‘Intolerable risk’ – Methanol winning the hydrogen shipping race as new studies highlight dangers of ammonia at sea
Ammonia derived from green hydrogen has been touted as the most likely clean shipping fuel of the future, but shipbuilding orders show that another H2 derivative, methanol, is currently preferred
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”.
Neste invests in its world scale renewable products refinery in Rotterdam
Neste Corporation has made the final investment decision to invest into new renewable products production capacity in Rotterdam. The decision is based on demand for renewable products growing substantially with customers' higher climate ambitions
Circular plastics for green growth markets
To make circular solutions in the product portfolio even more recognizable to customers in the future, Covestro has developed the brand "CQ" concept which stands for "Circular Intelligence" and indicates the alternative raw material base for the company's products if it is at least 25 percent
New PET-like plastic made directly from waste biomass
EPFL scientists have developed a new, PET-like plastic that is easily made from the non-edible parts of plants. The plastic is tough, heat-resistant, and a good barrier to gases like oxygen, making it a promising candidate for food packaging. Due to its structure, the new plastic can also be chemically recycled and degrade back to harmless sugars in the environment
Siemens Energy and Air Liquide form a joint venture for the European production of large scale renewable hydrogen electrolyzers
This Franco-German partnership will enable the emergence of a sustainable hydrogen economy in Europe and foster a European ecosystem for electrolysis and hydrogen technology
Tata Chemicals Europe (“TCE”) today officially opened the UK’s first industrial scale carbon capture and usage plant, signalling a key milestone in the race to meet the UK’s net zero targets
The project will help unlock the future of carbon capture in the UK as it demonstrates the viability of the technology to remove carbon dioxide from power plant emissions and to use it in high end applications
Environmental and economic assessment of CO2-based value chains for a circular carbon use in consumer products
In a new study economic and environmental effects of the use of CO2 as carbon source for polymer products such as packaging, construction material or medical products are analyzed
Chemical recycling of plastic: Neste acquires European rights to Alterra Energy’s thermochemical liquefaction technology
The corporation plans together with Ravago to deploy the Alterra Energy technology in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, and to scale up processing capacities for liquefied waste plastic at its Porvoo refinery in Finland
VTT and Neste agreed on building an integrated Power-to-Liquids (e-fuels) demonstration facility at VTT Bioruukki Pilot Centre for CO2 capture, green hydrogen and e-fuels production
Development of high temperature electrolysis, CO2 capture, and hydrocarbon synthesis technologies have been completed in Business Finland funded Veturi E-fuel research project and the integrated technology is now ready for implementation
Can advanced recycling support flexible packaging’s quest for circularity?
Sreeparna Das spoke to Bob Powell, CEO of Brightmark, to understand the role advanced recycling – also known as chemical recycling – can play in supporting the demands of the flexible packaging sector, the key growth areas, and the existing challenges to scaling up advanced recycling
