Political Tailwind for Alternative Carbon Sources

The political situation for renewable carbon from biomass, CO2 and recycling for the defossilisation of the chemical and materials industry has begun to shift fundamentally in Europe. For the first time, important policy papers from Brussels and Germany take into consideration that the term decarbonisation alone is not sufficient, and that there are important industrial

Advances in converting CO2 into polymers

The chemical industry’s demand for carbon continues to grow, and so does the need to lower its dependency on fossil fuels. This, coupled with the goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, has accelerated feedstock innovations. Along with new generations of bio-based feedstocks and advanced recycled raw materials, the industry is actively exploring carbon capture

Inside is a stack of metal plates that resemble a club sandwich – only the filling is a black polymer membrane coated with proprietary metal catalyst. “We call the membrane the

Policy critical to unlock Carbon Capture and Utilisation in Europe

In order to tap the great potential held by carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, the industry must learn to successfully navigate Europe’s complex regulatory context. So said Célia Sapart, Director Communications and Climate Science – CO2 Value Europe, at in an Enlit Europe session that provided practical insights into how CCU
