Advanced Carbon Capture Solutions | Industrial CO2 Reduction
GEA offers a diverse range of Carbon Capture Solutions designed to help industries significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. Our systems achieve a capture rate of ≥ 90% while optimizing energy efficiency, providing tailored solutions for sectors like cement, steel, bioenergy, waste-to-energy and chemicals.
Catalytic gas cleaning
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) diminishes post-combustion NOx by reacting with urea or ammonia to produce nitrogen and water.
CO2 saving processes
CO2 savings come from reducing fossil fuel demand either by increasing energy efficiency or by separating CO2 from flue gas streams along with long-term fixation in valuable products or storage. GEA offers products and processes for all relevant stages.
Cooling, quenching & conditioning
The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.

GEA Insights
From fossil fuels to future-ready: The rise of heat pumps
While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
