Circular systems & emission reduction

Circular systems & emission reduction

The steel, cement, and chemical industries collectively emit over 11.9 gigatons of CO₂ annually – an alarming figure by any standard.  

At the same time, only 9 % of plastics are recycled, pointing to a significant opportunity to advance circular economy and emission reduction solutions. 

At thyssenkrupp Uhde, we’ve integrated circular economy principles into industrial processes, developing innovative technologies that reduce emissions and enhance resource efficiency. 

Circular systems & emission reduction

NOx abatement with EnviNOx® technology

NOx Abatement with EnviNOx® TechnologyNOx Abatement with EnviNOx® Technology

Nitrogen oxide and Nitrous oxide emissions are significant contributors to air pollution and climate change. Our EnviNOx® technology offers advanced NOx and N2O abatement solutions. As a Best Available Technology (BAT), it reliably reduces emissions close to zero, supporting compliance with stringent environmental regulations. 

Carbon capture for hard-to-abate sectors

Carbon Capture for Hard-to-Abate SectorsCarbon Capture for Hard-to-Abate Sectors

Decarbonizing energy-intensive industries is critical for achieving our collective climate goals. Our amine-based CO2 recovery systems tackle this challenge by capturing CO2 from both process and flue gases, enabling customers to meet government-set targets while laying the groundwork for a low-carbon economy. 

Phosphogypsum Recycling

Phosphogypsum RecyclingPhosphogypsum Recycling

Phosphogypsum, a byproduct of phosphoric acid production for fertilizers, often ends up in landfills, posing environmental risks. Our innovative processes enable its recycling and repurposing, recovering valuable elements and preventing contamination. 

Low-emission coke plant technology

Low-emission coke plant technology Sustainable Coke Plant Technology

Coke production is a cornerstone of the steel industry but comes with environmental challenges. Delivering world-leading, high efficiency coke plants, our technology is also capable of overhauling facilities with room for improvement.  

Bio-based & biodegradable plastics / PLAneo® technology

Bio-Based and Biodegradable Plastics with PLAneo® TechnologyBio-Based and Biodegradable Plastics with PLAneo® Technology

Plastics are an integral part of modern life, but their environmental impact is undeniable. To support a more sustainable approach to material production, our PLAneo® technology produces polylactic acid (PLA), a bio-based, biodegradable plastic.

Recycled PET for a circular plastics economy

Recycled PET for a Circular Plastics EconomyRecycled PET for a Circular Plastics Economy

Recycling plastics is essential to reducing waste and conserving resources. With our FTR® process, today up to 50 % recycled material can be used in virgin PET production, delivering food-grade quality and contributing to a circular plastics economy.
