GEA NAVO® voor benutting en vastlegging van CO2

Customized CO₂ capture and utilization

GEA offers a wide range of technologies for the utilization and storage of CO₂. Our carbon capture and utilization solutions are specifically tailored to the needs of the cement industry, chemical industry, iron and steel industry, waste management, bioenergy, and hard-to-abate industries. We use cutting-edge technologies to capture CO₂ efficiently and convert it into valuable products or store it safely. Our expertise covers the design, implementation, and maintenance of the plants.

CO₂ liquefaction: Optimal utilization of captured CO₂

In our carbon dioxide liquefaction plant, gaseous CO₂ is purified, compressed, and cooled to make it available as a liquid, food-grade product that complies with EIGA standards. This technology enables CO₂ in liquid form to be used directly or sold. We offer flexible solutions for collection by rail, truck, or pipeline. To increase flexibility and handle partial loads, the treatment plant can be extended with an intermediate storage facility. Additionally, the thermal energy generated during CO₂ compression can be reintegrated into a heat transfer system to promote sustainable and economical operation. This makes CO₂ liquefaction an attractive option for companies aiming to reduce their emissions and achieve economic benefits as well.

Methanol production from carbon dioxide and hydrogen: Sustainable chemical production

Methanol is a highly versatile chemical that is used as a direct fuel, as a precursor for advanced fuels and additives, and as a chemical building block for the production of valuable intermediates such as ethers and esters. The production of methanol from CO₂ and hydrogen requires complex synthesis and upgrading steps. GEA offers comprehensive solutions that cover the entire value chain from hydrogen and carbon dioxide to highly concentrated methanol. Due to our industrial partnerships, we can ensure that our customers have access to state-of-the-art technologies and processes to produce methanol efficiently and sustainably. This not only helps to reduce CO₂ emissions but also offers economic benefits by using a valuable co-product.

Carbonate production without hydrogen: Efficient utilization of carbon dioxide

Compared to other ways of using CO₂, the production of carbonates has the advantage that no activation of the CO₂ with hydrogen is required. Carbonates are widely used in various industries, such as glass, chemicals, pulp and paper, iron and steel, and are used for a variety of purposes. The extensive experience of GEA in crystallization technologies, enables us to act as a technology supplier for carbonate and bicarbonate projects with a production capacity of several 100 tons per day.
