Carbon2Chem® Project: Transforming Industrial Emissions into Sustainable Chemicals
Key Ideas
  • Carbon2Chem® project enters its third phase, focusing on converting blast furnace gases into valuable chemical products like fuels, plastics, and fertilizers.
  • Second phase achievements include successful methanol production, effective hydrogen storage, and qualification of additional carbon sources for methanol.
  • New challenges in the third phase involve adapting to changing conditions, studying methanol and hydrogen production and storage, and developing a new generation of electrolyzers.
  • Project partners BASF, EY Consulting GmbH, and universities are contributing to the project, aiming to make a significant impact on sustainable industrial transformation.
The Carbon2Chem® project, led by thyssenkrupp in collaboration with research institutes, is advancing into its third phase with a focus on converting industrial emissions into valuable chemicals. The project has received a €50 million grant, showcasing its potential for industrial decarbonization. Successful demonstrations in the second phase include methanol production and efficient hydrogen storage. The third phase will address new challenges, such as adapting to changing conditions and expanding production to include sustainable aviation fuels. Partners like BASF and universities join the project to contribute to a sustainable industrial transformation.
