Holcim’s Eco2fly carbon capture project takes key e-SAF step
Holcim’s Eco2fly carbon capture project at its Villaluenga de la Sagra cement plant in Toledo, Spain, has taken a further step forward with a new agreement supporting the production of synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF). Developed by Holcim, Eco2fly Power and Exolum, the project is expected to capture around 700,000tpa of CO2 from the cement

WaterProof Workshop: From Waste(water) CO₂ to Formic Acid
On 22 October 2026, the EU-funded WaterProof project will host its final workshop at Science Park Amsterdam, bringing together young researchers, students, PhD candidates and young professionals interested in Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and CO₂ valorisation. The workshop is designed particularly for early-career researchers and students who would like to deepen their knowledge of

Defossilisation Made Visible: Why OK Renewable Is Becoming the Reference Label for Renewable Carbon Products
The transition to a climate-neutral and circular economy requires the replacement of virgin fossil carbon with renewable carbon derived from biomass, captured carbon, and recycling streams. As regulatory expectations increase, companies must not only improve product sustainability but also communicate their achievements transparently and credibly. The OK renewable certification scheme, independently verified by TÜV AUSTRIA,

From Pollution to Performance: On Scales the First EVA Midsole Made Using Captured Carbon Emissions to Over a Million
Today, the Swiss premium sportswear brand On launches the Cloud X 5, one of the brand’s most popular footwear styles with a midsole featuring CleanCloud™. A breakthrough technology with more than 80% lower modeled carbon impact than conventional fossil-based EVA under the LCA’s credit approach. This marks the first time a sportswear brand has successfully

Olive Waste Biochar Boosts CO2 Conversion to Methane
Every year, the olive oil industry leaves behind mountains of stones and pomace—hard, carbon-rich residues that are usually burned as low-grade fuel or discarded entirely. A new study suggests that this humble agricultural waste could play a surprisingly sophisticated role in the fight against climate change: as the backbone of catalysts that transform carbon dioxide

Methanol Qualified as a Feedstock for Sustainable Aviation Fuel
The more than 23,000 large aircraft worldwide consume approximately 350 billion liters of fuel annually and account for about 3 percent of human-caused CO2 emissions. For long-haul flights over 4,000 km in particular, there is no alternative to liquid fuels, as only these provide a sufficiently high energy density. The development of sustainable aviation fuels

Methanol als Rohstoff für nachhaltigen Flugkraftstoff qualifiziert
Die weltweit mehr als 23.000 Großflugzeuge verbrauchen jährlich rund 350 Milliarden Liter Treibstoff und emittieren etwa 3 Prozent der menschgemachten CO2-Emissionen. Insbesondere für Langstreckenflüge über 4.000 km gibt es keine Alternative zu flüssigen Kraftstoffen, da nur diese eine ausreichend hohe Energiedichte bereitstellen. Die Entwicklung nachhaltiger Flugkraftstoffe (Sustainable Aviation Fuels, SAF) hat nun einen wichtigen Meilenstein
