Roehm eyes carbon capture for German chemical plants
Chemicals company contracts Norway’s Aker Carbon Capture for feasibility study of project to deploy two capture facilities
Chemicals company Roehm is working on a project to potentially deploy two carbon capture facilities at its German production plants with a capacity of about 500,000t/yr of CO₂. Roehm, one of Germany’s largest chemicals producers, has commissioned Norwegian CCS specialist Aker Carbon Capture to carry out a feasibility study of the project with a view to deploying Aker’s proprietary amine capture technology. “The carbon capture technology for separating and concentrating carbon dioxide from the flue gas of our processes opens several options for Roehm,” says Steffen Krill, head of sustainability transformation at Roehm, which has 13 sites in Germany and a presence in the US, China and South Af
