Sustainable coffee grown in Finland – the land that drinks the most coffee per capita produces its first tasty cup with cellular agriculture
VTT is developing coffee production through plant cells in its laboratory in Finland. In the process, cell cultures floating in bioreactors filled with nutrient medium are used to produce various animal- and plant-based products
Five sustainable solutions – Here are the finalists for the Finnish Engineering Award 2021
CO2-based proteins and smart hydrogen technologies are among the finalist for the awards, worth 30 000 euros, which is given to a person or work group for their tremendous contribution to engineering or architecture
Tougher and lighter dental implant crowns can be made of cellulose-based nanocomposites
A research group at VTT’s succeeded in designing and producing a mineralized biocomposite exhibiting high strength, stiffness, and fracture toughness that resembles the architectural design of the dactyl club of the mantis shrimp
The Finnish textile industry will be the most responsible and functional in the world in 2035 – investment opportunities of more than billion euros
In collaboration with other textile industry operators, VTT and Finnish Textile & Fashion have prepared a roadmap for the Finnish textile and fashion industry extending up to 2035
BIOSWITCH research analyses Irish and Dutch consumer perspectives of bio-based products
The results show that Irish consumers have a slightly more positive perception of bio-based products than their Dutch counterpart, with 93% of the respondents from Ireland and 81% of the ones from the Netherlands indicating that they prefer to buy bio-based products instead of fossil-based ones
“Best CO2 Utilisation 2021″: The three winners of the innovation award are turning CO2 into methanol, cleaners, plastic packaging or surfactants
CO2 has become famous in a sad way. Carbon Recycling International from Iceland, LanzaTech from USA and Covestro from Germany transform it into usable raw materials.
Bio-based polymers workshop on 29 March 2021: These 7 innovations bring us closer to a carbon-neutral economy
Atmospheric CO2 will keep on climbing higher and higher if we don’t stop using fossil resources. How to make the switch to renewable carbon instead? The free online workshop on 29 March will present seven options.
How to utilise CO2? The nominees for the innovation award “Best CO2 Utilisation 2021” have the answers!
Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is one of the most obvious solutions to further reduce CO2 emissions, but it is yet still hardly exploited. However, these six nominated technologies turn CO2 into value: ethanol, methanol, polyols, surfactants or syngas – the audience will choose the winner at the “9th Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals”, 23–24 March 2021, online!
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as Chemical Feedstock for Polymers – already nearly 1 million tonnes production capacity installed!
Completely revised and extended third version of nova’s technology and trend report “Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as Chemical Feedstock for Polymers – Technologies, Polymers, Developers and Producers” available
Cellulose fibres are virtually miracle materials – Almost endless possibilities and high market growth due to great demand!
2nd International Conference on Cellulose Fibres, 2-3 February (online event) – Cellulose fibres have a wide range of applications that are increasingly expanding. The markets are driven by technological developments and political framework conditions, especially bans and restrictions on plastics and increasing sustainability requirements.
