Vienna Green CO2
Capture
Power & Capture
The goal of the Vienna Green CO2 project
was the developing a new low-cost, energyefficient CO2 separation/capture technology.
In this context, a pilot plant was developed
to demonstrate the CO2 separation / capture
process from the exhaust gases of a biomass
power plant in Vienna, Austria. Part of the
carbon dioxide captured from the biomass
CHP plant was used as fertilizer in an adjacent
greenhouse. The one-year pilot project ended
in 2019 and the next steps of the project are
not clear yet.

Blue H2
Hydrogen to Humber Saltend (H2H) project
aims to the construction of a 600 MW blue
hydrogen production plant at the Saltend
Chemicals Park (a cluster of world-class
chemicals industries). The produced hydrogen
will replace the natural gas which is used by
the Park’s power plant. The produced CO2 will
be captured and transported to the Endurance
Aquifer in the Southern North Sea.
