KBR Acquires Acetica – a Carbon Utilization Technology

KBR announced that it has acquired Acetica, an acetic acid production technology, which expands KBR’s petrochemicals value chain through a profitable pathway for CO2 utilization.

This technology will enable the back-integration of CO2 from carbon capture to produce high value chemicals such as Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), which is a key ingredient in sustainable coatings, adhesives, and other materials that support a net-zero transition. KBR is the only independent global licensor of acetic acid technology.
