Following successful laboratory tests, operation of a new system for the separation of CO2 from exhaust gases has begun on the grounds of the Wien Energie Biomass Power Plant in Simmering. The CO2 can then be used for example as fertilizer in the agricultural industry or as raw material in the food industry. This is tested in a test greenhouse operated by LGV-Frischgemüse Wien.
