Columbus/USA — The new unit will be able to produce 96 Nm³/h (3650 SCF/h) CO at ultra-high purity and is expected to be commissioned in the summer of 2020. The unit is modular which ensures a small footprint and fast installation on site. The lease and service agreement includes continual operational optimization and electrolysis maintenance and training of operators.

Haldor Topsoe's Ecos solution reduces CO₂ to CO by electrolysis. The process emits only oxygen and can be powered by green electricity from wind turbines or solar panels. In this case, the production is completely carbon-neutral. In the longer run, this technology is to open up for a whole new segment of green and sustainable chemicals from renewable carbon sources. It can be applied at industrial complexes in order to utilize CO₂ as a feedstock to produce valuable chemicals and significantly reduce CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere. Onsite CO generation is a significant development for the pharmaceutical, metallurgy, electronics and specialty chemicals industries that use carbon monoxide in their production processes as well as gas distributors.
