CO₂ as a raw material
Green CO₂ as a raw material
CO₂ removed from the atmosphere using the CLP process and recovered in a usable form opens up new opportunities for a climate-neutral industry. Instead of treating CO₂ as waste, we use it as a raw material for synthetic fuels, building materials and chemical products, thereby creating a regenerative carbon cycle.
At a time when industrial processes need to be decarbonised and energy sources converted, the use of this recovered CO₂ enables climate protection and economic value creation to be combined. It thus becomes a central component of a sustainable, future-proof raw material base.
What is CO₂ from non-fossil sources?
CO₂ from non-fossil sources does not originate from the combustion of fossil fuels, but from natural or industrial processes that are already part of the short-cycle carbon cycle. These include biogenic sources such as biomass or residues from agriculture and forestry, as well as processes in which CO₂ is captured directly from the atmosphere or from industrial waste gas streams. CO₂ obtained through these processes – in particular through atmospheric capture using technologies such as CLP – can be used as a raw material without causing additional fossil emissions. It forms the basis for a climate-neutral carbon economy.
