Oxyfuel: Climate-neutral cement production is getting closer

Oxyfuel: Climate-neutral cement production is getting closer

#greenminded is when you capture and process greenhouse gases where they arise. This sustainable idea is particularly important in cement production: seven percent of global CO2 emissions are caused by this steadily growing industry alone. The good news is that thyssenkrupp’s Oxyfuel allows the harmful greenhouse gas CO2 to be separated in concentrated form and made usable.

EnviNOx®: When agriculture becomes even greener

#greenminded is when you tackle little-known environmental pollutants. Everyone knows the climate killer CO2, but few know that the greenhouse gas N2O – also known by the harmless-sounding name “laughing gas” – is actually much more harmful to our environment. N2O is actually about 300 times more climate-damaging than carbon dioxide. The EnviNOx® process dissolves the climate killer into air.
TechCenter Additive Manufacturing: New opportunities for industry

TechCenter Additive Manufacturing: New opportunities for industry

The market for private and semi-professional 3D printers is booming. Now, new revolutionary processes are also conquering industrial production under the term “Additive Manufacturing”. But what is essential when printing highly sensitive components for industrial machines – instead of action figures? We asked someone who knows: Andreas Stapelmann, Head of the thyssenkrupp TechCenter Additive Manufacturing in Mülheim, Germany.
