Durchbruch bei der Abscheidung von “heißem” CO2 aus Industrieabgasen


Industrieanlagen, die z.B. Zement oder Stahl herstellen, stoßen große Mengen Kohlendioxid, ein starkes Treibhausgas, aus, aber die Abgase sind zu heiß für moderne Technologien zur CO2-Abscheidung. Für die Abkühlung der Abgase wird viel Energie und Wasser benötigt, was die Einführung der CO2-Abscheidung in einigen der umweltschädlichsten Industrien behindert hat. Jetzt haben Chemiker der University of California,

Sustainable Aviation Fuel – Key Market Drivers and Production Tech


Aviation contributes 2.5% of global CO2 emissions and 12% of transport emissions, generating over 1 billion tonnes in 2019. While relatively small compared to road transport, aviation is one of the fastest-growing transport sectors, with ICAO forecasting a tripling of international aviation emissions by 2050 from 2015 levels without intervention. In addition, electric and hydrogen propulsion

Researchers create novel electro-biodiesel more efficient, cleaner than alternatives


Vehicles fueled by diesel lead to substantial carbon emissions that are challenging to decarbonize. In 2022, diesel fuel use made up about one-fourth of total U.S. transportation carbon dioxide emissions and about one-tenth of total energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Joshua Yuan, the Lucy & Stanley Lopata Professor and
