Applications
CO2 Recovery
from Stack Gas
The recovery of CO₂ from stack gas sources offers industrial companies the opportunity to specifically reduce unavoidable emissions whilst simultaneously making valuable CO₂ available for further applications. As flue gases usually contain only low levels of CO₂, this technology focuses on the efficient capture, purification and processing of the CO₂ they contain.
On this page, you will find an overview of the key applications and sectors in which CO₂ recovery from stack gas can make a significant contribution to decarbonisation and improving resource efficiency.
Biomass and Waste-to-Energy Plants
Flue gases from the combustion of organic waste, wood or biomass contain CO₂, which can be captured and reused.
Energy & Power Generation Industry
Coal-fired power stations, gas-fired power stations and biomass plants produce flue gas containing CO₂, which can be captured and used for industrial applications or storage.
Gas Industry
CO₂ can be recovered from the exhaust gases produced during the manufacture of oxygen, nitrogen, argon or industrial gases, thereby making efficient use of resources and reducing emissions.
Food & Beverage Industry
Exhaust gases from steam generators, boilers or burners used in food and drink production contain CO₂, which can be recovered and reused in food production.
Chemical Industry
Chemical production processes, such as the manufacture of urea, methanol or acids, produce flue gases containing CO₂, which can be recovered and reused.
Oil Industry
Flue gas from refinery processes, such as distillation, cracking or hydrodesulphurisation, provides CO₂ that can be reused for industrial applications.
Cement Industry
Flue gas from rotary kilns, preheaters or lime-burning processes contains CO₂, which can be captured and used for industrial purposes.
Desalination
CO₂ from the combustion processes of steam generators or burner systems can be recovered to improve the efficiency of desalination plants.
Metal & Steel Works
CO₂ can be recovered from blast furnaces, converters or smelting processes in steel and metal production in order to reduce emissions and use resources efficiently.
