About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
Eastman is developing a molecular recycling facility in Longview, Texas, incorporating thermal energy storage and on-site solar power to decarbonize process heating. The project uses recycled plastic waste as feedstock for virgin-quality PET production, achieving significantly lower carbon intensity than fossil-based processes. Evidence: "The facility plans to use thermal energy storage combined with on-site solar power to decarbonize process heating operations, resulting in a product with 70% lower carbon intensity compared to fossil virgin PET." — https://www.energy.gov/cmei/oced/industrial-demonstrations-program-selections-award-negotiations-chemicals-and-refining
