Fossil fuel industry gets subsidies of $11m a minute, IMF finds

The fossil fuel industry benefits from subsidies of $11m every minute, according to analysis by the International Monetary Fund. The IMF found the production and burning of coal, oil and gas was subsidised by $5.9tn in 2020, with not a single country pricing all its fuels sufficiently to reflect their full supply and environmental costs.

Kohlendioxid als alternativer Rohstoff für die Autoindustrie

Neben Matratzen, Sportböden und Textilfasern hat Covestro einen weiteren Anwendungsbereich für die Nutzung von CO2 in der Kunststoffproduktion erschlossen: Jetzt können auch Schaumstoffe für die Automobilindustrie zum Teil mit Kohlendioxid anstelle von fossilen Rohstoffen wie Erdöl hergestellt werden. Dazu wird das innovative Vorprodukt cardyon® eingesetzt, mit dem das Schweizer Unternehmen FoamPartner Schäume für verschiedene Bereiche im Fahrzeuginnenraum produziert.

The Green Brief: Fossil fuel subsidies are back (and they’re here to stay)

All EU governments more or less agree that the long-term response to surging energy prices is to accelerate the transition to renewable power and promote energy savings through schemes like building renovation programmes. Yet when faced with the current global surge in energy prices, they have – understandably – resorted to short-termism with tried and

EXCLUSIVE: Could biogas solve the UK’s CO2 supply issues?

Creating a network of CO2 supply sources from biogas plants could be the answer to preventing future shortages, according to UK-based BioCarbonics. Established in June 2018, BioCarbonics works with AD operators/biogas producers to help them recover and monetise their waste CO2, providing a dedicated channel to market for biogenic ‘green’ CO2 from renewable energy sources. Earlier this

Simple method for converting carbon dioxide into useful compounds

Researchers in Japan have found an energy-efficient way to convert the chief greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals. Using the method, CO2 is transformed into structures called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), suggesting a new and simpler route to dispose of the greenhouse gas to help tackle global warming. The research was carried out by scientists
