80% yield! Success in synthesizing biodegradable plastic materials using sunlight and CO2!

Tremendous effort has been put into making plastics not only durable and convenient but also environmentally-friendly materials for everyday products. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists made a significant advance in this journey with their innovative artificial photosynthesis technology that produces biodegradable plastics from acetone and CO2, addressing the plastic waste crisis while moving toward the goal

Erfolgreiche Synthese biologisch abbaubarer Kunststoffe mit Hilfe von Sonnenlicht und CO₂

Es wurden enorme Anstrengungen unternommen, um Kunststoffe nicht nur haltbar und praktisch, sondern auch zu umweltfreundlichen Materialien für Alltagsprodukte zu machen. Wissenschaftler der Osaka Metropolitan University haben mit ihrer innovativen Technologie der künstlichen Photosynthese, mit der biologisch abbaubare Kunststoffe aus Aceton und CO2 hergestellt werden, einen bedeutenden Fortschritt auf diesem Weg erzielt und damit das Problem

Green energy transition will be cheap

So far, many analysts expected high-renewable energy scenarios to be beneficial to the global climate; but maybe a bit expensive as well. A recent study argues that this too pessimistic. The green energy transition will in fact be much cheaper than ‘more of the same’. Not even regarding the benefits of a more stable climate. Sustainability will

Dragons’ Den: chemical building blocks from CO2

Spin-off Oxylum (University of Antwerp) already produces formic acid from CO2 with a relatively small electrolyzer. And it can also produce other chemical building blocks. The startup is eager to scale up. During the Dragons’ Den of Transition on November 30th at Chemelot, the company is looking for chain partners. ‘The ultimate goal is a

International research project achieves record in converting carbon dioxide into fuels

In an international research project involving the Technische Universität Ilmenau, scientists have succeeded in developing a sunlight-powered device that converts carbon dioxide directly into usable fuels with an efficiency of over five percent. This brings closer the goal of not only eliminating the harmful greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, but also converting it into high-quality fuels.

Internationales Forschungsprojekt erzielt Rekordwert bei Umwandlung von Kohlendioxid in Brennstoffe

In einem internationalen Forschungsprojekt mit Beteiligung der Technischen Universität Ilmenau ist es Wissenschaftlern gelungen, ein mit Sonnenlicht betriebenes Bauelement zu entwickeln, das Kohlendioxid mit einem Wirkungsgrad von über fünf Prozent direkt in nutzbare Brennstoffe konvertiert. Damit ist das Ziel näher gerückt, das schädliche Treibhausgas Kohlendioxid nicht nur zu beseitigen, sondern es in hochwertige Treibstoffe umzuwandeln.

Mitsubishi Heavy readies launch of compact carbon capture units

Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is preparing to launch a line of compact carbon capture units next year as demand for the technology spreads across industries and to smaller businesses. Carbon capture, utility, and storage (CCUS) is used most commonly to trap carbon dioxide produced by thermal power plants and large factories. The captured carbon is
