carbonauten chemistry
The chemical industry has secretly shaped modern life. The success of recent decades has been based on the fossil resources of crude oil and natural gas. The production of chemical raw materials generated around 1 billion tons of CO2 in 2023. When indirect emissions are included, the chemical industry is a significant emitter of greenhouse gases.
carbonauten chemistry will use the pyrolysis oils produced during the carbonization of woody biomass residues. They contain valuable ingredients for the chemical industry.
Chemistry parks are attractive locations for a carbonauten “minus CO2 factory”. They not only supply raw materials, but also base load-capable renewable energy such as process heat and electricity. The synthesis gas can also be used thermally or physically.
In the medium term, the company’s own biorefineries are to expand carbonauten’s value chain at central locations. For example, by producing its own CO2-negative biopolymers, which are combined with technical biocarbons to create ready-to-use carbonauten polymers compounds.
