Rubi Raises $7.5M and Secures Over $60M in Offtake Term Sheets, Advancing Commercialization of Its Breakthrough CO2-to-Materials Platform

Rubi, the company pioneering the next era of manufacturing with technology that transforms carbon into essential materials, today announces a $7.5 million funding round and significant commercial traction, including multi-year offtake term sheets worth over $60M with leading fashion brands and manufacturers, eight new commercial partnerships, and moving pilots into larger-scale production testing. Fresh Funding

Atomic ratio tuning in catalysts controls carbon nanofiber production from CO2

Most efforts to recycle CO₂ turn it into fuels or chemicals that release carbon back into the atmosphere within months. A more permanent solution would convert it into a solid material that locks carbon away for decades. Carbon nanofibers are one such material. These nanoscale carbon structures already find use as concrete additives, battery components, and textile sensors, applications where

Europe’s fuel security takes center stage: INERATEC and Rheinmetall convene European leaders on fuel security

Cleantech pioneer INERATEC has unveiled Lifeline, a new product range of plants designed to produce synthetic fuels (e-Fuels) for critical infrastructure and defence applications. The unveiling took place yesterday at a high-level event co-hosted with Rheinmetall at INERATEC’s operational ERA ONE plant and was attended by representatives of the EU Commission’s DG Move, NATO, Members

Europas Kraftstoffsicherheit im Fokus: INERATEC und Rheinmetall diskutieren resiliente Energieversorgung mit europäischen Entscheidungsträgern

Das Cleantech-Unternehmen INERATEC hat mit „Lifeline“ eine neue Produktreihe modularer Anlagen zur Herstellung synthetischer Kraftstoffe (e-Fuels) für kritische Infrastruktur und Verteidigungsanwendungen vorgestellt. Präsentiert wurde die Lösung gestern im Rahmen einer hochrangig besetzten Veranstaltung, die INERATEC gemeinsam mit Rheinmetall an der Produktionsanlage ERA ONE in Frankfurt-Höchst ausrichtete. Unter den Teilnehmer*innen waren Vertreter*innen der Generaldirektion Mobilität und

Cool Planet Technologies demonstrates carbon capture efficiency with real-time carbon monitoring

The Climate Crisis is forcing countries and businesses around the world to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Ultimately, this will rely on decarbonisation and a move away from fossil fuels. However, there are a number of industries for which GHG reductions will be hard to achieve. These include process emissions in the cement,

Commission approves €400 million Greek State aid scheme to support cleantech manufacturing capacity, contributing to Clean Industrial Deal objectives

The European Commission has approved a €400 million Greek State aid scheme to support strategic investments that add clean technology (cleantech) manufacturing capacity in line with the objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal. This measure will contribute to the transition towards a net-zero economy. The scheme was approved under the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF) adopted

Kommission genehmigt mit 400 Mio. EUR ausgestattete griechische Beihilferegelung zur Förderung von Fertigungskapazitäten für saubere Technologien als Beitrag zu den Zielen des Deals für eine saubere Industrie

Die Europäische Kommission hat eine mit 400 Mio. EUR ausgestattete griechische Beihilferegelung genehmigt, mit der gemäß den Zielen des Deals für eine saubere Industrie strategische Investitionen zur Erhöhung der Fertigungskapazitäten für saubere Technologien gefördert werden sollen. Die Regelung wird zum Übergang zu einer klimaneutralen Wirtschaft beitragen. Sie wurde auf der Grundlage des von der Kommission am 25. Juni 2025 angenommenen Rahmens für

Using individual atoms to achieve fossil-free chemistry

Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: for substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In many cases, this energy barrier is low – such as when striking a match. For many key reactions in industry, however, it is much larger – and increased energy requirements drive up production costs.
