To reach climate targets, industries need to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon, resource efficient and circular economy. The chemical sector is one of the most challenging, but also a very promising one, in that context. At the forefront of waste reutilization, bio-based industries (BIs) have the potential to lead the way and create a
Carbon dioxide emissions, climate change, and fossil fuels – three well-known issues causing catastrophic environmental damage. In the past, fossil fuels were heavily relied upon, but supplies are diminishing rapidly. While new sources have replaced them, the damage caused by releasing huge amounts of harmful carbon dioxide over the last century has resulted in a
A carbon tax on the fuel used to heat Europe's buildings is the most effective price signal to decar...
The warming effect from contrails represents the largest contributor to the climate impact of air transport, having an even greater effect than carbon dioxide. Now, researchers at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), working together with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), have found that the climate impact

Klimaneutralität bis zum Jahr 2045 – das ist das neue Ziel der Bundesregierung. Dafür müssen die Emissionen in allen Sektoren der Wirtschaft und im Verkehr ebenso sinken wie die der Privathaushalte. Über die konkreten Maßnahmen wird spätestens nach der Bundestagswahl erbittert gestritten werden. Neben der Vermeidung von Treibhausgasen könne auch das aktive Entfernen von CO₂ aus der
The primary challenge post pandemic is to get rid of vaccination divide and a digital access divide, Mukesh Ambani said The world has no option but to do business in a sustainable manner, and Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) will transform each of its units as its strives to achieve net zero-carbon emissions by 2035, chairman

Kohlendioxid (CO2) hat als Treibhausgas einen schlechten Ruf. Der darin enthaltene Kohlenstoff ist jedoch zugleich die Basis für große Teile unserer Wirtschaft. Nachhaltige und innovative Wege der CO2-Nutzung könnten also das Klima entlasten und zugleich der Industrie nutzen. Genau das ist das Ziel der Fördermaßnahme „CO2 as a sustainable source of carbon – Pathways to industrial
A new start-up company is looking to enhance direct air capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) using train-loaded modules to help improve airflow and therefore capture of CO2. Their systems will be attached to trains already running in regular service. Co2Rail is using the significant amount of wasted energy produced in the dynamic braking system of freight
