Engineering and project delivery group Worley has been selected by Dow to provide front‑end engineering design (FEED) services for the cogeneration component of the Path2Zero project at Dow’s Fort Saskatchewan site in Alberta, Canada. The contract falls under a new engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) framework and targets a brownfield cogeneration facility with integrated post‑combustion carbon capture, aligned with Dow’s goal of achieving net zero scope 1 and 2 emissions at the world’s first fully integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives complex.
The proposed cogeneration plant will replace aging assets with a new natural‑gas‑fired facility of up to 466 MW, supported by an integrated post‑combustion carbon capture unit. The project is expected to be operational by the late 2030s, with work delivered by Worley’s Global Integrated Delivery team across Canada and India.
Worley CEO Chris Ashton said the award reflects the company’s focus on expanding full‑cycle project delivery for industrial decarbonisation. The Path2Zero project represents a flagship example of how large‑scale cogeneration and carbon capture can be combined to reduce emissions from petrochemical operations while maintaining reliable steam and power supply to the ethylene complex and derivatives units.
