Stockholm Exergi has been awarded support in the Swedish Energy Agency’s reverse auction for BECCS. The approved support amounts to just over 20 billion SEK and will be disbursed continuously over a maximum of 15 years, starting from the commencement of geological storage. The support is an important part of the funding to enable the
Johnson Matthey’s (JM) e-methanol technology has been selected by Reolum for the next phase of its La Robla Nueva Energia (NE) project. Located in the Spanish region of Castilla y León, it will be one of the largest e-methanol production plants in Europe, planned to be online by the end of 2027. The facility will
A groundbreaking study has unveiled an innovative method to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and electricity into single-cell protein (SCP). This breakthrough bioprocess holds promise not only for food security but also for addressing environmental challenges related to greenhouse gas emissions. Conducted by researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University and the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, both
To contain the damage of climate change, reducing emissions and switching to renewable energy sources will not be enough. Removing some of the excess carbon dioxide warming our planet is critically important; however, current methods for human-directed carbon capture are expensive and inefficient. To support the development of new carbon capture technologies, nine Cornell researchers
The Renewable Materials Conference (RMC) in Siegburg/Cologne (Germany) is the world’s largest conference on chemicals and materials based on biomass, carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) and advanced recycling – the only alternatives to fossil-based chemicals and materials. The unique concept of presenting all renewable material solutions in one event hits the mark. It covers the entire value chain
Die Renewable Materials Conference (RMC), die erneut in Siegburg bei Köln stattfinden wird, ist die weltweit größte Konferenz für die Chemie- und Materialindustrie auf Basis von Biomasse, Kohlenstoffabscheidung und -nutzung (carbon capture and utilisation, CCU) und Advanced Recycling – den einzigen Alternativen zu Chemikalien und Materialien auf fossiler Basis. Das einzigartige Konzept, alle Lösungen für
The U.S. merchant CO2 industry represents well over 20 million metric tons of consumption among a wide range of applications far beyond the obvious such as beverage carbonation, firefighting and chilling with dry ice. In fact, the lion’s share of usage has been dedicated to cryogenic freezing, chilling and gas flush applications in food processing,
In order to recover valuable substances from CO2, it must be reduced in many individual steps. If electrocatalysis is used for this, many potentially different potential molecules are formed, which cannot necessarily be used. Biocatalysts, on the other hand, are selective and only produce one product – but they are also very sensitive. An international
Um aus CO2 wertvolle Stoffe zurückzugewinnen, muss es in vielen einzelnen Schritten reduziert werden. Nutzt man dafür die Elektrokatalyse, bilden sich dabei viele potenziell verschiedene Moleküle, die man nicht unbedingt nutzen kann. Biokatalysatoren dagegen sind selektiv und stellen nur ein Produkt her – dafür sind sie aber auch sehr empfindlich. Ein internationales Forschungsteam um Prof. Dr.
Following the Green Deal, the EU is leading the way in transforming its transport sector towards climate neutrality. The current transport regulations provide a unique long-term horizon for sustainable carbon-based fuels in aviation and shipping through the defined quotas, in particular for biomass covered by Annex IX, and synthetic CO2-based fuels.
