The core of our business is to develop cost-effective technologies that reduce CO2 emissions and transform harmful compounds into valuable products. We believe that our innovative technology will help reduce the impact of human activities on global climate change for the benefit of all stakeholders. Our commitment to making the world a greener place is contributing to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology is crucial for achieving the world’s climate goal of net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. In Europe the goal is to be climate neutral by 2050 and to reduce CO2 emissions by 55 percent by 2030. Along with further development of green energy sources, such as windmills and solar power, traditional sources of energy will still be in demand. Accordingly, a special focus on reducing CO2 emission from exhaust gas, as well as using and/or storing CO2 is required.
CCUS plays an important role in achieving these climate objectives, as the CCUS technologies contribute to reducing emissions that are difficult to reduce by other means. At ESTECH, we believe in the reutilization of CO2 to minimize the consumption of fossil fuels.
To achieve the world’s climate goal of zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and to reduce CO2 emissions, Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) technologies will play a key role. Of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, we believe our technology will have the largest impact on the following goals:
Carbon Capture & Storage technologies have significant potential to help achieve the UN’s sustainability goals. While the focus is on scaling up the technologies and reducing price, Power-to-X and green fuels are becoming viable solutions for reducing emissions.
The pyrolysis of sludge is an environmentally significant process that captures hazardous organic and chemical residues. However, it also generates substantial CO2 emissions. VandCenter Syd, a Danish water utility, exemplifies this by converting faecal sludge into biogas and transforming general sludge into agricultural fertilizer. When sludge undergoes pyrolysis, it is further refined into green manure. ESTECH’s technology addresses these challenges by offering a solution that purifies sludge, captures CO2, and simultaneously produces hydrogen, making it an ideal approach to tackle these specific issues.
According to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Denmark is obligated to store up to 40 mill. tons CO2 a year. This is possible under ground and requires enormous investments in infrastructure, piping, wells, pumps, and land-based facilities. But if we use CO2 in the production of new fuels, the need to store CO2 under ground will diminish. The mission is therefore to capture CO2 and store or reutilize it commercially.
