Worley has been selected by Dow to deliver front-end engineering design (FEED) services under a new engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) contract for the cogeneration scope of the Path2Zero project in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.
Dow’s Path2Zero expansion is set to become the world’s first net-zero emissions integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site in terms of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Worley’s scope includes a brownfield cogeneration facility with integrated post-combustion carbon capture, targeted for operation toward the end of 2030.
The Path2Zero initiative is a flagship development for Dow and the wider industry, designed to decarbonize around 20% of Dow’s global ethylene capacity while tripling polyethylene output at the site. Once complete, the facility is expected to produce 3.2 million metric tonnes of certified low- to zero-carbon polyethylene and derivatives annually, supporting customers and partners worldwide.
Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley, said: “The award reflects Worley’s strategic focus on expanding full project delivery solutions for our customers globally.”
He added that Dow’s Path2Zero project is reshaping industrial decarbonization by combining Worley’s expertise in project delivery and carbon capture with Dow’s vision, enabling one of the world’s first fully integrated cogeneration and carbon capture facilities, and demonstrating how collaboration can accelerate net-zero operations at scale.
Tim Burnham, Senior Vice President, Worley Canada, noted that the project reflects a shared commitment to advancing industrial decarbonization and establishing new benchmarks for cogeneration and carbon capture while supporting Dow’s sustainability goals as Path2Zero progresses.
The project will be executed by Worley’s Canada and India-based Global Integrated Delivery team, supported by its global engineering network.
