A tax on fossil carbon is more effective for a carbon border adjustment mechanism than a tax on CO2 emissions

In light of increased efforts towards climate neutrality by 2050, the European Union (EU) is working on the implementation of a so-called carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), which would put a carbon price on imports of certain goods from outside the EU. In our most recent publication, nova-Paper #15 „A Tax on Fossil Carbon is

Japan to expand cross-sector use of synthetic methane

Japan is working on technology innovation to produce methane, seeking to expand the use of synthetic methane as the primary feedstock for domestic piped gas supplies and as a marine fuel. Premier Yoshihide Suga’s government yesterday drafted a revised “green growth strategy” aimed at meeting the country’s target to decarbonise by 2050. The strategy was

Efficiently “switching on” bacteria to produce high-value chemicals

High-value chemicals used in biofuels and pharmaceuticals can be made from bacteria by switching their chemistry to produce novel products. Researchers from the University of Warwick have found a way to drastically cut the cost of turning on these swit...

Covestro’s circular ambitions take shape

We should not be surprised when Covestro will be eventually a major recycler as well as a chemicals producer. Waste plastic, biomass and CO will become the new raw materials for the chemical industry. And “Dead Dog” CO2 will also be reanimated.A few ye...

Efficiently “switching on” bacteria to produce high-value chemicals

High-value chemicals used in biofuels and pharmaceuticals can be made from bacteria by switching their chemistry to produce novel products. Researchers from the University of Warwick have found a way to drastically cut the cost of turning on these switches. Most high-value chemicals are currently produced using fossil fuels – industrial chemistry’s use of petroleum

Minimise investment risks in renewable chemistry

There is currently a lot of interest in renewable and green chemistry, bio-based chemistry, CO2 Capture and Utilisation and chemical recycling. Refineries and verbund sites of large-scale chemicals are under considerable pressure; the biofuel industry is looking for new markets in chemistry and start-ups are looking for investors. The problem: there is hardly any data
