Umwandlung von Kohlendioxid in Biokraftstoffe durch Mikroalgen

Mikroalgen, Algen, die man mit bloßem Auge nicht sehen kann, absorbieren Kohlendioxid und produzieren Öle, die als Biokraftstoffe verwendet werden können. Diese Biokraftstoffe, die kohlenstoffnegativ sein können, sind eine vielversprechende Alternative zu herkömmlichen fossilen Kraftstoffen. Die biologischen Prozesse, die es diesen Mikroalgen ermöglichen, Öle zu produzieren, sind jedoch noch nicht vollständig verstanden. Nun hat ein

Scientists Explore a Genetic Sensor of Blue Light to Double Oil Productivity in Industrial Microalgae

Microalgae, algae that cannot be seen by the naked eye, absorb carbon dioxide and produce oils that can be used as biofuels. These biofuels, which can be carbon negative, offer promise as an alternative to conventional fossil fuels. However, the biological processes that allow these microalgae to produce oils are not fully understood. Now, a

Turning Carbon Dioxide into Sustainable Fuel: United and Oxy Low Carbon Ventures Announce Collaboration with Biotech Firm to Create New Fuel Sources

United Airlines Ventures (UAV) and Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV) today announced a collaboration with Houston-based biotech firm Cemvita Factory to commercialize the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) intended to be developed through a revolutionary new process using carbon dioxide (CO2) and synthetic microbes. UAV also announced an equity investment in Cemvita Factory. OLCV,

Artificial photosynthesis: the ultimate renewable tech

Plant photosynthesis consists of three steps. First, sunlight is harvested. Second, this sunlight is converted into electricity. Finally, this electricity is used to break down carbon dioxide into glucose. Over the last few decades, scientists have been reconstructing each stage to piece together a total artificial photosystem. This is the field of artificial photosynthesis, where

Clariant joins the Renewable Carbon Initiative

Clariant, a focused, sustainable and innovative specialty chemical company, announced that it has joined the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI). Joining the RCI demonstrates Clariant’s commitment to driving forward innovative sustainability practices, whereby promoting defossilization, circularity and a bio-based economy are top priorities. The aim of the RCI is to support and accelerate the transition from

Soap, proteins and highly complex molecules from CO2 – these are the winners of the “Best CO2 Utilisation 2022” innovation award

Finally, networking in person again: Participants used every minute of the conference to generate new or intensify existing contacts. After two long years of online-events, participants could finally enjoy the benefits of real in-person networking and got reminded how much better it is on site. The perfect spring weather did the rest. A total of

Carbon-Capture Startup Using Dirt Cheap Material Raises $53 Million

A California-based startup has found a way to use limestone — a cheap and widely available material — to remove carbon dioxide directly from the air, potentially overcoming a major hurdle in scaling up the technology needed to avoid catastrophic global warming. Heirloom Carbon Technologies Inc. said Thursday it raised $53 million from investors including

SHV Energy and LanzaTech announce partnership to pioneer renewable propane

The collaboration will further expand LanzaTech’s existing CCT technology and synthetic biology platform, which transform waste carbon into sustainable fuels and other materials such as fabrics, packaging, and other products. Using a variety of abundant waste feedstocks, LanzaTech’s technology platform highlights a future where consumers are not as dependent on virgin fossil feedstocks for so

Biowasserstoff: Quellen und Forschungsansätze

Grüner Wasserstoff gilt als zentrales Element der Energiewende. Bislang wird das Gas vor allem mittels Elektrolyse produziert, ein Prozess, der viel Strom verbraucht. Es gibt jedoch vielversprechende biobasierte Ansätze für die Wasserstoffgewinnung, in denen Algen und Bakterien eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dieses Dossier stellt aktuelle Forschungsansätze vor. Wasserstoff – zentrales Element der Energiewende Wasserstoff ist
