Kawasaki Heavy unveils Japan’s biggest ‘air carbon removal’ pilot, plans megatonne system by 2030

Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries said it has completed one of the country’s largest direct air capture (DAC) demonstration units at its Kobe plant, aiming to accelerate development of technology that removes carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Direct air capture uses chemical processes to pull CO₂ out of ambient air, allowing the captured carbon to be stored

DP CleanTech wins contract for revolutionary 50MWe biomass cogeneration project in Spain

DP CleanTech has been awarded a major contract to design, engineer and deliver a 50MWe biomass boiler and flue gas cleaning system for the La Robla Green Project in Castilla y León, Spain — a landmark initiative set to reshape Europe’s renewable fuels landscape. Spearheaded by Reolum, the €850 million project will combine a 50MWe biomass power plant (Roblum),

From waste to asset: Turning ethanol production CO₂ into jet fuel

The CO2 released from corn during ethanol production could actually be a valuable, underutilized resource for producing aviation fuel rather than a waste byproduct, according to a study published in the SAE International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, Energy, Environment, & Policy. Unlike the CO₂ from coal plants or cement kilns, which requires a lot of energy to

GBL, ICT Mumbai launch pilot plant to convert CO2 into clean fuel alternative

Godavari Biorefineries Limited has inaugurated a pilot plant in Sakarwadi, Maharashtra, to test a technology that converts carbon dioxide into dimethyl ether (DME), a fuel that can substitute liquefied petroleum gas and diesel. The project, developed in partnership with the Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai, marks the first one-step process globally to produce DME directly from

The Realistic Future Of Carbon Capture: Pure Streams, Right Locations, Smart Uses

Carbon capture and storage has been marketed as a general solution to climate change. The record shows it is not. Where it does make sense is where chemistry gives you a high-volume, concentrated stream of CO2, where geography puts that stream on top of storage or at a pier with pipeline routes offshore, and where

STEROPE: Pioneering Europe’s new model of carbon circularity and industrial decarbonization

STEROPE is a new European project that will demonstrate how advanced Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies can transform industrial CO₂ emissions into sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), renewable marine fuels, and bio-based chemicals, using green hydrogen and innovative catalytic and membrane systems. Led by HELLENiQ ENERGY (Greece), this four-year initiative unites 16 European partners from eight countries in

Exklusive dm-Innovation schützt das Klima, schont Ressourcen und stärkt Kreisläufe

Erstmals können Tenside über ein fermentations-basiertes CO2-Recycling-Verfahren gewonnen werden. Diese technologische Innovation ist dm gemeinsam mit seinen Herstellpartnern LanzaTech und der Mibelle Group gelungen. Ab November bringt dm mit dem Color- und dem Vollwaschmittel von Denkmit unter dem Pro Climate-Label die ersten beiden Produkte in seine mehr als 2.150 deutschen dm-Märkte. Das neuartig gewonnene, nichtionische

dm-drogerie markt Launches New Sustainable Laundry Detergent

German retailer dm-drogerie markt will launch new sustainable laundry detergents under its own-brand, Denkmit, this November. The first two Denkmit detergents, colour and all-purpose laundry detergent, will be available in dm’s more than 2.150 German stores. The German drugstore chain collaborated with its production partners LanzaTech and the Mibelle Group to create a new environmentally friendly manufacturing process for detergents. Sustainable

Last Chance to Register – Advanced Recycling Conference 2025

On 19-20 November 2025, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) in Cologne, Germany, once more unites industry leaders, technology providers, researchers, innovators, and policy-makers to address urgent recycling challenges in various waste-streams. Alongside core-topics like plastics and polymer recycling, this year’s event places strong emphasis on pollution-intensive sectors like textile and automotive, that pose significant environmental problems due to
