The CO2 crash diet for industry
The carbon clock is ticking – and we are rapidly running out of time. Over 1300 tons of this harmful greenhouse gas are emitted into the earth’s atmosphere every second. How much time does the world actually have to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius? The bottom line is that global emissions must be reduced – dramatically and as quickly as possible in order to mitigate the harmful effects of climate change. The industry is one of the biggest emitters of carbon dioxide. So there is an urgent need to develop CO2 emission reduction solutions for industry, bring them to market and deploy them.
Roadmap to zero-emission petrochemicals
We have developed a step-by-step roadmap to achieve the net-zero CO2 emissions target. The first step entails maximizing plant efficiency. After that, we apply advanced and proven technologies to further avoid or reduce carbon emissions. Linde has time-proven engineering execution competence, coupled with an outstanding technology portfolio, strong research and development capabilities as well as experience across a wide range of industries and process plants, including petrochemical, hydrogen, CO2 processing, air separation and adsorption plants. Now, this broad portfolio and proven expertise are providing an all-important advantage in the move to improve carbon management in petrochemical plants.
Ready for zero emissions
Linde has developed a carbon management toolbox for sustainable olefin technologies. Bundling Linde’s broad portfolio into a single holistic solution, this toolbox allows petrochemical companies to vastly improve the sustainability of their operations. Potential measures range from staged, short-term improvements of existing plants to zero-emission designs utilizing technologies already available or which will be available in the foreseeable future. The toolbox combines best-in-class efficiency with maximum circularity concepts and technology building blocks optimally aligned with site-specific conditions, customer-specific requirements and CO2 reduction targets.
