Bundeskabinett beschließt Evaluierungsbericht zum Kohlendioxid-Speicherungsgesetz (KSpG)


Die Bundesregierung muss den Evaluierungsbericht laut Gesetz alle vier Jahre vorlegen. Der heute beschlossene Bericht betrachtet neben CCS auch Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU). Im Gegensatz zu CCS wird das CO2 bei CCU nicht gespeichert, sondern weiterverwendet – z. B. in der Chemieindustrie. Darüber hinaus gibt der Bericht einen Ausblick auf die Carbon Management-Strategie, die die Bundesregierung im kommenden Jahr erarbeiten will. Für das Erreichen der Klimaneutralität haben

How the $1.7T omnibus affects energy, from CCS to hydrogen


The omnibus bill — which would fund the government at $1.7 trillion for fiscal 2023 — would provide $46.5 billion to DOE to “fund programs in its primary mission areas of science, energy, environment, and national security,” Senate appropriators said in an explanatory statement on the package. That’s an increase of roughly $1.7 billion from fiscal 2022

Limburg companies replace cement with CO₂ as building block binder


The new Carbstone was presented on Thursday 15 December in the presence of Flemish Environment Minister Zuhal Demir (N-VA). The Carbstone technology, patented by Orbix in 2011, converts metal slag from steel production via carbon dioxide into circular products with added value. The carbon dioxide acts as a binder, so cement is not used. The

European Green Deal: Commission proposes certification of carbon removals to help reach net zero emissions


The proposal will boost innovative carbon removal technologies and sustainable carbon farming solutions, and contribute to the EU’s climate, environmental and zero-pollution goals. The proposed regulation will significantly improve the EU’s capacity to quantify, monitor and verify carbon removals. Higher transparency will ensure trust from stakeholders and industry, and prevent greenwashing. Carbon removals can and

Leading international experts meet at one of the world’s key events on Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X


CCU is one essential pillar for the supply of renewable carbon besides biomass and recycling and therefore one of the key technologies for the transition to sustainable chemical and fuel production and to substitute fossil feedstock sources. This is crucial to fight additional CO2 emissions and climate change and to shift towards climate-friendly production and consumption.

Führende internationale Experten treffen sich auf einer der weltweit wichtigsten Veranstaltungen zu Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) und Power-to-X


Neben Biomasse und Recycling, stellt CCU eine wesentliche Säule der Versorgung mit erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff dar. Hierdurch ist sie eine Schlüsseltechnologie des Übergangs zu einer nachhaltigen Chemie- und Kraftstoffproduktion und zur Substitution fossiler Rohstoffquellen. Dies ist besonders für die Vermeidung zusätzlicher CO2-Emissionen und klimaschädlicher Effekte sowie für den Übergang zu einer klimafreundlichen Produktion und klimafreundlichen Konsumkonzepten

Neue Anlage produziert Kohlenstoff aus Luft


Das Treibhausgas CO2 aus der Atmosphäre entnehmen und durch kombinierte Prozesse in einen stabilen Kohlenstoff umwandeln – das leistet seit diesem Monat ein neuer Anlagenverbund am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) im Versuchsmaßstab. Das im Forschungsprojekt NECOC gemeinsam mit Industriepartnern entwickelte Verfahren vereint negative Emissionen mit der Produktion eines Hightech-Rohstoffs. Nun soll es energetisch optimiert und

Carbon Matchmaker


The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management is focused on advancing carbon management technologies to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through strong public-private partnerships and in a just and sustainable way. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) enables this mission by directing over $12 billion dollars for carbon management research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) over the next

To Battle Climate Change, Scientists Tap Into Carbon-Hungry Microorganisms for Clues


Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have demonstrated a new technique, modeled after a metabolic process found in some bacteria, for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into liquid acetate, a key ingredient in “liquid sunlight” or solar fuels produced through artificial photosynthesis. The new approach, reported in Nature Catalysis, could help advance carbon-free alternatives to fossil
