Illinois researchers convert food waste into jet fuel, boosting circular economy
The researchers convert food waste into biocrude oil through a thermochemical conversion process called hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) to get the biocrude oil, and they identified cobalt molybdenum as the most effective commercially available catalyst
Forscher aus Illinois wandeln Lebensmittelabfälle in Flugzeugtreibstoff um und fördern so die Kreislaufwirtschaft
Durch einen thermochemischen Umwandlungsprozess, die so genannte hydrothermale Verflüssigung (HTL), werden die Lebensmittelabfälle in Bio-Brutöl umgewandelt und Kobalt-Molybdän als effektivster Katalysator entdeckt
Turning CO₂ Waste into a Resource: The ICO2NIC Project
The European Union (EU) awarded €14 million to a new EU-funded project, ICO2NIC (Innovative electrochemical CO2 Conversion to Versatile Feedstock), which aims to transform industrial CO2 waste into valuable materials through innovative climate technologies. Launched in January 2025, the project represents a key step in the EU’s goals for a more sustainable industrial future
Moeve & Zaffra sign Memorandum of Understanding to develop e-SAF Facilities in Spain
