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
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)
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
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
CO2 as a raw material for plastics and other products
Carbon dioxide is one of the main drivers of climate change – which means that we need to reduce CO2 emissions in the future. Fraunhofer researchers are highlighting a possible way to lower these emissions: They use the greenhouse gas as a raw material, for instance to produce plastics. To do this, they first produce methanol and formic acid from CO2, which they convert via microorganisms into building blocks for polymers and the like
CO2 als Rohstoff für Kunststoffe und Co.
Kohlenstoffdioxid ist einer der Haupttreiber des Klimawandels – die CO2-Emissionen müssen daher künftig sinken. Einen möglichen Weg zur CO2-Reduktion zeigen Fraunhofer-Forschende auf: Sie nutzen das Klimagas als Rohstoff, etwa für Kunststoffe. Dazu stellen sie aus CO2 zunächst Methanol und Ameisensäure her, die sie via Mikroorganismen zu Bausteinen für Polymere und Co. umwandeln
Gemeinsam treiben Shell und Uniper den Hochlauf der Wasserstoffwirtschaft in Europa voran
Die Erkundung zukünftiger Möglichkeiten einschließlich der notwendigen Infrastruktur für den großvolumigen Transport von Wasserstoff und des gegenläufigen Transports von CO2 wird im Mittelpunkt der angekündigten Zusammenarbeit stehen
Finland’s largest Power-to-Gas plant – Wärtsilä and Vantaa Energy to continue planning towards an investment decision
In May 2020, the parties signed a co-operation agreement for a concept study examining the profitability of the Power-to-Gas plant in connection with the Vantaa Energy waste-to-energy plant
Baker Hughes Invests in Bio-methanation Technology Company Electrochaea to Expand Carbon Utilization Portfolio with Power-to-Gas Solution
Baker Hughes will draw from its portfolio of carbon capture technologies, including its Compact Carbon Capture design, to provide integrated solutions tailored to specific applications utilizing both CO2 sources with biogenic origin
