CO2Neichem

The CO2Neichem project aims to develop a CO2-neutral energy system for heat-intensive industrial sites. Concepts will be developed to cover the heat demand, mainly in the form of process steam with temperatures of up to 500°C, using novel approaches such as high-temperature heat pumps or H2/O2 steam generators. Taking into account scenarios of renewable energy availability and the availability of the corresponding energy transport infrastructure, the energy system should enable a competitive and secure supply of heating, cooling and electricity for locations in NRW. 
In the final phase of the project, a demonstration plant will be set up at a Chempark site operated by Currenta. 
The project is carried out together with the three project partners mentioned below. 
For the Chair EE, the focus of the project is on energy system analysis. 
 

Project partners: Siemens Energy AG, Currenta GmbH & Co. OHG, RUB Thermodynamik
