Novel catalyst radically enhances rate of conversion of carbon dioxide into solar fuels


Carbon dioxide or CO2 can potentially be used as a feedstock to be converted into carbon-neutral “solar fuels” that store energy from the sun. But for them to be competitive with fossil fuels, the chemical reaction that performs this conversion needs much more efficient catalysts. Researchers have recently come up with a photocatalyst structure involving isolated

The Biomass Utilisation Factor (BUF): A simple indicator to calculate circularity of biomass and bio-based products


The idea of transforming our economy from linear to circular has been visibly present and increasingly dominant in recent decades. At least since the introduction of the Circular Economy Action Plan in 2014, the European Union committed to the idea of circularity and has been designing, implementing and revising strategies and regulations to make a

Neste und VTT vereinbaren den Bau einer Power-to-Liquids-Demonstrationsanlage für die CO2-Abscheidung sowie die Produktion von grünem Wasserstoff und E-Fuels im VTT Bioruukki Pilot Centre


Die Entwicklung von Power-to-Liquids-Technologien hin zu ihrer kommerziellen Anwendung im großen Maßstab macht Fortschritte. Mit E-Fuels kann die Palette an klimaneutralen Kraftstoffen für den Verkehr über die erneuerbaren biobasierten Kraftstoffe hinaus erweitert werden, um fossile Kraftstoffe in bestehenden Verbrennungsmotoren zu ersetzen. Das Endprodukt ist ein erneuerbarer synthetischer Kraftstoff, der sich sowohl für Flugzeuge und Schiffe

VTT and Neste agreed on building an integrated Power-to-Liquids (e-fuels) demonstration facility at VTT Bioruukki Pilot Centre for CO2 capture, green hydrogen and e-fuels production


Power-to-Liquids technologies are on their way to commercialization in scale. E-fuels offer a way to expand the carbon-neutral transport fuel pool beyond biomass-based renewable fuels to replace fossil fuels in existing internal combustion engines. The end product is a transportation fuel suited for aircraft, ships as well as heavy and light road vehicles. Development of

Synthetische Kraftstoffe ermöglichen auf lange Sicht Literpreise von unter einem Euro


Angesichts rasant gestiegener Benzin- und Dieselpreise fordert der Interessenverband eFuel Alliance eine größere Akzeptanz für synthetische Kraftstoffe. „Wir bleiben ein Importland für Energie – derzeit haben wir eine Importquote von 60 Prozent. Viele Länder auf der Welt haben deutlich mehr Sonne und Wind, diese Energiequellen sollten wir für uns erschließen“, sagte Monika Griefahn, Vorstandssprecherin der

Researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt develop new biobattery for hydrogen storage


The fight against climate change is making the search for carbon-neutral energy sources increasingly urgent. Green hydrogen, which is produced from water with the help of renewable energies such as wind or solar power, is one of the solutions on which hopes are pinned. However, transporting and storing the highly explosive gas is difficult, and
