GEA develops advanced Carbon Capture Solutions for industries such as cement, iron & steel, glass, chemicals, bioenergy and waste-to-energy. Our aim is to accelerate the transition a low-carbon industry in these sectors by providing full Carbon Capture Solutions that are modular in design, ensuring fast and economical implementation in existing plants.
GEA Carbon Capture Solutions: Full capture solutions and equipment for efficient CO2 capture
Our Carbon Capture equipment, covering Carbon Capture Storage and Utilization (CCS/CCU) plants, enables the efficient capture of CO2 from process-related emissions. This prevents its release into the atmosphere, utilizing or sequestrating the CO2 for the production of valuable products or long-term storage, thus contributing to industrial decarbonization and climate change mitigation technologies.
As a leader in the field of air pollution control solutions, we have unrivaled expertise in gas cleaning and heat recovery. We've extended this expertise with a comprehensive range of CO2 capture technologies, providing end-to-end Carbon Capture project support, including CO2 transportation and utilization options.
Our focus is on CO2 capture at the end of the process, favoring post-combustion methods due to their retrofit potential and minimal impact on upstream processes.
In line with industry best practices, we rely on aqueous amine solutions for CO2 capture and integrate them into our exceptional scrubber technologies within a highly standardized design. This approach ensures the rapid deployment of efficient capture solutions and helps you achieve your CO2 capture goals quickly and cost-effectively.
At GEA, we're not just selling equipment; we're partnering with companies to unlock the decarbonization potential across various carbon-intensive industries. Our commitment goes beyond providing products; it's about implementing viable, scalable Carbon Capture Solutions for a sustainable future. Find out how we can fully accompany you on your carbon capture journey and support you on your way to a more sustainable production.

GEA’s Carbon Capture Solutions: Advanced technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resource efficiency
At GEA, we aim to neutralizing unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions. As a technology leader, we focus on advancing and scaling Carbon Capture Solutions to drive significant efforts to capture carbon and remove CO2 from industrial processes.
Our “Add Better” initiative highlights sustainable solutions, enabling customers to choose advanced products that enhance both performance and resource efficiency. GEA’s full capture solutions, including Waste Heat Recovery, carry the “Add Better” label, helping industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions with GEA Carbon Capture technologies.
Resource efficient solution
GEA Carbon Capture incl. Waste Heat Recovery (WHR)
GEA's integrated Waste Heat Recovery and Carbon Capture solution enables a significant reduction of the overall energy consumption and by that also of CO2 emissions (e.g. in the cement industry). It reduces the CO2 emissions by 11 % compared to a stand-alone Carbon Capture solution without Waste Heat Recovery.
*The Add Better label relates to the combination of GEA´s Carbon Capture and Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) technologies, released in September 2023. The comparison refers to a stand-alone Carbon Capture solution without Waste Heat Recovery.
GEA´s Carbon Capturing Solutions involves the following process steps for an optimal and economic CO2 reduction:
- XECO Waste-Heat-Recovery Units
Use of excess heat from industrial processes and flue gases is the first step towards Carbon Capture & Utilization. The excess heat can be collected and transferred to the Carbon Capturing unit by means of our GEA XECO Waste-Heat-Recovery Systems.
- SETO Gas Pre-Treatment Units
An important pre-requisite for Carbon Capturing is Flue Gas Pre-treatment to ensure the long-term stability of the Carbon Capturing system. GEA SETO technology line offers various solutions for cooling and condensing, removing solids, aerosols, sulfuric and nitric oxides and more.
- CEBO Carbon Capturing Units
The current state-of-the-art process for large scale Carbon Capturing is by chemical absorption with amines. GEA offers amine-based CO2 capture plants of various sizes under the GEA CEBO line, allowing for CO2 capturing from very diverse exhaust gas compositions.
- NAVO CO2 Utilization & Sequestration
The captured CO2 must substitute fossil carbon to avoid anthropogenic GHG emissions. This can be achieved through the Utilization of CO2 for producing CO2 based products or by liquefying and Sequestrating CO2 in long-term storages, both with help of GEA Technologies.
