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 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.

Avantium gliedert Volta Technology in das neue Unternehmen Carbeau aus

Avantium N.V. gibt die Ausgliederung seiner elektrochemischen Plattform, die zuvor unter dem Namen Volta Technology bekannt war, in ein neues, unabhängiges Unternehmen namens Carbeau mit rückwirkender Wirkung zum 1. April 2026 bekannt. Carbeau wird von einem starken Investorenkonsortium unterstützt, zu dem neben Avantium auch GKT, Invest-NL, Al Baleed Petrochemical und NOM gehören. Volta Technology ist

10 years of Carbon2Chem®, 10 years of research for a climate-friendly industry

Since 2016, industry and academia have been collaborating on the Carbon2Chem® project to explore how climate-damaging industrial emissions can be put to good use. The goal: to stop viewing carbon dioxide merely as an emission and instead treat it as a raw material for new products. As the project marks its 10th anniversary, this approach works

10 Jahre Carbon2Chem®, 10 Jahre Forschung für eine klimafreundliche Industrie

Seit 2016 erforschen Industrie und Wissenschaft im Verbundprojekt Carbon2Chem®, wie klimaschädliche Industrieabgase sinnvoll weiterverwendet werden können. Zielsetzung: Kohlendioxid nicht mehr nur als Emission zu betrachten, sondern als Rohstoff für neue Produkte. Zum 10-jährigen Jubiläum zeigt sich: Dieser Ansatz funktioniert – auch im industriellen Maßstab. Am 26. Juni 2016 fällt der offizielle Startschuss für Carbon2Chem®: Im
