About Chemiepark Knapsack

The Chemiepark Knapsack near Cologne in Germany offers companies a scale-up platform and access to know-how for chemical production and integration into existing value chains. The innovative capacity of the Chemiepark Knapsack, solid infrastructure, plug&play services, as well as less bureaucracy and red tape all offer huge benefits for your company to commercialize your product.

FROM LINEAR TO​ CIRCULAR ECONOMY

The circular economy is of crucial importance for climate protection and the future of the Chemical Park Knapsack. That is why we are integrating innovative recycling technologies with an advanced sorting plant in our expansion area Hürth-Süd. This new plant section creates space for future-oriented companies, complements the existing site portfolio and makes Knapsack fit for the next generation of sustainable chemistry.

FORWARD-LOOKING PERSPECTIVES

  • Circular economy as a well-established principle: utilise resources multiple times, avoid waste​
  • Urban mining: efficient recovery of valuable raw materials from existing materials and facilities​
  • New settlements with foresight: focus on circular solutions and industrial partnerships with synergy potential​
  • Innovative strength meets industrial expertise: direct proximity to the AI Village, universities and research institutions​
  • Flexible framework conditions for start-ups with sustainable ideas
  • Prospective Supply with H2 and CO2 infrastructure

YNCORIS is the owner and operator of the Chemiepark Knapsack and places particular emphasis on the engineering of individual plants - from process development and conceptual design to basic and detailed engineering, regardless of whether we just carry out sub-services or take over the general planning for every stage. YNCORIS does not supply one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we adopt a flexible approach and gear ourselves towards the specific requirements of the current project stage - step-by-step. Thanks to a broad range of diverse engineering fields and an extensive selection of methods, we can guarantee the very highest degree of flexibility with regard to content.
