Borealis commits to further reducing pollution with AdBlue
Zurück
Wien/AT (Borealis) – Borealis invests five million in their cutting-edge urea solution that reduces pollution by converting nitrogen oxides into atmospheric nitrogen and water. This development enables trucks of the newest generation with Euro IV and Euro V exhaust gas limits to easily meet the demand for lower emissions.
The key to this innovative process is an extremely pure urea solution called AdBlue, and the technology involved is called selective catalytic reduction (SCR). A secondary effect derived from the use of AdBlue is a drop in diesel consumption of up to 7%, which in turn leads to a marked reduction in CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the fuel is subject to more efficient combustion and a cut in the emissions of soot particles.
AMI put the first AdBlue production plant into operation in 2004 at the Linz Chemicals Park. Since then, there has been a steady and sustained increase in demand, and therefore Borealis is committed to this investment in order to secure market supply. This expansion will facilitate annual production capacity of over 100 million litres.
It is forecast that by 2012, the demand for AdBlue in Europe will rise to 3.5 million tonnes.
