Step by step to fewer emissions
Catalyst versus no catalyst
EnviCat N2O-S: Converts up to 95% of N2O into harmless N2 and O2
EnviCat® N2O-S can improve the efficiency of the ammonia oxidation process, reduced ammonia consumption per ton of produced nitric acid
Achieved in commercial application without additional process or engineering costs.
New catalyst versus previous generation catalyst
Better performance enables CO2 emission reduction of up to 33% in various application:
New catalyst combined with new technology
Catalysis expertise meets innovative technology solutions. The result: 20% less CO2 emissions.
Together with our partner Technip Energies we developped a novel catalyst for the ground-breaking EARTH@ technology: It drastically improves the energy efficiency of SMR based hydrogen production and thus significantly reduces CO2 in the flue gas.
EARTH@ is a drop-in solution causing drastic reductions in emissions, fuel consumption and pressure drop. Being a breakthrough in steam methane reforming it reduces the CO2 footprint of the process up to 20%. EARTH@ supports meeting sustainability targets and improves plant productivity and efficiency.
Solving the challenge of chemical plastic recycling
Chemical plastic recycling is essential if we are to reduce the growing environmental burden of plastic waste. Instead of being incinerated or ending up in landfills, mixed plastic waste can be converted to pyrolysis oils, which can be used as feedstock for the sustainable production of valuable chemicals.
