How to Defossilise the Chemical Industry: RCI’s new policy proposals for a Renewable Carbon Future

The European chemical industry, a cornerstone of manufacturing with significant economic impact and a key enabler for many other industries, is at a crossroads. The sector is facing an acute crisis due to global competition, rising energy costs and regulatory burdens. Once a leader in patents and production, Europe now trails behind China and the US,

Econic Signs Strategic Licensing Agreement with Saudi Aramco Technologies Company (SATC) for CO2 Polyols

Econic Technologies, a deep tech company focused on renewable carbon, has signed a global license agreement for strategic rights to Saudi Aramco Technologies Company’s (SATC) CO2 polymer technologies. By incorporating the technology into its existing portfolio, Econic will expand its overall product offering, allowing it to better serve new and existing customers in coatings, adhesives, sealants,

Is CO₂ the Key to a More Sustainable Chemical and Fuel Industry?

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is often viewed solely as a major contributor to climate change and global warming, but it also holds significant potential as a valuable resource. Utilising CO₂ as a feedstock in chemical and fuel production could play a key role in transitioning to a more sustainable chemical sector and global economy. Innovative approaches

Clariant’s MegaMax™ 900 catalyst: Powerful start at European Energy’s e-methanol plant

Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced the successful startup of its MegaMax 900 methanol synthesis catalyst at European Energy’s e-methanol plant. Located in Kasso, Denmark, the facility is one of the world’s first and, up to now, largest commercial e-methanol plant, using biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen to produce up to 42,000 tons

SwRI develops process to produce graphene from CO2

Chemical engineers at Southwest Research Institute produced gram quantities of graphene and other carbonaceous materials by bubbling carbon dioxide through a bed of liquefied alkali earth metals. Graphene, a carbon allotrope, is used for everything from biomedical devices to sensors and electronics. The internally funded project advances the lab-scale conversion of CO2 into graphene which, like

Research project discovers ways to convert forest industry’s carbon dioxide emissions into raw material for plastics – results pave way for new sustainable industry

VTT Technical research centre of Finland and LUT University have completed a three-year research project on carbon capture and utilisation. The project investigated different technologies for producing renewable plastic raw materials from carbon dioxide and green hydrogen. Renewable energy, hydrogen economy and forest industry’s biogenic carbon dioxide emissions present significant opportunities for new sustainable industries.

BASF and Forestal collaborate on advanced e-methanol production using OASE® technology

BASF and Forestal de Atlántico S.A. (Forestal) have signed an early disclosure agreement (EDA) aimed at advancing the production of e-methanol (eMeOH) through carbon capture solutions. Under this strategic partnership, BASF has been selected to share its proprietary OASE® blue technology, designed for the efficient removal of CO2 from flue gases, for use in Forestal’s pioneering Triskelion
