Lufthansa and Shell form future-oriented cooperation on sustainable aviation fuels

Shell International Petroleum Co Ltd and the Lufthansa Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for exploring the supply of SAF at airports across the globe. The parties intend to agree on a contract for a total supply volume of up to 1.8 million metric tons of SAF starting in 2024, over a term

Turning carbon dioxide into valuable products

MIT chemical engineers have found a way to speed up a chemical reaction that is key to converting captured carbon dioxide emissions into useful, valuable products. To prepare, they add a bit of DNA to a commonly used catalyst. They then rely on the natural behavior of DNA to situate the catalyst where it’s needed on an

Plasma reactor D-CRBN makes new raw materials out of CO2

The start-up D-CRBN wants to build plasma reactors in the Belgian port of Antwerp to convert CO₂ captured from industry into carbon monoxide. This is how they want to make new fuels, chemicals and chemical raw materials. This should have a positive impact on the climate. David Ziegler, one of the founders of the company,

Sun-to-Liquid: Kerosin direkt aus dem Solarturm

Die große Hoffnung der Luftfahrt ist synthetisches, über grünen Wasserstoff erzeugtes Kerosin, um auch in Zukunft möglichst klimafreundlich fliegen zu können. Denn rein elektrische Antriebe werden wegen des hohen Gewichts und mangelnder Energiedichte selbst bester Lithium-Ionen-Batterien höchstens für kleine Sportflieger genügen. Große Passagierjets bleiben dagegen weiterhin auf flüssige Treibstoffe angewiesen. Das begehrte Kerosin erzeugte nun

UAE’s NPCC And France’s Technip Energies To Set Up Joint Venture To Back Energy Transition

UAE-based National Petroleum Construction Company signed an agreement with French engineering technology company Technip Energies to set up a joint venture that will focus on energy transition. The agreement was signed on Tuesday on the sidelines of President Sheikh Mohamed’s visit to Paris, during which the UAE and France also signed a comprehensive strategic energy

The Stanford Lab Startup That Found a Constructive Way to Capture Carbon

Getting to Net Zero will require us to harvest carbon, by collecting it where fossil fuels still burn or by pulling it from the air. But what to do with CO2 once we’ve got it? Ideas range from burying it in rock formations to pumping it into oceans. Or, thought Etosha Cave, she could make stuff. “We’re taking CO2

Travertine looks to revolutionise metal extraction tech, sulphuric acid production

A new technology start-up that came out of research from the University of California, Berkeley is looking to commercialise a novel, cost-effective process to capture and permanently sequester ambient carbon dioxide while producing sulphuric acid. The process should, the company says, enable carbon-negative critical element extraction and fertiliser production. Travertine Technologies, Inc. today announced a

Joint EU-Japan Project Aims to Reduce Cost of Green Methanol

A joint European / Japanese research project aims to lower the energy requirements and costs for manufacturing green methanol, the future fuel of choice for Maersk and one of the leading candidates for decarbonizing deep-sea shipping. Methanol can be synthesized from carbon dioxide and hydrogen at high temperature, then converted to methanol for use as

The Navigator Company and P2X Europe have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a unique Joint Venture in Portugal to produce green, non-fossil synthetic eFuels

The Navigator Company and Hamburg-based developer P2X Europe have signed a memorandum of understanding to create a unique and powerful joint venture, P2X Portugal, to develop a world-class production facility for industrial-scale production of non-fossil jet fuels or e-SAFs (e-Sustainable Aviation Fuels) – carbon-neutral synthetic kerosene, based on green hydrogen and biogenic CO2. This project leverages on

MHIENG’s First Compact CO2 Capture System Goes into Commercial Operation at Biomass Power Plant in Hiroshima

On-site use of captured CO2 at power plant will turn entire Seifu Shinto suburb carbon negative Through proprietary CO2 capture technologies, MHIENG provides diverse solutions for small-scale facilities Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering, Ltd. (MHIENG), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has launched full-scale operation, on schedule, of a compact CO2 capture system ordered in November 2021
