Lights, Catalyst, Reaction! Converting CO2 to Formic Acid Using an Alumina-supported, Iron-based Compound

Photoreduction of CO2 into transportable fuel like formic acid (HCOOH) is a great way of dealing with CO2‘s rising levels in the atmosphere. To aid in this mission, a research team from Tokyo Tech chose an easily available iron-based mineral and loaded it onto an alumina support to develop a catalyst that can efficiently convert

Many advanced and proven solutions to replace fossil carbon in chemistry and materials already available

The unique “Renewable Materials Conference 2022”, 10-12 May in Cologne (Germany), attracted over 400 participants who came to see the latest developments in bio- and CO₂-based chemicals, plastics and other materials as well as advanced recycling technologies in search of non-fossil solutions. 60 speakers and 25 exhibitors from leading companies presented their innovative products and

Viele fortschrittliche und bewährte Lösungen zur Substitution fossilen Kohlenstoffs in Chemie und Materialien bereits verfügbar

Die einzigartige “Renewable Materials Conference 2022”, die vom 10. bis 12. Mai in Köln stattfand, zog über 400 Teilnehmer an, die sich dort über die neuesten Entwicklungen bei bio- und CO2-basierter Chemikalien, Kunststoffen und anderer Materialien sowie über Advanced Recyclingtechnologien informierten – auf der Suche nach nicht-fossilen Lösungen. 60 Sprecher und 25 Aussteller führender Unternehmen

Breakthrough for cows: NovoNutrients achieves “beef-quality” protein from CO2 instead of cattle

From California comes hard data on protein made from thin air, which is to say CO2 emissions. The good news, the quality is virtually identical to beef – it’s “beef-quality protein, without the cow,” the company states. NovoNutrients announced successful production of protein from carbon dioxide, with independent test data from Medallion Labs confirming that the

Rätsel um Katalyse zur grünen Produktion von Methanol aus Kohlendioxid gelöst

Einem internationalen Forschungsteam unter Leitung von Wissenschaftlern der Universität Stockholm ist es erstmals gelungen, die Oberfläche eines Kupfer-Zink-Katalysators bei der Reduktion von Kohlendioxid zu Methanol zu beobachten. Die Erkenntnisse, die an DESYs Forschungslichtquelle PETRA III erzielt wurden, hat die Gruppe jetzt in der Fachzeitschrift Science veröffentlicht. Eine bessere Kenntnis des katalytischen Prozesses der Methanolsynthese und die Möglichkeit, noch

Scientists solve the Mystery about the Active Phase in Catalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction

The results – obtained at DESY´s brilliant light source PETRA III – are published in the scientific journal Science. A better knowledge of the catalytic process of methanol synthesis and the possibility of finding even more efficient materials opens the door for a green transition in the chemical industry. Methanol is currently one of the

Wie eine Bodenmikrobe die künstliche Photosynthese ankurbeln könnte

Pflanzen sind für ihre Existenz auf einen Prozess angewiesen, der als Kohlenstofffixierung bezeichnet wird – die Umwandlung von Kohlendioxid aus der Luft in kohlenstoffreiche Biomoleküle. Das ist der Sinn der Photosynthese und ein Eckpfeiler des riesigen, ineinandergreifenden Systems, das den Kohlenstoffkreislauf durch Pflanzen, Tiere, Mikroben und die Atmosphäre aufrechterhält, um das Leben auf der Erde

Ed de Jong, Vice President Development at Avantium Technologies (NL), on the current development of the renewable carbon economy

Michael Carus: How has the environment for the Renewable Carbon Economy evolved during the Corona pandemic, climate change and GreenDeal and the Ukraine war? (in terms of demand and investment) Ed de Jong: In general not in a positive direction because: Cost of goods have risen (raw materials, equipment etc) Delivery times are much longer

Marilia Foukaraki, Projectleader R&D Bio-based at Cosun Beet (NL), on the current development of the renewable carbon economy

Michael Carus: How has the environment for the Renewable Carbon Economy evolved during the Corona pandemic, climate change and GreenDeal and the Ukraine war? (in terms of demand and investment) Marilia Foukaraki: Alarming climate change signals have demonstrated the need to act and in combination with the pandemic have mobilized consumers to switch to more

Francesco Montecchio, Application Engineer at Alfa Laval Technologies (Sweden), on the current development of the renewable carbon economy

Michael Carus: How has the environment for the Renewable Carbon Economy evolved during the Corona pandemic, climate change and GreenDeal, and the Ukraine war? (in terms of demand and investment) Francesco Montecchio: We see an increase in demand and investments in the recent years. Starting from the first EU circular economy action plan in 2015,
