Partnership with Heidelberg Materials for the GeZero carbon capture project 🌱
thyssenkrupp Polysius will design the clinker production line for the GeZero CCS project in Geseke, Germany, following the signing of a front-end engineering design contract. The GeZero project, supported by the EU Innovation Fund, will be one of the first European cement plants capable of producing net-zero cement and clinker on a carbon capture and storage (CCS) basis. When completed in 2029, the plant will have a potential capture capacity of 700,000 tons per year and will incorporate the polysius® pure oxyfuel technology. 💡
💬 Christian Myland, CEO of thyssenkrupp Polysius, states: "We are proud to be involved in this flagship project for one of the world's leading cement producers. It once again underlines the acceptance of the polysius® pure oxyfuel process developed by us as one of the most promising technologies for CO2 reduction in the construction industry".

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF): A Vision for Future Generations
As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, the aviation industry is at the forefront of this transformation. One of the most promising advancements in this sector is the development and implementation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). SAF represents a major shift towards reducing the carbon footprint of air travel, ensuring that flying remains a viable and responsible mode of transportation for future generations.
The Importance of Sustainable Aviation
Flying has been an integral part of modern society, connecting people, cultures, and economies across the globe. It has enabled unprecedented levels of global mobility and economic growth. However, the environmental impact of aviation, particularly its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, has become a significant concern. To address this, the aviation industry is turning to innovative technologies and alternative fuels like SAF to create a more sustainable future.
SAF is a type of aviation fuel derived from sustainable resources such as waste oils, agricultural residues, and even carbon captured from the atmosphere. Unlike traditional jet fuel, which is derived from fossil fuels, SAF can significantly reduce the carbon emissions associated with flying. Here are some key characteristics and benefits of SAF: Reduced Carbon Footprint, Renewable Sources utilization & Compatibility.
The production of SAF involves several cutting-edge technologies that ensure its sustainability and efficiency:
Feedstock Processing: Advanced biochemical and thermochemical processes convert raw materials into fuel. This includes technologies like hydroprocessing of esters and fatty acids (HEFA).
Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU): Innovative methods capture CO2 from industrial processes or directly from the air, converting it into sustainable fuel.
Hydrogen: it is the first building block to link renewable energy and green chemicals.
The adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel represents a transformative step towards a greener and more sustainable aviation industry. By investing in SAF technologies and supporting their development, we can ensure that flying continues to be a force for good in society, connecting the world while preserving it for future generations. The journey towards sustainable aviation is not just about reducing emissions; it's about redefining how we interact with our planet and securing a healthier, more sustainable future for all.

Compressor valves are often referred to as the heart of the compressor, crucial for regulating the flow of gases and ensuring efficient operation. The quality of these valves directly impacts the performance, reliability, and longevity of the compressor. High-quality valves ensure precise control over intake and discharge cycles, minimizing energy consumption and reducing the risk of leaks and pressure drops. Conversely, inferior valves can lead to inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and frequent maintenance issues. Therefore, maintenance at regular intervals with high-quality internals is essential for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring the longevity of the entire compressor system.

Exciting milestone for #TITAN and our pioneering carbon capture project #IFESTOS! We were honored to welcome thyssenkrupp Polysius to our Athens Headquarters to celebrate the signing of the Front-End Engineering Design (#FEED) #contract for IFESTOS. This partnership represents a significant step forward in the implementation of one of the largest carbon capture projects in Europe. Set to be deployed at our Kamari plant near Athens, Greece, the project aims to reduce CO2 emissions of the plant to #netzero and enable the annual production of more than 3 million tons of #zerocarbon#cement.
Under the agreement, thyssenkrupp Polysius will design and equip the two kiln lines of the Kamari plant with oxyfuel systems for CO2 capture. First -and second- generation oxyfuel and cryogenic capture technologies will combine to capture 98.5% of the plant’s CO₂ emissions.
