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

Canada Nickel Identifies New Method for Accelerated CO2 Capture

Highlights Simple carbon capture approach could allow production of Net Zero nickel and generation of 21 tonnes of CO2credits per tonne of nickel produced after offsetting all emissions Demonstrates potential to turn a nickel mine into a generator of carbon credits rather than generator of carbon emissions Crawford Project could produce an estimated average of

Nonthermal Plasma-Promoted CO2 Hydrogenation in Presence of Alloy Catalysts

Nonthermal plasma (NTP) is used to activate CO2 molecules for hydrogenation into alternative fuels at low temperatures, also enabling the conversion of renewable electricity to chemical energy. Researchers from Tokyo Tech combined experimental and computational methods to investigate the hydrogenation pathway of NTP-promoted CO2on the surface of Pd2Ga/SiO2 catalysts. The mechanistic insights from their study can help

Renewable Carbon Initiative sees Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive revision as central

In Belgium, on-going revision of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive is a central element of a wide variety of Green Deal objectives, such as climate neutrality, mobilizing industry for a clean and circular economy or the zero pollution ambition that offers opportunities to increase the ambitions for sustainable plastic packaging. As an organization, the Renewable

Renewable & CCU fuels: an alternative to gas dependency available here & now in Europe

Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine has led Europe to rethink its energy policies from both a geopolitical and a climate perspective. In a context where the world’s energy system has been massively disrupted, the European Union (EU) is looking for new pathways to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels imported from Russia as well as

Beiersdorf launches world’s first cosmetic product with recycled CO2

Carbon dioxide and skin care: These are two worlds that could hardly be more different at first glance. With the innovative NIVEA MEN “Climate Care Moisturizer”, which is on shelf now, Beiersdorf demonstrates again that it is possible to benefit both the skin and the environment. NIVEA MEN is the first manufacturer of skin care

Beiersdorf bringt weltweit erstes Kosmetikprodukt mit recyceltem CO2 auf den Markt

Kohlendioxid und Hautpflege: Dies sind zwei Welten, die auf den ersten Blick unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten. Mit dem innovativen Produkt NIVEA MEN „Feuchtigkeitspflege Climate Care“, das ab sofort im Handel erhältlich ist, beweist Beiersdorf einmal mehr, dass es möglich ist, sowohl der Haut von Konsument*innen als auch der Umwelt etwas Gutes zu tun. Als erster

How can the plastics industry harness carbon capture with polymers made from emissions?

Dr Hydra Rodrigues, technology analyst at IDTechEx, analyses the opportunities and challenges involved with using captured CO2 emissions as feedstock in the production of polymers, which the organisation suggests could facilitate a circular carbon economy. One of the major environmental issues facing the planet today is the rising levels of plastic consumption and waste. According to
