Südzucker becomes member of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI)

Südzucker’s membership underscores the company’s ambitions to support an accelerated transformation of the use of fossil carbon to renewable carbon from biomass, carbon dioxide and recycling. At the same time, it gives Südzucker the opportunity to raise the profile of sustainable agriculture in the context of a fossil carbon-free industry. The chemical industry and many

Südzucker wird Mitglied in der Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI)

Mit der Mitgliedschaft unterstreicht Südzucker die Ambitionen des Unternehmens zur Unterstützung einer beschleunigten Transformation der Nutzung von fossilem Kohlenstoff hin zu erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff aus Biomasse, Kohlenstoffdioxid und Recycling. Gleichzeitig eröffnet es Südzucker die Möglichkeit, das Thema nachhaltige Landwirtschaft im Kontext einer Industrie ohne fossilen Kohlenstoff stärker in den Vordergrund zu rücken. Sowohl die chemische Industrie

A simple, cheap material for carbon capture, perhaps from tailpipes

The process for synthesizing the melamine material, published this week in the journal Science Advances, could potentially be scaled down to capture emissions from vehicle exhaust or other movable sources of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning makes up about 75% of all greenhouse gases produced in the U.S. The new material is simple

The Carbon to Value Initiative Announces Year Two Startup Cohort for Carbontech Accelerator Program

The Carbon to Value Initiative (C2V Initiative), a multi-year collaboration among the Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering (UFL), Greentown Labs, and Fraunhofer USA, which is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), has selected eight startups for the second year of its carbontech accelerator program, in partnership with Fluor Corporation, the initiative’s

Turning Fish Waste into Quality Carbon-based Nanomaterial

Thanks to their low toxicity, chemical stability, and remarkable electrical and optical properties, carbon-based nanomaterials are finding more and more applications across electronics, energy conversion and storage, catalysis, and biomedicine. Carbon nano-onions (CNOs) are certainly no exception. First reported in 1980, CNOs are nanostructures composed of concentric shells of fullerenes, resembling cages within cages. They

Umwandlung von Fischabfällen in hochwertiges Nanomaterial auf Kohlenstoffbasis

Dank ihrer geringen Toxizität, ihrer chemischen Stabilität und ihrer bemerkenswerten elektrischen und optischen Eigenschaften finden Nanomaterialien auf Kohlenstoffbasis immer mehr Anwendungen in den Bereichen Elektronik, Energieumwandlung und -speicherung, Katalyse und Biomedizin. Kohlenstoff-Nano-Ionen (CNOs) sind sicherlich keine Ausnahme. CNOs wurden erstmals 1980 beschrieben und sind Nanostrukturen, die aus konzentrischen Schalen von Fullerenen bestehen und Käfigen in

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
