Breakthrough in converting CO2 into fuel using solar energy

The breakthrough could be an important piece of the puzzle in reducing the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in the future. The study is published in Nature Communications. The sunlight that hits Earth during one hour corresponds roughly to humanity’s total energy consumption for an entire year. Our global carbon dioxide emissions are

Stellenausschreibung: Projektmanager im Bereich Bioökonomie bzw. „Renewable Carbon Economy“ – Ökonomie, Politik, Strategie (m/w/d)

Über uns Wir sind ein langfristig erfolgreiches, breit aufgestelltes und unabhängig agierendes mittelständisches Forschungsinstitut mit dem Schwerpunkt „Renewable Carbon Economy“, die sich aus bio- und CO2-basierter Ökonomie sowie Recycling zusammensetzt. Seit über 20 Jahren sind wir erfolgreich aktiv in internationalen Forschungsprojekten, in der Unternehmensberatung und in der Organisation von Fachveranstaltungen und Konferenzen. Eine offene und

Carbon-negative platform turns waste gases into valuable chemicals

A team of scientists from LanzaTech, Northwestern University and the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed carbon capture technology that harnesses emissions from industrial processes to produce acetone and isopropanol, known as IPA. These widely used chemicals serve as the basis of thousands of products, from fuels and solvents to acrylic glass

Our first chapter: raising $4.5M to bring planet-positive textiles to the fashion industry

Our prosperity as a species — reliable food production, clean water, abundant energy, etc. — has always been inextricably linked to the devastation of Earth. The industries we’ve created to drive human prosperity and economic growth are inherently flawed; by design, they are inseparable from their insatiable consumption of resources and destruction of global commons

Light-Blasting Bananas Could Prove to Be Renewable

Scientists have discovered an innovative source for renewable energy, this time by blasting banana peels with a powerful lamp. This new method of extracting hydrogen could be a significant way of boosting supplies of the gas from biomass. This could also be applied to other food waste, such as corn cobs, coffee beans and coconut

Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals

The Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals in Cologne, Germany at 23-24 March 2022 (www.co2-chemistry.eu), is one of the most established worldwide and has developed into a unique meeting and networking place for the entire Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The first day will focus on green hydrogen production,

Bacteria upcycle carbon waste into valuable chemicals

Bacteria are known for breaking down lactose to make yogurt and sugar to make beer. Now researchers led by Northwestern University and LanzaTech have harnessed bacteria to break down waste carbon dioxide (CO2) to make valuable industrial chemicals. In a new pilot study, the researchers selected, engineered and optimized a bacteria strain and then successfully

Klimafreundliches Verfahren: Bakterien bilden Chemikalien aus CO2

Azeton und Isopropanol sind wichtige Grundstoffe für viele Produkte. Bisher fallen bei der Herstellung der Chemikalien schädliche Abgase an. Ein Forscherteam entdeckt nun eine klimafreundliche Alternative, bei der gentechnisch veränderte Bakterien zum Einsatz kommen. Ein neues biotechnologisches Verfahren bietet eine klimafreundliche Alternative zur Herstellung der Chemikalien Azeton und Isopropanol. Eine Forschergruppe produziert die Substanzen mithilfe

Veterans Delta CleanTech on carbon capture: ‘Utilization is the key’

Before the Carbon X Prize, Alberta Carbon Trunk Line, the federal government’s plans to have a carbon capture tax credit, and long before carbon capture utilization and storage was a hot emerging industry, Alberta-based Delta CleanTech was trying to position itself for the future. “In the early years there was a good solid community of

Stefan Schlüter und Tim Schulzke über nachhaltige Methanolproduktion

Zurzeit läuft die zweite Phase des Verbundprojekts Carbon2Chem®, in der u.a. die großtechnische Umsetzung einer nachhaltigen Methanolproduktion auf Basis von Hüttengasen validiert werden soll. Was sind die nächsten Schritte? Welche Bedeutung hat das Thema Simulation für den realen Anlagenbetrieb? Tim Schulzke und Stefan Schlüter im Interview. Geben Sie uns doch bitte zunächst einen kurzen Überblick:
