The Case for Carbon Utilization

While many companies are developing ways to remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere and sequester them deep underground, other innovators are exploring ways to use carbon emissions, turning them into valuable fuels and chemicals. For decades, many ethanol producers have been selling their CO2 on the merchant market for uses such as freezing meat and

CO2-eating bacteria recycles carbon from chimney smoke directly into new products

Researchers from Aarhus University (AU) have developed a new technology that uses microorganisms to convert the CO2 in flue gas directly for new purposes – for example fuels or substances for the chemicals industry. The technology can exploit CO2 as a raw material, unlike conventional carbon capture and storage (CCS), which captures carbon from flue gas and

bp verkündet Investitionsentscheidung für Projekt „Lingen Green Hydrogen“

bp hat die endgültige Investitionsentscheidung (FID) für das Projekt „Lingen Green Hydrogen“ getroffen. Damit will das Unternehmen einen bedeutenden Meilenstein auf dem Weg zur Entwicklung von grünem Wasserstoff im industriellen Maßstab in Deutschland erreichen. Unterstützt durch eine Förderung im Rahmen des IPCEI-Programms (Important Projects of Common European Interest) könnte die im Rahmen des 100-MW-Projekts zu

Technip Energies and LanzaTech Awarded Funding from the U.S. Department of Energy for Commercializing Breakthrough CO2 to Ethylene Technology

Technip Energies (PARIS:TE) and LanzaTech Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNZA) (“LanzaTech”) announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) has committed up to $200 million in federal funding and authorized the initiation of Phase 1 of their Sustainable Ethylene from CO2 Utilization with Renewable Energy Project (Project SECURE). Project SECURE, led

Wie die deutsche Industrie bis 2045 zukunftsfähig werden kann

Die deutsche Wirtschaft steckt in einer Krise, gleichzeitig verschärft sich die globale Klimakrise. Damit sich die deutsche Industrie zukunftsfähig aufstellen kann, muss ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit gestärkt werden. Dies geht einher mit der Chance, international eine Vorreiterstellung im Bereich der klimaneutralen Zukunftstechnologien einzunehmen. Dafür haben das Wuppertal Institut und die Universität Kassel im Rahmen der Agora-Studie „Klimaneutrales

Carbon Dioxide to 3D Printed Carbon Nanocomposites: A Sustainable Innovation

A recent study published in Nature Communications introduced a new method that combines the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) with the production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). These nanotubes are then used to create advanced 3D-printed carbon nanocomposites. The research highlights how this process could help reduce CO2 emissions while also producing high-performance materials with a wide range

eChemicles announces its strategic collaboration with Bosch Thin Metal Technologies on scaling-up CO2 electrolyser stack production

eChemicles, pioneering in CO2 electrolysis, is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with Bosch Thin Metal Technologies to accelerate the commercialization of a novel carbon dioxide utilization (CCU) technology. The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (i.e., its conversion to more reduced chemical species using electrical energy) is a promising waste-to-wealth approach, generating high-value, green chemicals which

Transforming CO₂ into Opportunities: The CO₂-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2025

The CO₂-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2025 has established itself as a pivotal event for industry professionals dedicated to advancing Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X technologies. Scheduled for 29-30 April 2025 in Cologne, Germany, and online, this conference serves as a vital platform for sharing insights, fostering collaboration, and exploring the latest developments in the

Das Potenzial von CO₂ nutzen: Die CO₂-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2025

Die CO2-Based Fuels and Chemicals Conference hat sich als zentrale Veranstaltung für Branchenexperten etabliert, die sich der Weiterentwicklung von Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) und Power-to-X-Technologien widmen. Die Konferenz, die am 29. und 30. April 2025 in Köln und online stattfindet, dient als wichtige Plattform für den Wissensaustausch und bietet einen Überblick der neuesten Entwicklungen rund um das

Wood-based carbon capture is a major opportunity for Finland – and the climate

The carbon dioxide generated by pulp mills is a valuable, largely untapped side stream that could be captured and used as a raw material for products replacing fossil-based materials and fuels as the technology and markets develop. “Carbon capture offers Finland a major opportunity to build a new industry – and to undertake significant climate
