License Agreement for OASE Technology
BASF and ANDRITZ have signed a license agreement for the use of BASF's OASE blue gas treatment technology. This technology will be implemented in a carbon capture project in Aarhus, Denmark, aiming to capture 435,000 tons of CO2 annually from a waste-to-energy plant's flue gases.
Project Goals and Conditions
The project supports Aarhus's goal to become CO2-neutral by 2030. The implementation is contingent upon receiving funding from the Danish CCS fund. ANDRITZ, the selected supplier, is currently conducting pre-engineering for the carbon capture plant.
Technology and Expertise
ANDRITZ chose OASE blue due to BASF's extensive track record and chemical expertise, crucial for addressing emission limits and complex flue gas compositions. The technology is designed to lower energy consumption, reduce solvent losses, and handle impurities in treated gas and CO2 products.
OASE Technology Applications
BASF's OASE portfolio is used in over 500 reference plants worldwide, offering solutions for natural gas, synthesis gas, flue gas, and biogas treatment. OASE blue is particularly suitable for handling impurities in flue gases from various industrial sources, including waste incineration plants.
