Weshalb die Rolle der Biotechnologie in Europa unterschätzt wird

Wenn derzeit über die Souveränität Europas oder Deutschlands gesprochen wird, sind Corona-Impfstoffe, Quantencomputer, KI, Kreislaufwirtschaft, neue Materialien und Wasserstoff die Schlagworte. Allerdings sind die Corona-Impfstoffe eher zufällig in diese Diskussion geraten, weil wir von einer Pandemie überrollt wurden, die uns auf unser elementarstes Bedürfnis zurückgeführt hat: Überleben. Die Diskussionen um technologische Souveränität sind jedoch älter

Climate change widespread, rapid, and intensifying

Scientists are observing changes in the Earth’s climate in every region and across the whole climate system, according to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report, released today. Many of the changes observed in the climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, and some of the changes already

Life Cycle Analysis Indicates Favorable CO2 savings for Agilyx Chemical Recycling Technology

Agilyx Corporation (AGLX), a wholly owned subsidiary of Agilyx AS (Euronext Growth (Oslo): “AGLX”) and a pioneer in the chemical recycling of post-use plastics, announced today Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) results for its chemical recycling technology. Agilyx participated in the Styrenics Circular Solutions LCA, contributing data for its depolymerization technology. The SCS LCA focused on closed loop recycling

Der EU Green Deal ist ein Gamechanger für die Prozessindustrie, doch nur die wenigsten Unternehmen kennen die Spielregeln

Viele Unternehmen der Chemie-, Pharma-, Öl- und Gasindustrie sehen im Green Deal der Europäischen Union mehr Chancen als Risiken für die eigene zukünftige Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Allerdings sind nur einem Drittel der Unternehmen die genauen Ziele des Green Deals überhaupt bekannt und nicht wenige tappen hier noch im Dunkeln, wie das Stimmungsbarometer der Management- und Technologieberatung BearingPoint

Giving up on climate change? EU says no way – invests €118M in decarbonizing projects

The Olympics in Tokyo just ended and it is slated to be one of the hottest on record with extreme heat and humidity forcing changes to track, tennis and women’s soccer schedules. But there’s the problem. Talk of adapting sports calendars around climate change that make it harder for athletes to be, well, athletes, rather than talking

Scientists show a single catalyst can perform the first step of turning CO2 into fuel in two very different ways

Virtually all chemical and fuel production relies on catalysts, which accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Most of these reactions take place in huge reactor vessels and may require high temperatures and pressures. Scientists have been working on alternative ways to drive these reactions with electricity, rather than heat. This could potentially

NREL: Scientists to develop CO2-free fermentation technology

As much as one-third of the carbon in sugar is lost as carbon dioxide (CO2) during fermentation processes that use biomass to make renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) aim to solve both challenges after receiving a nearly $3 million award from the U.S. Department of

Covestro contributes to sustainability at major sporting event with innovative CO₂ technology

Another important application of CO2-based material cardyon® Sustaining efforts to advance circularity by replacing petroleum Covestro is using its cutting-edge carbon dioxide technology to contribute to a circular economy. For example, Covestro partnered with Australia-based Advanced Polymer Technology (APT) – a leading global manufacturer of polyurethane-based materials, acrylic coatings and artificial turf products – to develop the exclusive
