Ludwigshafen/Germany – BASF and Andritz Group have recently signed a license agreement for the use of BASF’s proprietary gas treatment technology, OASE blue, in a carbon capture project planned to be implemented in the city of Aarhus, Denmark. The project aims to capture approximately 435,000 tons of CO2 annually from the flue gases of a waste-to-energy plant for sequestration; the city of Aarhus has set itself the goal of becoming CO2-neutral by 2030. Andritz, the selected supplier for the carbon capture plant, is currently conducting pre-engineering. The project’s implementation is contingent upon the customer receiving funding from the Danish CCS fund.

As a supplier of complete carbon capture plants, Andritz selected the proven OASE blue technology based on BASF’s extensive track record and deep chemical expertise. This expertise is needed because of the increasing focus on emission limits for post-combustion carbon capture units, where evolving regulations and complex flue gas compositions pose significant challenges.
