thyssenkrupp Uhde Installs EnviNOx® at Covestro Baytown for Emissions Reduction

Key highlights
  • EnviNOx® reduces 154,000 metric tons of CO2e annually at Baytown.
  • The system eliminates up to 99% of N2O and NOx emissions.
  • EnviNOx® has over 20 years of success with 60+ units worldwide.
  • Covestro aims for climate neutrality by 2035.

EnviNOx® Installation at Baytown

thyssenkrupp Uhde has implemented its EnviNOx® technology at Covestro's Baytown, Texas facility. This advanced emission control system is part of Covestro’s Nitric Acid Unit Climate Initiative (NAUCI), aiming to reduce approximately 154,000 metric tons of CO2e annually.

Emission Reduction Efficiency

The EnviNOx® system is capable of eliminating up to 99% of nitrous oxide (N2O) and other nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. It is designed for long-term operational efficiency and compliance with stringent environmental regulations.

Proven Technology

With over 20 years of operational success and more than 60 units installed globally, EnviNOx® has already eliminated over 260 million tons of CO2-equivalent emissions. The system is versatile, effective, and can be integrated into various chemical processes.

Commitment to Climate Goals

Covestro is committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2035. The Baytown installation, along with other successful implementations like the one in Shanghai, underscores the company's dedication to sustainable industrial transformation.
