The Green Brief: Fossil fuel subsidies are back (and they’re here to stay)

All EU governments more or less agree that the long-term response to surging energy prices is to accelerate the transition to renewable power and promote energy savings through schemes like building renovation programmes. Yet when faced with the current global surge in energy prices, they have – understandably – resorted to short-termism with tried and

US‐Energietechnologiekonzern Baker Hughes steigt bei Electrochaea ein und erweitert CCU‐Technologieportfolio

EXCLUSIVE: Could biogas solve the UK’s CO2 supply issues?

Creating a network of CO2 supply sources from biogas plants could be the answer to preventing future shortages, according to UK-based BioCarbonics. Established in June 2018, BioCarbonics works with AD operators/biogas producers to help them recover and monetise their waste CO2, providing a dedicated channel to market for biogenic ‘green’ CO2 from renewable energy sources. Earlier this

Simple method for converting carbon dioxide into useful compounds

Researchers in Japan have found an energy-efficient way to convert the chief greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals. Using the method, CO2 is transformed into structures called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), suggesting a new and simpler route to dispose of the greenhouse gas to help tackle global warming. The research was carried out by scientists

Baubeginn für weltweit erste integrierte kommerzielle Anlage zur Herstellung von eFuels

Der Sportwagenhersteller Porsche und Siemens Energy errichten in Punta Arenas in Chile gemeinsam mit einer Reihe von internationalen Unternehmen eine Industrieanlage zur Herstellung nahezu CO2-neutralen Kraftstoffs (eFuel). Für dieses zukunftsweisende Projekt wurde heute im Beisein des chilenischen Energieministers Juan Carlos Jobet der erste Spatenstich gesetzt. Nördlich von Punta Arenas im chilenischen Patagonien entsteht zunächst eine

Construction begins on world’s first integrated commercial plant for producing eFuels

Sports car manufacturer Porsche and Siemens Energy have joined forces with a number of international companies to build an industrial plant for the production of an almost carbon-neutral fuel (eFuel) in Punta Arenas, Chile. The ground-breaking ceremony for this pioneering project took place today (10 September) in the presence of Chile’s Energy Minister Juan Carlos

Shell to build one of Europe’s biggest biofuels facilities

Once built, the facility will be among the biggest in Europe to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel made from waste. A facility of this size could produce enough renewable diesel to avoid 2,800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions a year, the equivalent of taking more than 1 million European cars* off the
