Innovative solutions

We provide a wide range of innovative, economically viable solutions that support the green transition and help customers achieve their sustainability goals. Our solutions enable customers to protect the environment, drive decarbonization, reduce the consumption of precious resources such as water, and advance the circular economy through the reuse of industrial side streams. 

Our commitment and performance 

Innovative solutions is one of the key focus areas in ANDRITZ’s Sustainability Program 2030. We aim to deliver innovative, low-carbon and resource-efficient solutions that help our customers succeed sustainably.

Fueling progress with sustainable and innovative solutions

CO₂ abatement and renewables 

Our solutions and technologies enable reducing carbon emissions from industry and transport to mitigate climate change.  

Carbon capture is one of today’s most transformative technologies and we are taking it a step further. Beyond capturing CO2, we deliver integrated solutions for green hydrogen, e-methanol, and e-ammonia, enabling the transition from fossil-based energy and feedstocks to low-carbon alternatives. These solutions (or molecules) enable the production of e-fuels, fertilizers, and other high-value chemicals.

We deliver advanced solutions for e-mobility, including the production of electric vehicles, batteries, and bipolar plates for fuel cells. Our commitment to renewable energy spans a wide range of technologies – from hydropower and pumped-storage plants to biomass pelleting and gasification, as well as power and recovery boilers.

Circular economy

Our technologies maximize resource reuse and circulation for a sustainable economy. 

The linear “take, make, waste” model is outdated. At ANDRITZ, we want to ensure that resources stay in the loop and serve future generations. Our solutions help our customers to act according to this thinking too. 

In pulp and paper production, our CircleToZero™ initiative uses innovative processes to recover valuable materials from side streams – including lignin, sulfuric acid, and biomethanol – with the ultimate goal of zero emissions and zero waste. Beyond this, our solutions enable textile recycling and convert organic, chemical, and other waste into reusable raw materials, turning what was once discarded into new value.

Recycling

Innovative recycling technologies for material separation and recovery, treatment of various types of waste and rejects, and the production of renewable energy.

Textile Recycling

Textile recycling is a vital frontier for a more sustainable world. Clothing alone accounts for around 10 percent of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, and much of the pre- and post-consumer waste generated by the textile industry ends up incinerated or in landfill.

Environmental technologies

Air and water are among our most precious resources. That’s why ANDRITZ develops advanced technologies to keep these vital resources clean and safe.  

For air, our solutions help create healthier environments by reducing emissions and pollutants. From dedusting and flue gas cleaning systems to desulphurization, denitrification, and mercury control, we support industries in meeting environmental standards and improving air quality. 

For water, we provide comprehensive preparation and recovery technologies  – from wastewater management and desalination to the treatment of tailings. In addition, we provide solutions for drinking water supply, irrigation as well as flood control and drainage, helping communities and industries safeguard water resources.
