Roehm eyes carbon capture for German chemical plants
Chemicals company contracts Norway’s Aker Carbon Capture for feasibility study of project to deploy two capture facilities
Chemicals company Roehm is working on a project to potentially deploy two carbon capture facilities at its German production plants with a capacity of about 500,000t/yr of CO₂.
