Copper-silver-gold nanostructure gives carbon-capture and –utilization a boost

Chemists have developed a nano-scale structure that combines copper, gold and silver to work as a superior catalyst in a chemical reaction whose improved performance will be essential if carbon capture and utilization efforts are to succeed in helping to mitigate global warming. A study describing the process appeared in the journal Nano Research on

LanzaTech, ReCarbon, Woodside team up on carbon capture and utilization project in Australia

You heard Jennifer Holmgren as a keynote speaker last week at the ABLC in Washington, D.C., and we’ve covered LanzaTech’s going public news with their $2.2 billion SPAC merger, but just in is breaking news that they are collaborating in a new carbon capture and utilization project in Western Australia with ReCarbon and Woodside Energy. The Project

Woodside launches carbon capture and utilisation collaboration with ReCarbon and LanzaTech

Leading Australian energy producer Woodside and US-based technology developers ReCarbon and LanzaTech have launched a collaborative studies program aimed at converting carbon emissions into useful products. Together, Woodside, ReCarbon and LanzaTech are investigating the viability of a proposed Carbon Capture and Utilisation pilot facility in Perth, Western Australia. The proposed pilot facility would recycle greenhouse

CO2 Utilization for Cement: The Digest’s 2022 Multi-Slide Guide to Fortera

Today we take a look at CO2 Utilization with Ryan Gilliam, CEO of Fortera. Fortera created a process that economically converts CO2 into a cement ready for use anywhere Ordinary Portland Cement is used. Concrete ranks as the most used human-made material on the planet each year. However, its production, which includes cement, comes with a

New method could lead to cheaper, more efficient ways to capture carbon

University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new tool that could lead to more efficient and cheaper technologies for capturing heat-trapping gases from the atmosphere and converting them into beneficial substances, like fuel or building materials. Such carbon capture technology may be needed at scale in order to limit global warning this century to

Carbon capture: Early days of a $1 trillion industry?

Carbon capture can help both reduce the carbon footprint of certain industries and, uniquely, remove legacy carbon from the atmosphere; even the most ambitious emission-reduction scenarios maintain a share of fossil fuels usage, suggesting carbon capture solutions are needed to achieve full decarbonization. The business opportunity is significant considering the scalable nature of carbon removal

LanzaTech files for IPO in a SPAC deal

I’ve been covering LanzaTech’s story for (I think) almost a decade now and it is great to hear that LanzaTech’s carbon capture technology (CCT) is already being commercialised successfully in large-scale capacities. In order to proceed with several other projects in their portfolio and a burgeoning sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) company called LanzaJet, which was

LanzaTech NZ, Inc., a market-leading innovator in Carbon Capture & Transformation, to go public through business combination with AMCI Acquisition Corp. II

LanzaTech NZ, Inc. (“LanzaTech”), an innovative Carbon Capture and Transformation (“CCT”) company that transforms waste carbon into materials such as sustainable fuels, fabrics, packaging and other products that people use in their daily lives, and AMCI Acquisition Corp. II (“AMCI”) (Nasdaq: AMCI), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced that they have agreed to

Sustainable Aviation Fuels I – Policy Landscape

Transport currently accounts for 29% of worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and for as much as 20% of all global CO2 emissions. More specifically, aviation accounts for 11.6% of all transport CO2 emissions, amounting to 2.5% of worldwide CO2 emissions overall. Commercial air traffic has experienced a constant increase since the start of the 21st

Perstorp and Project Air renew EU application for major green chemistry investment

Sweden’s leading chemistry group Perstorp, and partner companies Fortum and Uniper, today submitted an EUR 97 million application to the EU Innovation Fund for Project Air. This unique project aims to build a production facility for sustainable methanol in Stenungsund, Sweden, which could reduce global CO2 emissions by 400,000 tonnes, equivalent to approximately 1% of
