Tenaris, Saipem and SIAD sign a MoU for the study of a carbon capture and utilization project in Dalmine, Italy


Tenaris, Saipem and SIAD have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to start the design phase of a carbon dioxide capture and utilization (CCU) plant, to be built at the Tenaris plant in Dalmine, northern Italy. The project covers the capture of 30 tons of CO2 per day produced by the thermoelectric power plant installed

Mechanische Wälder in Arizona sollen das Klimagas CO2 aus der Atmosphäre saugen


Die künstlichen “Bäume” sind tausendmal so effizient darin, CO2 zu binden, wie ihre organischen Verbände. Sie sollen das CO2 aber nicht nur speichern, sondern Teil eines CO2-Kreislaufsystems werden. Wie kann man den Klimawandel bekämpfen? Weniger fossile Brennstoffe zu verbrauchten, ist eine Methode. Besser ist es aber, das Klimagas wieder aus der Atmosphäre zu entnehmen. Heute

Stackable artificial leaf uses less power than lightbulb to capture 100 times more carbon than other systems


Engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago have built a cost-effective artificial leaf that can capture carbon dioxide at rates 100 times better than current systems. Unlike other carbon capture systems, which work in labs with pure carbon dioxide from pressurized tanks, this artificial leaf works in the real world. It captures carbon dioxide from

Circular carbon dioxide seeks balance


Although the storage and recirculation of CO2 are often mentioned in the same breath, they are two very different sports. Both options are necessary to reduce CO2 emissions and to ensure a smooth energy and raw material transition. According to Earl Goetheer of TNO and Peter Moser of RWE, added value and energy consumption have

Decarbonisation tech instantly converts CO2 to solid carbon


The carbon dioxide utilisation technology from RMIT researchers is designed to be smoothly integrated into existing industrial processes. Decarbonisation is an immense technical challenge for heavy industries like cement and steel, which are not only energy-intensive but also directly emit CO2 as part of the production process. The new technology offers a pathway for instantly
