Aker Carbon Capture has been awarded a feasibility study for the development of two carbon capture plants for Röhm, a leading chemicals manufacturer, to capture nearly 500,000 tons CO2 per year.
The collaboration brings together Aker Carbon Capture's proprietary amine technology with Röhm's experience in manufacturing methyl methacrylate-based products. These products are used in applications ranging from paint and materials for automotive to medical applications. The collaboration aims to support the decarbonization ambitions of both Röhm and the German industry, while the study also strengthens Aker Carbon Capture's presence in the maturing German market.
"We are delighted to be working with one of the leading manufacturers in the German chemical industry to reduce emissions," said
"The carbon capture technology for separating and concentrating carbon dioxide from flue gas of our processes opens several options for Röhm. On the one hand, the captured CO2 can be transferred and stored in empty gas fields, so-called carbon capture and storage. On the other hand, the CO2 can be utilized as raw material to produce methyl methacrylate. For example, CO2 can be converted into methanol or acetone, contributing to the transition to a circular economy," explains
