The cement industry is one of the world's biggest emitters of carbon dioxide. Around three billion tons of C02 are attributable to cement production each year. A new research project can help decarbonize it in the future.
Without cement, our cities as we know them would not exist. But the production of the popular building material is responsible for around 7-8% of global CO2 emissions. As a technology partner, thyssenkrupp Polysius supplies innovative technologies to support cement producers in decarbonizing the industry.
Ammonia can play a decisive role in driving forward the green transformation of industry - as a transport medium for green and clean hydrogen. thyssenkrupp Uhde has set itself the goal of developing an efficient ammonia cracking process.
thyssenkrupp Materials Services is a global company with around 380 locations in over 30 countries, 15,300 employees, and 250,000 customers. Such a presence carries responsibility – and the opportunity to drive positive change.
thyssenkrupp is actively shaping the transition to a climate-neutral industrial economy with the Decarbon Technologies segment. Decarbonisation will generally be achieved through leading global key technologies in the hydrogen, ammonia, cement and lime, polymers and renewable energies sectors.
One key aspect in the energy transition? Clearly wind energy! With our Pitch Bearing Unit, we have developed an innovation for wind energy to drive forward the expansion of renewable energies through wind power.
Decarbonizing the cement industy:
With polysius® pure oxyfuel and meca-clay thyssenkrupp Polysius offers key technologies to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cement production, empowering the industry on its way from #grey2green.
Decarbonization in the process chain: In future, thyssenkrupp Rasselstein will use hydrogen instead of natural gas in the production of packaging steel.
How successful have we been in combating climate change and how can we enable the green transformation of the industry? That's what this year's COP28 climate conference is all about. Find what impact thyssenkrupp technologies can have on climate protection.
Slewing bearings, electrolyzes, green ammonia and methanol plants, as well as carbon capture and utilization technologies for the cement industry - thyssenkrupp is consolidating its key technologies for the green transformation under one roof.
Think what it would mean if everyday items such as shoes and mattresses could be produced sustainably! thyssenkrupp Uhde is engineering and developing sustainable chemical plants that will turn this into reality.
By 2030 German industry will need more than twice as much green hydrogen as it does today. thyssenkrupp will become both a customer and a driver of the green hydrogen economy in the Ruhr region.
David Kosinski is studying industrial engineering at the renowned RWTH Aachen University. When he was looking for a job as a working student, there was no way around thyssenkrupp. As a working student at thyssenkrupp Services GmbH, David is independently responsible for sub-projects and, among other things, helps analyse the corporate carbon footprint of the entire group of companies.
Climate change already poses a serious threat in the present and will continue to influence our daily actions in the future. That is why we must take responsibility to drive the green transformation as a global player.
What is green methanol and can it make air travel more sustainable? Our experts at thyssenkrupp Uhde are asking themselves the same question. They are developing a sustainable aviation fuel based on green methanol.
If you want to move forward, you have to make a difference. And if you want to make your products more sustainable, you first need to know their carbon footprint.
Green hydrogen is a promising and sustainable energy carrier. However, its transport is anything but energy efficient. Our colleagues from thyssenkrupp Uhde explain why transporting hydrogen by ship is not sustainable and why green ammonia is a good solution.
