Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), net-zero, ISO 14040, Carbon Footprint, non-financial reporting, net-zero emission, Taxonomy, Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) – what does that all mean for you and your company?
Sustainability is a key discussion in industry and policy. nova-Institute invites you to our nova-session on “LCA in science and policy”.
The Biomass Utilisation Factor (BUF): A simple indicator to calculate circularity of biomass and bio-based products
nova-Institute publishes a novel indicator that enables to capture the circularity of biomass under consideration of both the cascading use principle and the efficiency of the biomass utilisation
Avantium awarded €3 million EU grant to demonstrate the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to consumer products
Under the new WaterProof programme, Avantium will convert CO2, from wastewater purification and waste incineration into formic acid using its proprietary catalytic electrochemistry platform
Converting CO₂ through electrochemistry – The WaterProof Project
Starting soon, the new research project WaterProof aims at closing the waste(water) carbon loop by creating a novel biorefinery concept converting CO2 emissions from urban waste treatment facilities into valuable green consumer-products. The objective is a technology resulting in a GHG reduction based on CO2 utilization, replacement of fossil feedstock and industrial electrification
CO2-Umwandlung durch elektrochemische Prozesse – Das WaterProof-Projekt
Das im Juni startende Forschungsprojekt WaterProof zielt darauf ab, den Kohlenstoffkreislauf von Abfällen und Abwässern zu schließen, indem es ein neuartiges Bioraffineriekonzept entwickelt, das CO2-Emissionen städtischer Abfallverarbeitungsanlagen in wertvolle grüne Verbraucherprodukte umwandelt. Das Ziel besteht in einer Technologie, die maßgeblich zu einer Reduzierung von Treibhausgasen auf der Grundlage einer effektiven CO2-Nutzung, dem Ersatz fossiler Rohstoffe und industrieller Elektrifizierung beiträgt.
Many advanced and proven solutions to replace fossil carbon in chemistry and materials already available
Electrochemical transformation of CO₂, a natural polymer for paper and cardboard coating and material-to-material molecular recycling of plastic waste are the winners of the innovation award “Renewable Material of the Year 2022”
Viele fortschrittliche und bewährte Lösungen zur Substitution fossilen Kohlenstoffs in Chemie und Materialien bereits verfügbar
Elektrochemische Umwandlung von CO2, ein natürliches Polymer zur Beschichtung von Papier und Pappe, und molekulares Recycling von Kunststoffabfällen sind die Gewinner des Innovationspreises "Renewable Material of the Year 2022"
Converting wastewater into bio-based polymer, essential oils, phenolic extracts and clean water: The AFTERLIFE project presents its results.
AFTERLIFE demonstrates a new way of wastewater treatment that simultaneously recovers compounds of interest while converting remaining organic matter into a high-volume added value bio-based polymer.
Soap, proteins and highly complex molecules from CO2 – these are the winners of the “Best CO2 Utilisation 2022” innovation award
Large scale investments in CO2-based ethanol, methanol and aviation fuel are just around the corner – supporting climate protection and independence from fossil fuels. Participants of the “Conference on CO2-based Fuels & Chemicals 2022” elected the three innovation award winners. The award was organised by nova-Institute and CO2Value Europe, and sponsored by YNCORIS.
