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.
Saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions are investments that will not only provide competitive advantages in the face of increasing costs for CO2 emissions but will also help preserve the environment for future generations.
GEA contributes to take action against climate change with its Emission Control Technologies and focusses on providing waste heat recovery equipment for off-gas streams, advanced gas purification technologies for the treatment of gases prior to CO2 separation units and CO2 separation solutions to help clients be prepared for the transition from the fossil-based to a low-carbon economy while obtaining value on top, thanks to GEA´s CO2 reutilization strategies.
GEA has an available pilot unit that allows customers to test GEA´s CO2 separation technology with the actual gas matrix at their own premises. This offers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by either operating the unit independently or by closely monitoring the operation of the unit.
GEA targets markets and applications in the manufacturing industry, where unavoidable process-related CO2 emissions are expected on the long-term.
Besides, GEA also intends to contribute in the field of energy or chemicals production from biomass along with the possibility to realize net negative anthropogenic CO2 emissions through utilizing or removing biogenic CO2 from the global carbon cycle.

Flue Gas Pre-treatment
GEA’s flue gas pretreatment provides advanced flue gas purification beyond emission control standards.
Waste Heat Recovery Unit
Energy saving is a key success factor when trying to achieve a reduction of the carbon footprint, it can be made by improving process efficiency to recover waste heat, not only from the production process, but also from the hot process gas that in many cases is simply released into the atmosphere, unutilized. GEA offers reliable and highly effici...

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.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
