MGC and Tokuyama Corporation Begin Joint Study on Social Deployment of Circular Carbon Methanol Utilizing CO2, First of its Kind in Japan
Methanol is a base material for various chemical products, and as it can be produced from CO2, a greenhouse gas, it is expected to be a powerful resource for building a carbon neutral society
BASF introduces PuriCycle® portfolio of catalysts and adsorbents to enable plastics recycling
PuriCycle purifies pyrolysis oils, a secondary raw material obtained from the chemical recycling of plastic waste that is fed into the production process for new plastics at the beginning of the value chain
‘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
