Covestro plans to reduce its energy consumption in Germany with the investment of a new steam compressor at its Dormagen site. The compressor is the company’s largest energy efficiency project to date and will save a low three-digit GWh volume of energy and more than 40,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
“Energy efficiency is a key lever for transforming our production towards climate neutrality and a circular economy. The principle is: the less energy we need, the better,” said Thorsten Dreier, CTO of Covestro. “That’s why we’re using every opportunity to make our production even more energy-efficient with modern, innovative process technologies.”
This project is part of Covestro’s effort toward climate-neutral production.
