Life cycle assessment of carbon capture


In our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, carbon capture is mentioned as a possible technology. CO2 can, for example, be captured from large industrial companies and from incineration plants. However, like all other technologies, carbon capture leaves its own imprint on the outside world. DTU Environment has therefore conducted a life cycle analysis, which

Liquid fuels from carbon dioxide: Electrocatalyst converts CO2 into multicarbon products


A new electrocatalyst called a-CuTi@Cu converts carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into liquid fuels. As reported by a team of Chinese researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie, active copper centered on an amorphous copper/titanium alloy produces ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency. Most of our global energy demands are still being met by burning fossil fuels, which contributes

Deutschland im Kunststoffrecycling und bei Biokunststoffen europaweit mit den meisten Patenten


Deutschland hat in Europa zwar mit die meisten Patente bei Kunststoffrecycling und alternativen Kunststofftechnologien, jedoch mit Mangel an Spezialisierung im Vergleich zu anderen führenden europäischen Staaten. das geht aus einer Studie des Europäischen Patentamts (EPA) hervort. So entfielen auf Europa und die USA zwischen 2010 und 2019 jeweils 30 Prozent bzw. zusammen 60 Prozent der

Kohlendioxid-Sauger fürs Klima


Die Isländer sitzen auf einer Ressource, die am wertvollsten ist, wenn sie einfach da bleibt, wo sie ist, Hunderte Meter unter der Erde. Dann könnte das Basaltgestein Kohlendioxid binden, das einst aus dem Boden geholt, verbrannt wurde und in der Atmosphäre seine klimaschädliche Wirkung entfaltet hat. Das zumindest ist die Idee hinter „Orca“. Orca ist
