Energy generation and distribution – sustainable technologies for a better future

Slewing bearings and rings from thyssenkrupp are essential construction and connecting elements for machines. They are used in wind turbines, cranes, excavators, telescopes, solar and tidal power plants. Our products are developed and designed exactly in accordance with our customers' requirements. Working closely together, we find solutions which are unique in terms of design, material properties, and performance.

Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world. The demand for green ammonia as a basic chemical will even double by the year 2050. This is because green ammonia is an ideal transport medium for hydrogen and is therefore central to the green transformation of industry and the success of the energy transition.
Ammonia can also be used in fuel cells to generate electricity. And since the only emissions are air and water, ammonia is an excellent storage medium for electrical energy.
As the world's population grows, so does the demand for food and thus for fertilizers and ammonia. Green ammonia is indispensable when it comes to producing enough food for a growing world population.

With its proven uhde^® ammonia process, thyssenkrupp Uhde is one of the leading technology suppliers in the field of ammonia. We are a reliable and competent partner for EPC projects and world market leader for ammonia plants with more than 2,500 chemical plants built worldwide and over 100 years of experience.

Green methanol serves primarily the chemical industry as a base material for a wide range of chemical products such as polymer fibers for the textile industry, plastics for packaging, adhesives, diapers, paints, solvents and much more. Methanol also serves as a fuel or fuel additive.

Thanks to the growth of affordable renewable energy, methanol can be produced based on wind or solar power, geothermal energy or hydropower - significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This "green methanol" is environmentally friendly and can be used as an energy carrier to store renewably generated electricity or as a transportation fuel. In addition to LNG and ammonia, green methanol can also be considered as a substitute fuel for maritime applications. In addition, it can be blended with conventional liquid fuels or used as a fuel for 100% methanol-based propulsion systems.

thyssenkrupp uses its own Uhde methanol technology for production. The hydrogen is produced using highly efficient alkaline water electrolysis (AWE), based on thyssenkrupp's proven chlor-alkali electrolysis technology. The carbon dioxide is recovered from biogas or other fermentation plants as well as from a wide variety of applications such as flue and exhaust gases from chemical and petrochemical complexes, cement plants or steel mills. By removing this greenhouse gas from the atmosphere and "recycling" it, the production process can make a further positive contribution to climate protection.

thyssenkrupp creates complete chemical plants, from engineering, procurement and construction through to technical and operating services. We offer equipment and technologies for fertilizers, base chemicals, electrolysis, polymers, gas technologies, oil & gas, as well as biotechnology and high-pressure applications. With our engineering expertise and decades-long experience, we work together with customers to develop reliable, efficient and sustainable solutions.

thyssenkrupp supplies world-leading cokemaking technologies. We design and build complete coke plants of various types for the production of coke from different grades of coal. Whether horizontal chamber kilns, heat recovery or byproduct systems – thanks to our know-how and innovative processes our coke plants meet the latest environmental standards and reliably produce high-quality coke for internal use or for sale.

Food preservation at 6,000 bar for natural, fresh products – no heat, additives, no loss of nutrients. Products are processed directly in their packaging, so later contamination is not possible. It works e.g. for vacuum packs, modified atmosphere packs (MAP), or for plastic bottles. The result: up to 10 times longer shelf life and extremely high product safety. Look, texture and taste of your products remain unaltered.
