Carbon Capture’s Role in Net-Zero – IDTechEx Explores CCUS Technologies


Reaching net zero by 2050 will require global reductions in anthropogenic CO2 emissions, alongside removing legacy CO2 as a complementary approach. IDTechEx’s report, “Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Markets 2025-2045: Technologies, Market Forecasts”, and Players, explores carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) as a means to stop carbon dioxide from entering the environment through a variety

Neue Studie belegt: Treibhausgasneutrale Chemie im Rheinland bis 2045 möglich


Die chemische Industrie im Rheinland hat das Potenzial, bis 2045 treibhausgasneutral zu werden. Dazu bedarf es einer Kombination aus erneuerbaren Energien, alternativen Ressourcen und einer optimierten Infrastruktur für die Chemieregion. Das zeigt die neue Studie “ChemCologne.Neutral” der Brancheninitiative ChemCologne, die verschiedene Szenarien und Technologien für eine Netto-Null-Transformation beleuchtet. Die Studie wurde heute an NRW-Wirtschaftsministerin Mona

CO2 utilisation as an alternative to permanent sequestration


If we move away from fossil fuels as a source of carbon, the question arises what should then become our source. Lux Research presents an answer: CO2 utilization. This could fulfil the demand for carbon value chains without relying on fossil-based carbon. But regulatory support will still be required. An alternative to sequestration Lux is a

Improved catalyst turns harmful greenhouse gases into cleaner fuels, chemical feedstocks


A chemical reaction can convert two polluting greenhouse gases into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high temperature required for the reaction also deactivates the catalyst. A team led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has found a way to thwart deactivation. The strategy may apply broadly to

Breakthrough in capturing ‘hot’ CO2 from industrial exhaust


Industrial plants, such as those that make cement or steel, emit copious amounts of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas, but the exhaust is too hot for state-of-the-art carbon removal technology. Lots of energy and water are needed to cool the exhaust streams, a requirement that has limited adoption of CO2 capture in some of the
