How to make recyclable plastics out of CO2 to slow climate change


t’s morning and you wake on a comfortable foam mattress made partly from greenhouse gas. You pull on a T-shirt and sneakers containing carbon dioxide pulled from factory emissions. After a good run, you stop for a cup of joe and guiltlessly toss the plastic cup in the trash, confident it will fully biodegrade into

CCUS planned capacity nearing 1 billion tonnes per annum


The planned global CCUS capacity pipeline has reached 905 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), with more than 50 new projects announced this quarter. These findings come from Wood Mackenzie’s ‘CCUS Market Update for Q2 2022’ report. Lucy King, Senior Research Analyst and author of the report, said, “Despite continued momentum in the CCUS pipeline, much

Aviation Can’t Decarbonize Without Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)


The aviation industry has an ambitious goal. The target is to reach net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 through a mix of revolutionary aircraft and propulsion technologies, alternative fuels and operational improvements. In a matching ambition to be a net-zero company by 2050, GE Aviation is helping lead the industry to reduce CO2 emissions from flight.

Shell to convert Convent site to sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel production facility


Shell acknowledged in February that it planned to convert the old Convent site into an alternative fuels complex, though details were scarce at the time. However, the company on Monday filed requests with LED for a pair of state tax breaks — the Industrial Tax Exemption Program and Quality Jobs — that shed more light on

Effiziente Kohlendioxidreduktion unter sichtbarem Licht mit einem neuartigen, kostengünstigen Katalysator


Das Kohlendioxid (CO2), das bei der Verbrennung fossiler Brennstoffe in die Atmosphäre gelangt, ist eine der Hauptursachen für die globale Erwärmung. Eine Möglichkeit, dieser wachsenden Bedrohung zu begegnen, ist die Entwicklung von CO2-Reduktionstechnologien, die CO2 in nützliche Chemikalien wie CO und Ameisensäure (HCOOH) umwandeln. Photokatalytische CO2-Reduktionssysteme nutzen sichtbares oder ultraviolettes Licht zur CO2-Reduktion, ähnlich wie Pflanzen

Direct conversion of carbon dioxide into bulk chemicals and liquid fuels


The chemical utilization of CO2, which refers to converting CO2 into value-added chemicals and liquid fuels, has a distinct and direct CO2emission reduction effect, and can alleviate the energy crisis effectively. Using renewable H2 from H2O electrolysis, the direct conversion of CO2 into bulk chemicals and liquid fuels via heterogeneous catalysis may not only solve the problem of hydrogen storage

Direkte Umwandlung von Kohlendioxid in Grundchemikalien und flüssige Kraftstoffe


Die chemische Nutzung von CO2, d. h. die Umwandlung von CO2 in hochwertige Chemikalien und flüssige Brennstoffe, hat einen deutlichen und direkten Effekt auf die Reduzierung der CO2-Emissionen und kann die Energiekrise wirksam lindern. Unter Verwendung von erneuerbarem H2 aus der H2O-Elektrolyse kann die direkte Umwandlung von CO2 in Grundchemikalien und flüssige Brennstoffe mittels heterogener Katalyse nicht nur
