Making Plastic from Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Electricity

What if a machine could suck up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, run it through a series of chemical reactions, and essentially spit out industrially useful plastic? Reporting in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Agapie and a team of Caltech chemists have developed a system that uses electricity from sustainable sources to carry out the chemical

New sorption-enhanced methanation plant at Empa

On June 16, Empa inaugurated its novel methanation plant. The move-MEGA research project is the first to demonstrate so-called sorption-enhanced methanation at pilot scale – a technology developed at Empa that makes the power-to-gas process more flexible and robust. The produced synthetic methane can serve as a renewable energy carrier, replacing fossil natural gas. In

Neue sorptionsverstärkte Methanisierungsanlage an der Empa

Die Empa hat am 16. Juni eine neuartige Methanisierungsanlage in Betrieb genommen. Das Forschungsprojekt «move-MEGA» demonstriert erstmals im Pilotmassstab die sorptionsverstärkte Methanisierung, eine an der Empa entwickelte Technologie, die den “Power-to-Gas”-Prozess flexibler und robuster macht. Das erzeugte synthetische Methan kann als erneuerbarer Energieträger fossiles Erdgas ersetzen. Zusammen mit der Methan-Pyrolyse lässt sich daraus zudem CO2-negativer
