A6000CC Key take-home messages 9

• Demand for a low-carbon energy carrier, fostered by incentives and carbon

taxation, can be achieved today with a smart proprietary process by Casale:
A6000CC
• A6000CC achieves high carbon capture without the costly dedicated flue gas
capture unit.
• Casale’s A6000CC ammonia process has low energy consumption vs the
state-of-the-art solutions while achieving the CO2 capture well above 90%.
