Grundlagen für Carbon Farming: Bundeslandwirtschaftsministerium fördert drei neue Zertifizierungsprojekte

Land- und Forstwirte können über die Anlage von Agroforstsystemen und Hecken, Humusaufbau, die Wiedervernässung von Moorböden oder Aufforstungen zusätzlichen Kohlenstoff in Böden und Vegetation speichern und so zum Klimaschutz beitragen. Dieser Ansatz wird als ‚Carbon Farming‘ bezeichnet. Wie er sich in der Praxis umsetzen lässt und welche Marktchancen sich damit verbinden, war Thema auf der

A major milestone on the road to the PYROCO2 demonstrator

After many months of collaboration, engineering and manufacturing, the construction of the first set of reactors developed by BPT with its partners Parcitank and Tecalsa in Spain has officially been completed. SINTEF, BPT and Parcitank were present for the final sign-off to start the transport from Spain to Norway by road and sea. This first

Bioforcetech Selected by Carbontech Development Intiative

Bioforcetech (BFT), the leading producer of biosolids-derived biochar in North America, today announced it has received a Bridge Carbontech grant from Columbia University’s Carbontech Development Initiative (CDI) to develop an industrial-scale dosing system for OurCarbon®, its carbon-negative concrete aggregate. The award, valued at $310,000, will fund design, prototyping, and production of a demonstration system that

Vacancy-Guided Dual Sites Boost Sunlight-Driven Conversion of CO2 into Ethylene

In the urgent quest to combat climate change, scientists are relentlessly searching for innovative ways to convert greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemical feedstocks. One of the most sought-after products in this arena is ethylene, a fundamental building block for plastics and other chemical industries. However, transforming CO2 into ethylene poses a

EMPA: EU project pursues electrochemical CO₂ conversion from industrial waste

Platform chemicals such as ethylene are most often made from fossil source materials and generate considerable CO₂ emissions. The EU-funded project REACT, in which Empa is one of the partners, aims to instead produce ethylene from industrial CO₂ waste, thus closing the carbon loop. The consortium is developing a functional electrolysis system for the conversion

EMPA: EU-Projekt will industrielle CO₂-Abfälle zu neuen Produkten umwandeln

Plattformchemikalien wie Ethylen werden meist aus fossilen Rohstoffen hergestellt und verursachen erhebliche CO₂-Emissionen. Das von der EU finanzierte Forschungsprojekt «REACT», an dem die Empa beteiligt ist, zielt darauf ab, Ethylen aus industriellen CO₂-Emissionen herzustellen und so den Kohlenstoffkreislauf zu schliessen. Für die Umwandlung von CO₂ in Ethylen will das Konsortium ein voll funktionsfähiges Elektrolysesystem entwickeln.

Air Liquide to invest over 200M USD to support chemical manufacturing expansion in Texas

The Air Liquide Group has reached a major milestone in its long-standing relationship with Oxea by expanding its production capabilities at Oxea’s site in Bay City, Texas in the United States. This strategic 200 million US dollar investment involves the construction of a new, high-efficiency Partial Oxidation (POX) unit, underscores Air Liquide’s technological leadership and

Hydrogenera and Stargate Hydrogen sign agreement for industrial hydrogen projects

Hydrogenera and Stargate Hydrogen have signed a framework cooperation agreement to advance future collaboration in industrial hydrogen projects across Europe. The agreement brings together two European hydrogen technology companies with complementary strengths. Hydrogenera contributes its expertise in alkaline electrolysis, electrolyser manufacturing, system engineering, integration, balance-of-plant design, and industrial project delivery. Stargate Hydrogen brings alkaline electrolyser

Algae Projects Utilizing Carbon Dioxide – Foster Photosynthesis And Carbon Sequestration

For the average citizen, Algae is often viewed as a problematic growth, sometimes found in backyard swimming pools and in-home fish tanks. These environments are constantly trying to eliminate and prevent algae formation. On the other hand, algae today in greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts and biofuel production via algae growth are significant; where algae

Avantium Spins Out Volta Technology into New Company Carbeau, Securing Significant Growth Funding

Avantium N.V., a pioneer in renewable and circular polymer materials, today announces the spin‑out of its electrochemical platform, previously known as Volta Technology, into a new, independent company named Carbeau, with retrospective effect from 1 April 2026. Carbeau is backed by a strong investor consortium comprising GKT, Invest‑NL, Al Baleed Petrochemical and NOM, alongside Avantium.
