ANDRITZ is at the forefront of renewable energy conversion with holistic Power-to-X (P2X) solutions that transform renewable energy concepts into operational reality. By integrating advanced technologies (including proprietary carbon capture, green hydrogen electrolysis, renewable fuel synthesis), we enable the production of green hydrogen, e-methanol, and e-ammonia. 

Our approach spans the entire project life cycle – from early engineering consulting, concept design, and feasibility studies to detailed engineering and complete EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) solutions. We also provide long-term service agreements for operation and maintenance, ensuring optimized plant performance. 

Our commitment to innovation and sustainability positions us as a reliable partner in advancing the green energy ecosystem and accelerating the global energy transition. 

Green hydrogen is a key factor in shaping the future of the global energy sector and achieving climate goals. 

We aim to lead in this field by providing a full range of solutions for green hydrogen production. Our expertise covers everything from initial consulting and engineering to delivering complete turnkey plants on an EPC basis. We also offer comprehensive life cycle services, such as performance management and predictive maintenance, supported by advanced digital tools. 

At the core of our green hydrogen system are electrolyzers, which use renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. If the electricity comes from renewable sources (like wind, solar, or hydropower), the result is green hydrogen. 

Thanks to our new Electrolyzer Gigafactory in Erfurt, Germany, with an annual production capacity of 160 to 200 electrolyzers, ANDRITZ is ready to meet the European demand and rapidly scale the green hydrogen market. 

Our EPC expertise, autonomous plant technology, and advanced services are essential for the group to assume a leadership position in the industry.  
 

We offer solutions to capture carbon emissions from industrial processes, with a particular focus on the pulp and paper, waste-to-energy, biomass, cement, and steel industries. Our extensive portfolio ranges from feasibility or FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) studies to complete turnkey EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) deliveries, and ensures a seamless path from concept to implementation. In order to enable on-site testing, minimize risks, reduce costs, and gain valuable insights, ANDRITZ offers mobile test units that can be shipped, installed, and operated at industrial plants. 

Our technologies separate and capture CO₂ from flue gas and process it to reach the highest quality grade, for example, for food applications. It can also be compressed and liquefied for use as a carbon source for e-fuel production or safely stored underground for permanent removal from the atmosphere. 

Our solutions can be either installed in greenfield plants or retrofitted in existing plants. Forecasts suggest that global carbon capture, utilization, and storage uptake needs to expand 120 times by 2050. For countries to achieve their net-zero commitments, we need to increase the volume of captured CO₂ to at least 6 gigatons per annum. 

Driven by stricter regulations, higher carbon prices, various incentives for decarbonization, and the valuation of the biogenic fraction of captured CO₂ as negative CO₂ emissions, there is a growing demand for ANDRITZ carbon capture solutions.  

We specialize in advanced technology for the production of highly sustainable renewable fuels, with e-methanol at the forefront. As an alternative to fossil fuels, e-methanol significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and our reliance on conventional fossil fuels, especially in maritime transportation. 

ANDRITZ offers comprehensive solutions for the production of e-methanol from carbon dioxide and green hydrogen, delivering technology-focused, complete EPC solutions and early engineering consulting. Our technologies provide the lowest levelized cost of e-methanol at a high product output and a minimized environmental footprint. 

Biogenic CO₂ is an abundant, often unused feedstock. With our carbon capture technology and pulp mill expertise, we enable its cost-efficient use – a single pulp mill can supply 2 million metric tons (MTA) of biogenic CO₂ per annum, enough for 1.2 MTA of e-methanol.  

Biomethanol is a byproduct of the kraft pulping process. In conventional mills, it is typically treated as part of the recovery cycle. 

With ANDRITZ purification technology, this crude methanol can be recovered and upgraded to high-purity, trade-grade biomethanol using a patented mineral oil–based extraction process.

The biomethanol produced meets commercial specifications and can replace fossil-based methanol in transportation and chemical applications.  

Kraft lignin is a byproduct in the pulp production process. In today’s pulp mills, it is used to generate energy. However, it is also a renewable bio material and can be used as a renewable resource to replace fossil- based materials in the chemical industry or as the basis for new biofuels. 

Lignin recovery solutions are part of our CircleToZero initiative, which aims to maximize the use of side streams in pulp mills, laying the foundation for zero emissions and zero waste production. 

We are currently delivering the world's largest lignin production system to the Swedish forest industry group Södra for its Mösterås pulp mill in Sweden. The production plant is scheduled to start up in 2027.  

ANDRITZ is developing the battery manufacturing sector for e-mobility, focusing on the efficient production of lithium-ion and all-solid- state (ASSB) batteries. With the global electric car fleet growing, ANDRITZ responds by offering the most advanced manufacturing lines for battery cell assembly, finishing, and metal housings for batteries. 

Significant milestones in the past include our successful market entry with cell finishing equipment for gigafactories and securing key contracts, such as a pilot assembly line for large lithium-ion pouch cells for the Fraunhofer Research Institute for Battery Cell Production FFB.

In 2025, ANDRITZ supplied a high-performance 1.5-gigawatt formation line to a leading battery producer in Germany for charging and discharging cylindrical cells. The new line is made up of several hundred formation chambers, integrated power electronics, and an automated intralogistics system. 

In compliance with high-level safety standards, the advanced power electronics solution offers an energy efficiency of 85% from grid to cell and cell to grid respectively, and even 92% from cell to cell.  

Textile recycling is a vital step in tackling the global challenge of textile waste, offering environmental and economic benefits. Every year, over 90 million metric tons of textile waste are generated.

Addressing this issue, we offer comprehensive solutions, including automated textile sorting as well as mechanical and chemical recycling for efficient and gentle fiber treatment. 

ANDRITZ Laroche has been developing the mechanical recycling process for over a century. Thanks to this expertise and more than 2,000 reference projects worldwide, we enable our customers to process almost any type of pre- and post-consumer textile waste.
