Under this strategic partnership, BASF has been selected to share its proprietary OASE<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0blue technology, designed for the efficient removal of CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0from flue gases, for use in Forestal\u2019s pioneering Triskelion project in Galicia, Spain. The Triskelion project is set to be a game-changer, with a design capacity of 156 metric tons per day of e-methanol production. The CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0captured from the exhaust gases of electricity generating turbines will be transformed into e-methanol by reacting it with renewable hydrogen, highlighting an innovative approach to a more sustainable fuel production.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EDA facilitates the essential input from BASF for the Front End Engineering Design (FEED), which will be developed by a third-party contractor hired by Forestal. This process will enable Forestal to assess the project\u2019s clarity, vision, technical feasibility and economic viability, allowing them to share the design with other contractors for competitive construction bids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the OASE portfolio, BASF is an established leader in gas treatment technology which is used in over 500 reference plants worldwide, and is committed to providing support throughout the FEED preparation.
