| Abstract |
Lignite and carbonaceous waste are valuable primary and secondary carbon carriers. The projected increased reduction in lignite for electricity production in Germany, the need to increase carbonaceous waste recycling as well as the anticipated availability of renewable electricity from Germany's energy transition all point to a high potential for closing the carbon cycle (C-3) for the nation's carbon intensive industries. In this article, we present a concept for achieving net zero emissions, resource efficiency and conservation by coupling the energy, chemical and recycling sectors to support a circular carbon economy. To illustrate our concept, results from process model evaluations of domestic carbon feedstock (i.e. plastic waste and lignite) for olefins production in Germany are presented. |
