The facility, which has just started up its operations, is designed to separate, purify and compress a CO2 emissions volume estimated at approximately 25,000 tons per year. The project is delivering a reduction of over 90% of CO₂ emissions, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Operating at carbon concentration lower than 3% and at atmospheric pressure, making the facility the world’s first industrial-scale project with such high levels of carbon capture efficiency.
This project is the first carbon capture plant in Italy and, by supporting the phase 1 of Ravenna CCS, it represents a milestone to consolidate the complete CCS value chain, from capture to sequestration, which is a decarbonisation solution of growing importance playing a critical role in environmental sustainability.
As a technology provider, NEXTCHEM has developed its own innovative process design to integrate a third-party technology, effectively enabling CO_2_ capture from emissions gasses with high efficiency and low power consumption even at extremely low concentrations.
With this project, NEXTCHEM strengthens its track record in CO₂ capture solutions, which are now part of the NX Decarb™ technology aiming at enhancing the efficiency of carbon capture by optimizing heat management and energy use.
Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, said: “As a Group, we are dedicated to the development of new high-performance solutions which help decarbonize the hard-to-abate industries. This project is a recognition of our technology offering for prominent market players and our role in boosting the Italian industrial supply chain*.*”
