Weltpremiere für Power-to-Liquid: ERA ONE erhält ISCC-EU-Zertifizierung

INERATEC, Pionier für nachhaltige e-Fuels aus Karlsruhe, hat mit der ISCC-EU-Zertifizierung seiner Power-to-Liquid-Anlage ERA ONE einen zentralen regulatorischen Meilenstein erreicht. Die Zertifizierung nach dem EU-anerkannten System „International Sustainability and Carbon Certification” bestätigt die Konformität mit den Anforderungen der Erneuerbare-Energien-Richtlinie (EU) 2018/2001 (RED III). ERA ONE ist damit die weltweit erste Power-to-Liquid-Anlage nach dem Fischer-Tropsch-Verfahren, deren synthetische Kraftstoffe vollständig als

Econic Introduces Polyols for Polyurethane Dispersions Made from Captured Carbon

Econic Technologies, a deep tech company focused on renewable carbon, has unveiled new polyols technology for high-performance polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) based on captured CO₂. Paint and coatings brands that opt for PUDs made with Econic’s renewable carbon technology can enhance product performance and make bolder environmental claims, while mitigating supply chain risks related to sourcing hydrocarbons. Called

UP Catalyst Advances Plans for Commercial Graphite Production in Finland

Estonian deep-tech company UP Catalyst is advancing plans to produce battery-grade graphite and carbon nanotubes from CO₂ emissions in Finland. UP Catalyst and Finnish energy company Oulun Energia have signed a Letter of Intent for the utilisation of captured CO₂ emissions from one of Oulun Energia’s facilities in Oulu, Finland. UP Catalyst produces battery-grade graphite

VTT and Mitsubishi Electric establish core technology for Direct Ocean Capture

Achieving long-term climate targets will require not only deep emissions reductions, but also scalable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions. Mitsubishi Electric and VTT are now taking a significant step forward by advancing Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) technology from early-stage development toward pilot-scale validation. As global climate targets become increasingly ambitious, interest in scalable CDR solutions

Turning industrial waste into green value: GlyCO2Chem project brings circular carbon chemistry to life

Thanks to expert support from Spinverse, the GlyCO2Chem project consortium led by Gefn ehf. from Iceland has secured €2.7 million in funding from the Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) under Horizon Europe. The initiative aims to transform industrial by-products into high-value sustainable chemicals whilst reducing carbon emissions and creating new value chains for the green

Baden-Württemberg hat Potenzial für eigene nachhaltige Kraftstoffherstellung

Wie kann Baden-Württemberg die Treibhausgase im Verkehrssektor reduzieren und nachhaltige Kraftstoffe selbst produzieren? Das vom Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE koordinierte Projekt »E-Fuels fürs LÄND« untersuchte die Herstellung von E-Fuels mit maximaler Wertschöpfung in Baden-Württemberg, belastbaren Geschäftsmodellen und einem schnellen Markthochlauf. Demnach hat Dimethylether (DME) dank des effizienten neuen INDIGO-Prozesses das Potenzial, die Gestehungskosten von

UQ tech turns captured CO₂ into valuable chemicals

The first-of-its-kind electrochemical generator offers high‑emissions industries a safer and more environmentally friendly pathway to convert waste CO₂ into useful products, while reducing the need for fossil-fuel‑based chemical manufacturing.  Designed by Professor Xiwang Zhang, Dr Mike Tebyetekerwa and PhD student Rizal Evans from UQ’s School of Chemical Engineering, the generator is powered by electricity and requires only water and captured carbon dioxide to create formate, the base compound for formic acid. “With basic ingredients and the push of a button, we

Aisan adopts Celanese POM ECO-C for fuel pump modules supplied to a North American automaker

Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global specialty materials and chemical company, today announced that Aisan Industry Kentucky, LLC., the consolidated subsidiary of Japan-based Aisan Industry Co., Ltd., has adopted a Celanese polyacetal resin (POM) made from captured CO₂ for fuel pump modules produced for a North American automaker. This milestone reflects continued momentum for Celanese

Ohmium and RenewCO2 Collaborate to Advance CO2-to-Chemicals Technology

Ohmium International Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-efficiency, modular Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, today announced its collaboration with RenewCO₂ to bring electrochemical CO₂ conversion technology to commercial scale. This joint development pairing RenewCO₂’s patented eCUT-FA™ catalyst technology with the Ohmium Lotus PEM electrolyzer platform and manufacturing capabilities has the potential to accelerate CO₂-to-chemicals commercialization.
