Carbon Management

To achieve national and international climate neutrality targets, reducing CO₂ emissions by transitioning away from fossil resources and advancing the energy transition is indispensable.

However, these efforts alone will not suffice, as certain industries, such as cement production, inherently generate unavoidable CO₂ emissions during their processes. In these cases, innovative solutions like CO₂ capture with subsequent utilization (CCU), storage (CCS), or direct extraction of CO₂ from the air (CDR and DAC) offer promising new perspectives.

Carbon management addresses this challenge on a broader scale and also encompasses the development of infrastructure for CO₂ transport. While still in its early stages in many areas, carbon management presents not only challenges but also significant opportunities. It has the potential not only to reduce CO₂ emissions but also to achieve negative emissions. From an economic standpoint, carbon management will spur the creation of new markets and jobs. Stakeholders who proactively address this issue and invest in its early ramp-up can secure competitive advantages and pioneer new business models.

We support you on your individual path with tailor-made solutions. You can read about FfE’s detailed approach here.

Success in the field of carbon management requires more than just market-ready technologies; it also demands insight into future developments and the interests of key stakeholders. Our expertise in this area has been honed through various projects, including a study commissioned by the vbw to analyze CO₂ infrastructure requirements.
