Your last chance to submit your research, technology or advancements for the CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2027, taking place on 21–22 April 2027 in Cologne, Germany. This hybrid event consistently attracts over 200 international experts from industry, research, and policy, making it a unique meeting place for advancing Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X

Letzte Chance Beiträge einzureichen: CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2027

Letzte Chance für Innovatoren, Technologieanbieter und Forschende ihr Beiträge zur CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2027 einzureichen. Am 21. und 22. April 2027 treffen sich erneut Expertinnen, Experten und Interessierte der internationalen CCU- und Power-to-X-Branche in Köln und online, um über Entwicklungen im Bereich der CO2-Abscheidung und -nutzung zu diskutieren. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Entwicklungen und neuartige Wege,

Kunststoffe im Wandel – Transformation unter Druck

Die Umstellung auf nachhaltige Kunststoffe ist eine existenzielle Frage der industriellen Resilienz und Versorgungssicherheit Europas. So könnte das Fazit der „Renewable Materials Conference 2026“ lauten. Der „vierfache Schock“ erschüttert die Branche Lars Börger, CEO vom nova-Institut, eröffnete die Konferenz mit einer prägnanten Diagnose, einem „vierfachen Schock“. Erstens stehen globale Lieferketten unter Dauerstress. Zweitens erzwingt die

Understanding the Production Process of Methanol: Routes, Inputs, and the Shift to Green Methanol

Methanol (CH3OH) is one of the most widely traded base chemicals. It feeds value chains for formaldehyde, acetic acid, MTBE, olefins increasingly, marine fuel. Global demand is about 100 million tonnes a year, according to the Methanol Institute, and formaldehyde methanol-to-olefins (MTO) each account for roughly a quarter of consumption. Methanol’s cost, carbon footprint and

Copper d-orbital regulation enables direct coupling of CO2 with NO2 for selective urea electrosynthesis

Researchers from Nanchang Hangkong University, Beihang University, Guangzhou University and South China Normal University have developed a catalyst that uses isolated copper atoms on titanium carbide to help turn carbon dioxide and nitrate into urea. By adjusting how electrons occupy the copper atoms’ orbitals, the team promoted a reaction pathway in which an activated carbon

Save the date: Renewable Materials Conference 2027

Once again, this year’s conference was the central meeting point for the growing renewable carbon economy: Large enterprises, SMEs, start-ups, investors, and policymakers. A total of 365 participants from 26 countries joined the world’s largest “Defossilisation Summit”, discussing how fossil carbon in the chemical and related industries can be gradually replaced by renewable carbon from

Stargate Hydrogen selected to continue the Legacy of the HySTAT Alkaline Electrolysers

Stargate Hydrogen today announced the signing of an agreement with Cummins Inc (NYSE: CMI) to become the approved aftermarket vendor for the legacy HySTAT alkaline electrolysers stack business. Stargate Hydrogen will manufacture and supply replacement stacks and related services for more than 400 installed systems, representing more than 1,000 stacks across 65 countries. The agreement marks a

Warmer CO2 Electrolyzers Turn Waste Heat Into a Chemical Industry Win

Turning carbon dioxide into useful chemicals with clean electricity has long been one of the most tantalizing promises of the energy transition. Now a team of researchers from ETH Zurich, the University of Toronto and Northwestern University argues that the missing ingredient may be something as mundane as heat. In a study published in Nature

Moeve and ENSO join forces to accelerate industrial decarbonization using biomass and renewable gases

Moeve and ENSO, a group specializing in the development of biomass-based renewable energy solutions, have reached an agreement to advance industrial decarbonization by developing energy alternatives that will enable the gradual replacement of fossil fuels. Together, they will offer alternatives for energy-intensive industrial processes in sectors such as chemicals, paper and board, and food

CO2 availability shapes acetate and ethanol production in Clostridium aceticum: a transcriptomics-guided study

Scientists have long dreamed of turning industrial waste gases into useful fuels and chemicals, and a humble soil bacterium called Clostridium aceticum may hold part of the answer. In a new study published in Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, researchers systematically investigated how varying concentrations of carbon dioxide shape the fermentation behavior of this remarkable microorganism, which naturally
