MAN power-to-chemicals (MAN PtC)

Instead of producing gas or liquids, the hydrogen can be combined with carbon dioxide, nitrogen or other compounds to make chemicals such as ammonia, ethylene or propylene. These chemicals provide a CO2-neutral base in industrial processes. MAN Energy Solutions 86224 Augsburg, Germany P + 49 821 322-0 F + 49 821 322-3382 [email protected] www.man-es.com
