Implementation of Cross-Industrial Networks Targeting CO2 Reduction from a Systemic Approach

Abstract

Within the Carbon2Chem® project, unavoidable CO2 emissions are used creating a new type of production network comprising a steelworks and chemical production. In the second project phase (2020–2024), the focus lies on additional expansion of already developed cross-industrial networks as well as the implementation of additional ones (i.e., based on alternative CO2 sources) from an integral perspective that includes process simulation, process design, ecological and economic evaluation, and finally scale up. Moreover, the most promising process concepts will be further developed to a higher degree of detail aiming industrial implementation.
