Evonik Locations in Germany

Evonik in Marl Chemical Park

The Marl Chemical Park is one of the largest chemical sites in Germany.

Around 100 production facilities covering an area of approximately 600 hectares are closely linked in terms of materials and energy. Most of the facilities operate around the clock. 

State-of-the-art gas and steam turbine power plants produce the necessary energy and have reduced the chemical park's CO2 emissions by around one million tons per year compared to the days when energy was generated by coal-fired power plants.
