New research centre to help solve the climate crisis
A new, unique research centre has been launched. The Novo Nordisk Foundation CO2 Research Center is to be established with a grant of DKK 630 million from the Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF) and based at Aarhus University. The new centre will ensure cross-disciplinary collaboration to reduce the amount of the greenhouse gas, CO2, in the atmosphere through researching and implementing new technology. The centre will be collaborating with a number of Danish and international partners
Econic and Manali Petrochemicals announce partnership to scale process technology
Manali Petrochemicals (MPL) and Econic Technologies have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the aim to introduce more environmentally friendly, CO2 containing polyols, into the $28Bn global polyols market
Forscher enthüllen Mehrweg-Mechanismus bei elektrochemischer CO2-Reduktion
Das Reaktionsphasendiagramm wurde auf der Grundlage des Ansatzes der "globalen Energieoptimierung" erstellt und beschreibt den Aktivitätstrend für die CO2RR zu Formiat. Aufgrund der Berücksichtigung von Mehrwegeeffekten wurde ein Aktivitätsverlauf mit zwei Spitzenwerten ermittelt
The winners of the last innovation award “Best CO2 Utilisation” transformed CO2 into methanol, cleaning agents, plastic packaging or surfactants. What technology or product in the field of CCU have you developed?
nova-Institute and YNCORIS together with CO2 Value Europe are looking forward to your application for the innovation award “Best CO2 Utilisation 2022”. The award will be granted at the well-established “Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals”, 23–24 March 2022 in Cologne (hybrid event)
The answer to your hunt for renewable materials: The Renewable Materials Conference, 10–12 May 2022, Cologne, Germany (hybrid)
The unique concept of presenting all renewable material solutions at one event hits the mark: bio-based, CO2-based and recycled are the only alternatives to fossil-based chemicals and materials
Tata Steel commissions India’s first plant for CO2 capture from Blast Furnace gas at Jamshedpur
The 5 tonnes per day (TPD) carbon capture plant along with its semi commercial use within the steel value chain, makes the Tata Steel Jamshedpur plant unique and first-of-its-kind in the world within the steel industry
Carbon removals must not become an expensive greenwashing tool
Supporters of carbon removal technologies often confuse carbon capture and storage (CCS) with negative emissions. They also risk greenwashing industry claims of climate neutrality, and encourage massive investments in false climate ‘solutions’ that risk becoming stranded assets
Carbon removal strategy – Is it needed and will it make a difference?
In April 2021, the European Parliament and the European Council reached a provisional agreement on the first-ever EU Climate Law. But negotiations on whether carbon removals should be counted towards the 2030 target were difficult
Climate benefits vs. burdens: Which products are best suited for emerging carbon capture technologies?
Pulling heat-trapping carbon dioxide out of the air and turning it into useful products, a concept called carbon capture and utilization, has the potential to offer both environmental and economic benefits
Breakthrough Methods Help Integrate Renewable Hydrogen With Waste Carbon Dioxide To Produce Clean Fuels, Chemicals, and More
Wind, solar, and battery storage appear to be a winning combination for clean electricity systems, but to make the leap to a sustainable energy system, another ingredient is necessary: low-carbon fuels
One if by sea, two if by sky: the search for affordable CO2 capture technology
Here’s the math. According to a chart from the US Department of Energy, we need to bring 10 billion gigatons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. That’s enough, by volume, to fill 5 million Empire State Buildings, or 2 million Great Pyramids
