Abundia Completes Process Design Package for Texas Waste Plastics Facility — Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc.

Event summary

Abundia Global Impact Group completed the process design package (PDP) with Alterra Energy for its Cedar Port waste plastics-to-fuels facility in Baytown, Texas.
The PDP establishes site-specific engineering designs for deploying Alterra’s proprietary plastics liquefaction technology at the 80,000 tons-per-annum facility.
Next steps include integrating Topsoe’s HydroFlex™ upgrading technology with Alterra’s system into a single commercial design package.
Nexus PMG and Burns & McDonnell are facilitating the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) program for project execution, procurement, financing, and Final Investment Decision (FID).

The big picture

Abundia’s completion of the PDP marks a critical step in advancing its waste-to-value strategy amid growing demand for low-carbon energy solutions. The integration of Alterra’s and Topsoe’s technologies positions Abundia at the forefront of the Gulf Coast’s energy and chemical infrastructure, leveraging regional supply chains and end markets. Success here could set a precedent for similar circular economy projects in high-waste regions.
