Under the contract, Linde will construct a F2 production plant in Europe, which will see the complete elimination of the use of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), from Schüco TF’s manufacturing process.
Linde will help Schüco TF to reduce its emissions by 103,200 tons of CO2 equivalent per year.
The on-site F2 technology at Großröhrsdorf will improve solar module production and increase profitability by removing any risk of unabated emissions, reducing non-productive cleaning time and improving throughput.
Schüco TF’s general manager for photovoltaics Dr. Stiebig said that with the agreeement, the firm can reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of the module production facility, radically minimising the environmental impact during the manufacturing process of thin-film solar panels.
