Infinium and Navigator CO2 Collaborate on eFuels Project in US Midwest


Electrofuels provider Infinium and comprehensive carbon management company Navigator CO2 (“Navigator”) announced today that they have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and long-term relationship for Navigator to deliver 600,000 tons per annum (TPA) of biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from its Heartland Greenway system to a future Infinium facility for the production of electrofuels, also

With formic acid towards CO2 neutrality


New synthetic metabolic pathways for CO2 fixation could not only help to reduce the CO2 content of the atmosphere, but also replace conventional chemical manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals and active ingredients with carbon-neutral, biological processes. A new study demonstrates a process that can turn CO2 into a valuable material for the (bio)chemical industry via formic acid. In view

Mit Ameisensäure zur CO2-Neutralität


Neue, synthetische Stoffwechselwege zur CO2-Fixierung könnten zukünftig nicht nur dazu beitragen, den CO2-Gehalt der Atmosphäre zu senken, sondern auch traditionelle Herstellungsverfahren für Pharmazeutika und Wirkstoffe durch kohlenstoffneutrale, biologische Prozesse ersetzen. Eine neue Studie zeigt auf, wie CO2 über das Zwischenprodukt Ameisensäure zu einem industriellen Wertstoff werden kann. Angesichts steigender Treibhausgasemissionen ist Carbon Capture, die Abscheidung von CO₂

bioplastics MAGAZINE on the Plastic. Climate. Future. podcast


The podcast tries to foster the exchange of ideas and promote open good faith communication of two seemingly polar opposite groups – climate activists and members of the plastics industries. Combining these two sides is not an easy feat, the executive of a big company rarely meets up with a climate activist for a nice cup

2. Innovationswettbewerb für klimaneutrale Produktion ausgeschrieben


Damit sollen Unternehmen im Land unterstützt werden, die digitale Transformation im Unternehmen mit einer Steigerung der Ressourceneffizienz zu verbinden. Im Vergleich zum ersten Förderaufruf im Jahr 2022 haben sich wichtige Erweiterungen ergeben: Der Themenbereich Wasserstoff wird miteinbezogen, so dass die Substitution fossiler Energieträger beschleunigt werden und dieser erneuerbare Energieträger stärker in die Produktion einfließen kann.

Carbon-negative hydrogen production technology: a new perspective for bio-energy with CO₂ capture and storage


The International Energy Agency predicts that 115 million tons of hydrogen will be required in 2030 to make global carbon dioxide net emissions zero by 2050. This makes green hydrogen a promising avenue to a carbon-free society. By making use of biomass for hydrogen production we can reduce carbon emissions created by fossil fuels, thus

Technologie zur Herstellung von kohlenstoffnegativem Wasserstoff


Wasserstoff, der als die “ultimative Energie” für das 21. Jahrhundert gilt, bietet Vorteile wie Sauberkeit, Erneuerbarkeit, Lagerfähigkeit und Vielseitigkeit. Die Internationale Energieagentur geht davon aus, dass im Jahr 2030 115 Millionen Tonnen Wasserstoff benötigt werden, um die weltweiten Kohlendioxid-Nettoemissionen bis 2050 auf Null zu bringen. Dies macht grünen Wasserstoff zu einem vielversprechenden Weg zu einer

Bio-based content, compostable plastics, and chemical recycling – many opportunities for more innovation and sustainability in the new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)


In November 2022, the Commission adopted the Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on packaging and packaging waste, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and Directive (EU) 2019/904, and repealing Directive 94/62/EC. The proposed regulation includes several rules that would – if implemented – push for a much stronger circular economy
