ANDRITZ to design carbon capture plant for Westenergy
The order was received from ECCU Ltd, a joint venture of Westenergy Ltd, CPC Finland Oy and funds managed by Prime Capital AG. The aim is to capture all the carbon dioxide from the flue gases of the Mustasaari waste-to-energy plant, which produces district heating and electricity from sorted, non-recyclable municipal waste. The captured carbon […]
Dormant Reserve in Lithium-Ion Batteries Detected
Lithium iron phosphate is one of the most important materials for batteries used in electric vehicles, stationary energy storage systems, and tools. It is durable, relatively inexpensive, and does not pose a risk of self-ignition. Its energy density is also making steady progress. However, the scientific community still puzzles over why lithium iron phosphate batteries […]
Start-up shows new solution for recycling e-car batteries
Electric cars are a building block in the transition to sustainable mobility. But what happens if such an electric car is damaged or reaches the end of its life? Components such as the bodywork, seats, dashboards and the like can still be easily recycled. The batteries, on the other hand, are real power packs […]
Styria becomes part of the first European hydrogen valley for industrial applications
The projects within the Hydrogen Valley cover the entire value chain – from the production and transportation to the storage and use of green hydrogen. New plants are planned to produce more than 10,000 tons of hydrogen per year in the three federal states. The Hydrogen Valley will thus make a significant contribution to the […]
Siemens Energy triples production area for wind power transformers
Transformers that can convert electrical voltage into a higher or lower voltage have been manufactured in Weiz for more than 130 years. The production of these transformers can only be automated to a very limited extent and requires specialized personnel. The plant is a leader in transformers for use in wind turbines on the high […]
88,000 tons of waste, a Terminator and expertise from Green Tech Valley
In 2022, before the Styrian waste specialist Komptech gets involved, people in Caotun imagine themselves in a different world. Because too much groundwater is being used, the soil in the community of 100,000 inhabitants in Nantou County in Taiwan is sinking. The construction of the 600 million euro artificial lake “Niaozueitan” is intended to provide […]
