Six Materials Nominated for the Innovation Award “Renewable Material of the Year 2023”


One way to overcome the industry’s dependence on fossil carbon is to replace crude oil and natural gas with renewable carbon within the existing structures of the chemical industry. Other ways require innovation, the development of new processes, building blocks and materials. This means a new way of thinking about chemistry and materials. Ready-to-use, fossil-free,

Sechs Materialien für den Innovationspreis „Renewable Material of the Year 2023“ nominiert


Ein Weg zur Überwindung der Abhängigkeit der Industrie von fossilem Kohlenstoff ist die Substitution von Erdöl und Erdgas durch erneuerbaren Kohlenstoff innerhalb bestehender Strukturen der chemischen Industrie. Andere Wege erfordern Innovation, die Entwicklung neuer Prozesse, Bausteine und Materialien. Dies setzt ein neues Denken in Chemie und Werkstoffen voraus. Zugleich steigt die Nachfrage nach gebrauchsfertigen, nicht

Value from waste(water) CO₂ – Invitation to the First Stakeholder Workshop on LCA and S-LCA of the WaterProof Project


Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) have established themselves as powerful tools to evaluate the environmental and social impacts of products and processes. The use of LCA and S-LCA can help to better understand the sustainability performance of a chosen process, and to identify ways in which it can be improved.

CO2 Electrolysis as an Alternative to Coal


Coal in the Rhenish region is not only an important fuel for power generation. It is also used by the chemical industry to produce important basic chemicals. But by the time of the coal phase-out these substances will have to be obtained from other renewable sources. One example is carbon monoxide, or CO for short,

CO2-Elektrolyse statt Kohle


Die Braunkohle im Rheinischen Revier dient nicht nur der Stromerzeugung. Sie wird auch von der chemischen Industrie genutzt, um wichtige Grundchemikalien herzustellen. Doch spätestens nach dem Kohlestopp müssen diese auf anderen Wegen gewonnen werden. Ein Beispiel ist Kohlenmonoxid, kurz: CO, das für die Produktion von Kunststoffen und Essigsäure verwendet wird. Wissenschaftler vom Forschungszentrum Jülich arbeiten

Greening the beauty industry


Modern society relies on the products of traditional manufacturing processes: plastics, fuels, solvents, etc. However, these industrial activities release significant volumes of atmosphere-warming CO2 into the air and there is an urgent need to address this problem. “We need to be thinking about how we can turn what is considered a waste stream that has
