GCI Calls for Urgent Action on Carbon Capture and Utilization as the World Watches COP26

Between October 31 and November 12, 2021, delegates from nearly 200 countries will gather in Glasgow, Scotland for the COP26 climate summit, described by some as a make-or-break chance to curb greenhouse gas emissions and stave off the worst ravages of climate change. As the world watches the progress of COP26, Global CO2 Initiative calls

Neue Forschungserkenntnisse: Wälder treiben Klimawandel an

Touristenzentren, Industriegebiete, Autobahnen – man denkt eher an solche Orte, wenn es darum geht, wo viele Treibhausgase in die Atmosphäre gelangen. Wälder standen bislang nicht im Verdacht, eine negative CO2-Bilanz hervorzubringen, vielmehr galten sie als wichtige CO2-Senken. Doch nun haben Forscher*innen der Unesco, des World Resources Institute (WRI) und der International Union for Conservation of

CEMEX and Carbon Clean work on carbon capture project in Germany

The initial stage of this project aims to capture 100 tonnes per day of CO2 at the plant and combine this with hydrogen from renewable sources to produce greener synthetic hydrocarbons that can be used in other industries. Then, the aim will be to increase the CO2 capture by an additional 300 tonnes per day,

Klimapioniere Jan Wurzbacher und Christoph Gebald: Die CO₂-Sauger

Alles begann in den Laboren der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule Zürich. Dort entwickelten die Studienfreunde Jan Wurzbacher und Christoph Gebald den ersten Prototyp ihrer Erfindung. Das Gerät war damals kleiner als die Maus des Computers, mit dem sie es steuerten. Aber es versprach Großes: Die Maschine, die die beiden Deutschen bauen wollten, sollte das klimaschädliche Gas

World faces disastrous 2.7C temperature rise on current climate plans, UN warns

The world is squandering the opportunity to “build back better” from the COVID-19 pandemic, and faces disastrous temperature rises of at least 2.7°C if countries fail to strengthen their climate pledges, according to a report from the UN, published on Tuesday (26 October). Tuesday’s publication warns that countries’ current pledges would reduce carbon by only

MHI Invests in Cemvita Factory, Inc., a Leading Industrial Biotechnology Startup, to Accelerate Decarbonization Efforts

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group today announced that it has invested in Cemvita Factory, Inc. (Cemvita), a Houston-based startup that utilizes innovative synthetic biology to decarbonize heavy industries such as chemical manufacturing, mining, and oil and gas. By investing in Cemvita’s business expansion, MHI continues to deliver on its strategy to identify and accelerate decarbonization

Making Martian Rocket BioFuel on Mars

The bioproduction process would use three resources native to the red planet: carbon dioxide, sunlight, and frozen water. It would also include transporting two microbes to Mars. The first would be cyanobacteria (algae), which would take CO2 from the Martian atmosphere and use sunlight to create sugars. An engineered E. coli, which would be shipped

Atmosfair: Eröffnung E-Kerosin Anlage im Video

Es ist die erste Anlage weltweit, die industriell E-Kerosin produziert. Aus erneuerbarem, zusätzlichen Strom, Wasser und CO₂, das wir aus der Luft ziehen. Damit ist das Kerosin CO₂-neutral und hat keine weiteren negativen Umwelteffekte. Das Gütesiegel dafür haben wir gleich mitentwickelt, atmosfair fairfuel. Wir bleiben dabei unseren Klimaschutzleitsätzen treu: Vermeiden vor Reduzieren vor Kompensieren. Beim

Elkem to test the world’s first carbon capture pilot for smelters

In Norway, Elkem, a global leader in silicon-based advanced materials, will test the world’s first c...

Reducing CO2 using a Panchromatic Osmium Complex Photosensitizer

Using photocatalysts to reduce CO2 has received a lot of attention recently. Scientists from Tokyo Tech have developed a new osmium complex that can absorb a full wavelength range of visible light and act as a panchromatic redox photosensitizer for CO2 reduction. The team combined this complex with a ruthenium (II) catalyst and successfully reduced CO2 into formic
