Finland’s largest Power-to-Gas plant – Wärtsilä and Vantaa Energy to continue planning towards an investment decision

The technology group Wärtsilä and Finnish utility, Vantaa Energy Ltd, have signed a co-operation agreement for pre-engineering and development of a Power-to-Gas (P2G) plant for Vantaa Energy. The plant planned to be commissioned in 2025 would be the largest in Finland and also the first to produce carbon-neutral, synthetic methane on a commercial scale with

LanzaTech and lululemon partner to create the first fabric using recycled carbon emissions

From Waste to Wealth: Converting CO2 into Butanol Using Phosphorous-Rich Copper Cathodes, finds a new GIST Study

Researchers today are looking for ways to convert CO2, which is rapidly accumulating in the atmosphere, into other valuable organic products. Now, scientists from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea have proposed a reaction for the highly selective production of 1-butanol, a valuable alternative fuel, by electrochemical reduction using copper phosphide

Europe could save €2 trillion by 2050 with low-carbon hydrogen, says report

The role of hydrogen in making Europe climate neutral was the central theme of an event on Wednesday (7 July), which presented the findings of the Hydrogen4EU report, a multi-disciplinary research partnership funder by the oil and gas industry. The findings of the report were clear: although green hydrogen made from renewable electricity sources will

Twelve, Formerly Opus 12, Secures $57 Million in Series A Funding Led by Capricorn and Carbon Direct

Carbon transformation startup Twelve has raised $57 million in Series A funding from lead investors Capricorn Technology Impact Fund and Carbon Direct Capital Management. Seed round lead DCVC, as well as Munich Re Ventures, Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund, Breakout Ventures, and Evok Innovations also participated in the round. “We’re compelled by the opportunity to eliminate rather than offset carbon emissions, and Twelve has the

Holy Grail: Startup entwickelt Mini-Carbon Capture Anlage für den eigenen Garten

Dieser Ansatz ist neu: Bisherige Projekte zur Carbon Capture Technologie sind zumeist direkt im großen Maßstab gedacht. Das macht auch Sinn, immerhin müssen die ausgestoßenen Treibhausgasemissionen so schnell wie möglich in Vielzahl reduziert werden. Bei der Direct Air Capture-Technologie soll das Kohlenstoff direkt aus der Luft „gefangen“ werden. Bisher ist das aber kaum rentabel, braucht viel Energie

These ‘supertrees’ are engineered to capture more carbon

Part of the climate challenge isn’t just the transition to things like renewable energy and electric cars—it’s also about dealing with the oversupply of CO2 that’s already in the Earth’s atmosphere. By the middle of the century, by one estimate, the world may need to be pulling 10 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

TotalEnergies and Veolia Join Forces to Develop CO2-based Microalgae Cultivation to Produce Next-generation Biofuels

TotalEnergies and Veolia have joined forces to accelerate the development of microalgae cultivation using CO2. The two partners will pool their know-how to develop a four-year research project at the La Mède biorefinery, operated by TotalEnergies, with the long-term goal of producing biofuel. Through photosynthesis, microalgae use sunlight and CO2 from the atmosphere or from

EU biofuels goals seen behind deforested area as big as the Netherlands

European Union targets to boost biofuel use are likely to have led to the deforestation of an area r...
