Clean chemicals & energy vector

The global shift toward cleaner chemicals and fuels is at a tipping point.

Aviation and maritime industries alone contribute 5% of global GHG emissions, and as travel and trade continue to grow, there is an urgent need for sustainable alternatives.  

At thyssenkrupp Uhde, we understand that the journey toward cleaner options is complex, requiring close partnerships and seamless execution in addition to innovative technologies.  

Our solutions for the clean chemicals and energy industries are geared to enable customers to achieve their sustainability goals while maintaining operational efficiency, reliability, and profitability. 

No matter the scale of your operations: Our experience and expertise span a variety of project sizes and complexity levels, up to world-scale, integrated production complexes.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and biofuel with biomass gasification

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Biofuel with Biomass GasificationSustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Biofuel with Biomass Gasification

Using our proven and proprietary PRENFLO® gasification process, we enable the production of biofuels and SAF from biomass. These advanced fuels significantly reduce carbon emissions, helping them meet their sustainability targets.

Efficient ammonia cracking

Efficient Ammonia CrackingEfficient Ammonia Cracking

The future of hydrogen as a key energy source will be paramount, and we are enabling the long-distance transportation of hydrogen between supply and demand locations, facilitating a smoother transition to a low-carbon energy future. Our advanced ammonia cracking technology converts low-carbon ammonia back into hydrogen, providing a flexible and efficient pathway for hydrogen transport and utilization. 

Clean ammonia as a fuel
