Our drive for a fulfilling future
En route to climate neutrality – with renewable solutions and sustainable energy products
In deploying our innovations and our technologies, it is our intention to make a decisive contribution to a sustainable future. Consequently, we develop and produce function-critical components for the sustainable generation, transmission, storage and distribution of energy.
We have made it our mission to cater to our customers as they move away from traditional fossil-fuel industries and into a new and sustainable future: Carbon capture, utilization & storage (CCUS), hydrogen and industry-scale heat pumps with turbo-compressors will have crucial roles to play for the global community – these technologies are critical for the achievement of net-zero/CO₂ reduction targets. With our high-speed turbo gear units from the oil and gas industries and the power generation sector we can make a valuable contribution – because precisely these technologies are needed for the generation, transport and storage of energy from new sources and for decarbonization.
Versatile solutions for industry redefining itself
The successful move toward climate neutrality is a global challenge - it affects each and every one of us. So at RENK we are engaging with solutions for enhanced energy efficiency: Our gear units can be optimized for any given industrial process, thereby contributing to significant reductions in energy consumption and, consequently, to reduced emissions. At the same time, our gear units also support new future-oriented technologies in the fields of carbon capture & storage, hydrogen and heat pumps. As one of the leading manufacturers worldwide, we are in a position to develop and build gear units of exceptionally high precision.
Our solutions and key technologies will be our contribution to the energy transition. Consequently, we are investing heavily in research and development so we'll be ready and able to supply what will be needed.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen as an energy source can be used and transported in many different ways: So as the world progresses toward climate neutrality in industry, hydrogen will have a vital role to play. Nowadays for example, we generate renewable power wherever the wind blows and the sun shines. To use this product of renewable sources efficiently and have it available in sufficient quantities, energy has to be rendered storable – hydrogen has been tapped as the storage medium of the future.
With our gear units, we at RENK can support the compression, transport and storage of hydrogen in the best possible way: Hydrogen is naturally low in density, so it has to be highly compressed for transport – ultra-high-speed gear units are vital for compression. Only a handful of companies in the world have the capability to manufacture them to the requisite high-spec precision – we at RENK are among the select few.
Carbon capture, utilization & storage (CCUS)
The storage of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in geological formations is set to become an enabler in climate protection. The objective of underground storage of carbon dioxide is the reduction of CO₂ emissions to Earth's atmosphere.
This will require mature technologies that will be reliant on gear units of outstanding quality. Capture, transport and storage will all require superbly engineered high-speed gear units. With our high-revving turbo gear units and compressors we ensure smooth process flows – so together with our customers we are systemically relevant and central to the energy transition.
Heat pumps
The deployment of heat pumps is an enabling option for industry to progress decarbonization and also to engineer sustainability into the heating of homes and office buildings. Heat pumps use electricity to boost the temperature of a waste-heat source to the level required for a given process.
Industrial heat pumps can be deployed to utilize excess process heat – by providing our customers with gear units tailored to their applications we make a key contribution to the success of sustainable processes.
