Industrial Decarbonization: LANXESS Pioneers Hydrogen-Fired Spray Dryer at Krefeld-Uerdingen
Most core facts about LANXESS converting the Krefeld-Uerdingen iron oxide pigment spray dryer to hydrogen, using co-product hydrogen from Covestro via pipeline, and saving about 6,000 t CO₂/year are well supported by LANXESS’s press release and independent coverage. Regulatory classification as a störfallrelevante Änderung without new §16a permit is also documented in official NRW notices. Some cost figures, comparative market statements, and broad claims about Germany’s hydrogen strategy and parallel projects are not directly sourced and are thus inconclusive rather than false.
