Several development projects are currently underway, including fine-tuning of modernized flue gas cleaning and a comprehensive feasibility study for the construction of a carbon capture facility, which you will have the chance to be a part of.

Furthermore, you are responsible, solution-oriented, and have an interest in new technology. You are interested in working with development issues and are happy to contribute your ideas in the work with continuous improvements in line with our Lean-based approach.
