By collecting items like masks, saline bags, and oxygen tubing, and transforming them into new products such as exercise mats and cord protectors, Westlake is proving that even specialized plastics can be reintegrated into the circular economy. More companies are teaming up to find new ways to make products that are designed to be reused or recycled back into themselves - rather than thrown away. One example: Dow's MobilityScience(TM) team has partnered with Jaguar Land Rover and Adient to recycle car seat foam. Together, they've created a system that takes polyurethane foam from old car seats, recycles it and turns it into brand new foam for new seats - instead of sending it to the landfill. It's the first time this kind of closed-loop recycling content is expected to be used in automotive production. Together, these initiatives reflect a broader trend - petrochemical companies are joining forces across sectors to build the infrastructure, technologies and systems needed for a circular economy for plastics. Whether through community engagement, cross-industry innovation or investment in advanced facilities, these partnerships are reshaping how materials flow through society. "Building a more circular economy for plastics requires more than innovation - it demands partnership. Across our industry, companies are coming together to rethink how materials are collected, sorted, recycled and reused. We're not just reducing waste - we're creating systems that keep valuable materials in use and deliver real environmental benefits." - Rob Benedict, Vice President Midstream and Petrochemicals, AFPM Media Contact: Ericka Perryman About AFPM: The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is the leading trade association representing the makers of the fuels that keep American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers moving, the petrochemicals that are the essential building blocks for modern life, and the midstream companies that get its feedstocks and products where they need to go. American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers make the products that make life better, safer and more sustainable - American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers make progress.
