NEXTepisode S01E04: Luca Botti on rethinking waste as a resource

In this episode of NEXTepisode, we speak with Luca Botti, Circular Solutions expert at NEXTCHEM (MAIRE Group), about rethinking waste as a resource. From municipal solid waste to plastics and even CO₂, Luca explains how advanced technologies like gasification and pyrolysis are helping close the loop and bring materials back into the value chain. We explore why “waste” is no longer the end of the story and how both industry and consumers can drive change. The takeaway: the technologies are ready — now it’s about scaling adoption and shifting mindsets. #Sustainability #Decarbonization #NEXTCHEM #MAIRE

NEXTepisode S01E03: Stephen Zwart on ammonia technology and its role in the energy transition

Ammonia is more than just an intermediate chemical product, it is set to play a key role in the energy transition. In our new NEXTepsiode, we sit down with @Stephen Zwart, VP for Ammonia, Urea, and Nitrates at @Stamicarbon, to discuss how the industry is redefining its role in a changing energy landscape. We explore how integrated plant concepts unlock new efficiencies, how technology pathways are evolving, and what it takes to scale ammonia as both an energy carrier and a sustainable fertilizer feedstock. From market dynamics to technology highlights, Stephen shares a his view on where opportunities lie and what challenges still need to be addressed. Don't miss out on this discussion that brings together technology, strategy, and insights into the future of the nitrogen industry. #Ammonia #Decarbonization #NEXTCHEM #MAIRE

NEXTepisode S01E02: Christina Grazzotti, on Real Tradeoffs Behind Decarbonized Hydrogen

Hydrogen is changing from a quiet refinery utility to a frontline decarbonization tool, and the biggest shift is how we make it.  In episode 2 of NEXTepisode, host Mark Sleijser sits down with Christina Grazzotti, Head of Technology Solutions at KT Tech, to map the real choices behind low‑carbon hydrogen: modernized SMR with carbon capture, autothermal reforming that moves heat inside the reactor, catalytic partial oxidation that eliminates furnaces, and an electrified reformer that runs on clean power. If you have ever wondered when to choose SMR vs ATR vs CPO, this conversation gives you clear capacity ranges, carbon intensity impacts, and the project realities that decide the winner. #Hydrogen #Decarbonization #NEXTCHEM #MAIRE

NEXTepisode S01E01: Fabio Fritelli on how to make the energy transition happen

In this inaugural episode, Fabio Fritelli, CEO of Nextchem, outlines a pragmatic strategy for making the energy transition happen. The discussion focuses on integrating a diversified portfolio of technologies—including sustainable fertilizers, hydrogen, methanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and circular economy platforms—into commercially viable solutions.
