We develop solutions for renewable energy, including biomass, solar and wind power, to enable a reliable energy transition. Our carbon capture research uses novel methods such as oxyfuel combustion, chemical looping and amine scrubbing to reduce emissions and reuse carbon dioxide. Advanced energy storage systems such as Power-to-X and thermal energy storage improve flexibility and grid stability. We also innovate pulp and paper mills as well as power plant technologies to improve efficiency. We support the effective use of solid fuels such as waste materials for electricity and heat generation as well as the synthesis of chemicals and fuels. We also use artificial intelligence to create efficient, sustainable energy systems.
