EU-Accelerator fördert drei Bioökonomie-Start-ups

Der European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator hat in seiner jüngsten und bislang größten Finanzierungsrunde 627 Mio. Euro an 99 Start-ups und KMU ausgeschüttet. Auch zwölf deutsche Firmen profitieren – darunter BIOWEG, CO2BioClean und Genome Biologics. Die Mittel stammen aus dem Horizon-Europe-Programm. Biobasierte Stoffe für Kosmetik, Gesundheit und Ernährung BIOWEG wurde 2019 gegründet und verbindet Biotechnologie,

Stackable artificial leaf uses less power than lightbulb to capture 100 times more carbon than other systems

Engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago have built a cost-effective artificial leaf that can capture carbon dioxide at rates 100 times better than current systems. Unlike other carbon capture systems, which work in labs with pure carbon dioxide from pressurized tanks, this artificial leaf works in the real world. It captures carbon dioxide from

nova’s experts (re)introduced: Dr Ángel Puente

Dr. Ángel Puente, M.Sc., joined the nova-Institute in 2017 and is part of both the Sustainability and Technology & Markets Departments. With his background in Chemistry, Ángel Puente supports the nova-Institute conducting ISO Life Cycle and Sustainability Assessments of renewable chemicals and materials, including critical reviews. Moreover, technology scouting, market research and feedstock analysis round

Circular carbon dioxide seeks balance

Although the storage and recirculation of CO2 are often mentioned in the same breath, they are two very different sports. Both options are necessary to reduce CO2 emissions and to ensure a smooth energy and raw material transition. According to Earl Goetheer of TNO and Peter Moser of RWE, added value and energy consumption have

Decarbonisation tech instantly converts CO2 to solid carbon

The carbon dioxide utilisation technology from RMIT researchers is designed to be smoothly integrated into existing industrial processes. Decarbonisation is an immense technical challenge for heavy industries like cement and steel, which are not only energy-intensive but also directly emit CO2 as part of the production process. The new technology offers a pathway for instantly

Haldor Topsoe to support Indaba Renewable Fuels’ production of sustainable aviation fuel

Indaba Renewable Fuels (Indaba) will build two greenfield refineries in California and Missouri to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) utilizing Topsoe’sHydroFlex™ technology. The facilities are expected to begin production of SAF in 2024 totaling. The capacity of the plants is 6500 barrels per day at each location. Topsoe will also provide its H2bridge™ hydrogen technology

CropEnergies AG unveils plans to produce renewable ethyl acetate using Johnson Matthey technology

CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, and Johnson Matthey, London, a leader in sustainable technologies, have entered into an engineering, license and technical services agreement for a plant to allow CropEnergies AG to produce renewable ethyl acetate from sustainable ethanol near its production site in Zeitz, Germany. Using Johnson Matthey technology, the renewable ethyl acetate produced by CropEnergies

CropEnergies AG präsentiert Pläne zur Herstellung von erneuerbarem Ethylacetat mit Johnson Matthey-Technologie

Die CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, und Johnson Matthey, London, ein führendes Unternehmen für nachhaltige Technologien, haben einen Planungs-, Lizenz- und technischen Dienstleistungsvertrag für eine Anlage abgeschlossen, mit der die CropEnergies AG in der Nähe ihres Produktionsstandorts in Zeitz aus nachhaltigem Ethanol erneuerbares Ethylacetat herstellen kann. Das mit der Johnson Matthey-Technologie von CropEnergies produzierte erneuerbare Ethylacetat verringert

What if all our buildings were sucking carbon from the air?

The first commercial carbon removal plant, where CO2 is sucked out of the air and stored underground, is in a remote part of Iceland, nowhere near a city. It’s a massive industrial operation. But the carbon-capturing technology doesn’t need to be sequestered to the middle of nowhere: It could also be incorporated into neighborhoods—something that

Overcoming a bottleneck in carbon dioxide conversion

If researchers could find a way to chemically convert carbon dioxide into fuels or other products, they might make a major dent in greenhouse gas emissions. But many such processes that have seemed promising in the lab haven’t performed as expected in scaled-up formats that would be suitable for use with a power plant or
