CO₂ recovery from the combustion of organic waste, wood or biomass
CO₂ Recovery from Biomass and Waste-to-Energy Plants
Biomass and waste incineration plants play a key role in energy generation and waste reduction. However, this process produces flue gases containing CO₂. Using state-of-the-art recovery technology, these CO₂ emissions can be efficiently separated and reused for industrial applications or stored in a climate-friendly manner. ASCO supports companies not only in complying with environmental regulations, but also in making economic use of the potential of their exhaust gas streams.
Typical Applications
Flue gases from thermal waste treatment
The thermal treatment of municipal waste produces CO₂, which is often free of unwanted impurities. ASCO systems reliably extract this CO₂ and process it so that it can be used as a sustainable raw material for industrial processes or dry ice production. This not only reduces the environmental impact but also strengthens the company’s recycling cycle.
Combustion of biogenic residues
Agricultural residues and biogas residues contain high-purity CO₂. Through recovery, these emissions can be converted into useful products – whether for food and beverage applications, dry ice production or industrial processes. Companies benefit from efficient resource utilisation whilst simultaneously strengthening their climate strategy.
Combined heat and power (CHP)
plants CHP plants generate both electricity and heat and emit flue gas rich in CO₂. With targeted flue gas treatment, CO₂ emissions can be significantly reduced, whilst the recovered CO₂ can be fed back into production. In this way, companies actively contribute to reducing greenhouse gases and optimise their energy and resource efficiency.
Advantages of CO₂ Recovery in this Sector
- Economic added value: The recovered CO₂ can be sold or used in other industries, generating additional revenue.
- Climate protection & sustainability: CO₂ capture significantly reduces the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, making a measurable contribution to achieving global climate targets.
- Resource efficiency: CO₂, which would otherwise escape unused, is utilised as a valuable raw material.
- Minimising emissions: Targeted recovery significantly reduces the environmental impact of exhaust gases from biomass and waste incineration plants.
- Regulatory compliance: Companies meet legal requirements regarding emission limits efficiently and reliably.
- System integration: The solution can be seamlessly integrated into existing flue gas and energy processes.
ASCO – Your Partner for Efficient CO₂ Recovery
The recovered CO₂ can be fed directly into industrial applications, used for dry ice production or processed as a raw material for chemical processes. ASCO supports companies from planning through to installation and operation of the plant to ensure maximum efficiency, process reliability and sustainability. This not only creates economic added value but also makes a measurable contribution to reducing greenhouse gases.
