Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Techniques

Customer

Multinational industrial machinery and equipment supplier

Background

The client company operates as a supplier of machinery and equipment for industrial sectors with high energy consumption, including steel, chemicals, ceramics, paper, glass, cement and foundries. These sectors, known as “Hard to Abate” (HtA), present significant challenges in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO2).

The client’s need was to conduct a in-depth analysis of the most advanced technologies for reducing CO2 emissions and identify leading companies in this sector. In particular, the company wanted to evaluate the potential of industrial applications of hydrogen (H2) and its blends as fuel. To achieve these goals, the client turned to CRIT, requesting a detailed analysis of current CO2 emission reduction techniques in HtA sectors.

Activity

The activity started with an initial meeting to define the client’s needs, establish the technological framework and identify areas of interest for the research.

Drawing on its past experience and using both generic and specialized web sources, CRIT outlined an overview of strategies for reducing CO2 emissions in HtA industrial sectors, with a focus on decarbonization policies in the United States, Europe and Italy.

Based on client feedback, the presentation was further refined, with a specific focus on industrial applications of hydrogen (H2) and its blends as fuel, adding case studies and identifying key players.

Then, the comprehensive work was presented through a PowerPoint.

Result

The final result of the scouting was a highly customized report, comprising a general introduction, a detailed technological analysis of industrial applications of hydrogen and its blends as fuel and a section dedicated to case studies and key players.

Thanks to this scouting activity, the client gained a comprehensive understanding of CO2 emission reduction techniques. This allowed them to assess the applicability of these techniques in their specific production context for potential research and development initiatives.
