CO₂ Infrastructure as a Key Enabler for Carbon Capture Utilisation (CCU) and Decarbonisation – The Example of Chemiepark Knapsack in Hürth (Germany)

The utilisation of CO₂, also known as Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU), is increasingly becoming a key element of Europe’s transformation strategy towards a defossilised and circular economy. In combination with Power-to-X technologies, CCU enables the production of synthetic fuels, chemicals, and material feedstocks based on captured CO₂. These approaches transform CO₂ emissions into a

CO₂-Infrastruktur als Schlüssel zur CO₂-Valorisierung und Dekarbonisierung am Beispiel des Chemiepark Knapsack

Die stoffliche Nutzung von CO₂ – bekannt als Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) – entwickelt sich zunehmend zu einem Schlüsselaspekt der europäischen Transformationsstrategie hin zu einer defossilisierten, kreislauffähigen Industrie. Gemeinsam mit Technologien aus dem Bereich Power‑to‑X, ermöglicht CCU die Herstellung von synthetischen Kraftstoffen, Chemikalien und materiellen Grundstoffen auf der Basis von abgeschiedenen CO₂. Diese wandeln CO2 aus

Novonesis & DTU to Convert Carbon Into Protein As Part of Bill Gates-Backed Project

Novonesis has partnered with the Technical University of Denmark’s Bright hub to transform waste CO2 into sustainable protein as part of the Acetate Consortium backed by the Gates and Novo Nordisk Foundations. As gas protein gains steam, one of the world’s largest biosolutions companies is embarking on a new fermentation project to produce carbon-derived proteins

Neutralizing CO2 at a Grand Scale

Alkaline industrial wastewaters from steel or cement production are ideally suited to bind and sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) chemically, safely, and for the long term. This is the result of a study conducted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. Until now, this wastewater has been disposed off into rivers without using its CO2-sequestration capacity. In the future,

CO2 im großen Stil neutralisieren

Industrieabwässer aus der Stahl- oder Zementproduktion sind bestens geeignet, um Kohlendioxid langfristig und sicher chemisch zu binden. Das ist das Ergebnis einer Studie, die das Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon durchgeführt hat. Bislang werden die Abwässer ungenutzt in Flüsse eingeleitet. Künftig könnten sie Millionen Tonnen von CO2 neutralisieren – eine interessante und anwendbare Option zur Minderung des Klimawandels. Die

Titan Clean Fuels and TURN2X agree e-Methane supply deal

Titan Clean Fuels has signed an off-take agreement with green energy supplier TURN2X to deliver e-Methane to the maritime industry from 2028 onwards. Titan operates seven bunker vessels and is able to deliver in around 52 ports today, so the new e-Methane agreement can help to significantly scale up green fuel supply. TURN2X’s modular and

ClimeFi structures the first publicly announced transaction for CRCF carbon removal units

ClimeFi, the leading portfolio manager for durable carbon removals, today shared that it has structured the first publicly announced transaction for carbon removal units aligned with the EU CRCF framework. This marks a significant milestone in operationalising the EU’s carbon removal certification framework and establishing commercial infrastructure for durable carbon removals in Europe. It builds

Stockholm Exergi baut eine der weltgrößten Anlagen zur Entfernung von Kohlendioxid aus der Atmosphäre

Stockholm Exergi gibt heute seine Entscheidung zum Bau einer der weltweit größten Anlagen zur Abscheidung und dauerhaften Speicherung von biogenem Kohlendioxid bekannt. Die Investitionsentscheidung ist ein wichtiger Meilenstein bei der Ermöglichung einer dauerhaften Entfernung und soll Schweden und der EU helfen, ihre langfristigen Klimaziele zu erreichen. Die Investition beläuft sich auf 13 Milliarden SEK. Mit dem

Solar energy could be key to making sustainable aviation fuel

A new way of making sustainable aviation fuel that could cut the reliance on used cooking oil as a feedstock, has been developed by a team of engineers led by the University of Sheffield. The new technique captures CO2 from the air, combines it with hydrogen and then heats it using concentrated solar energy to produce

Electrochemistry Turning CO₂ into Valuable Products

Electrochemical CO₂ conversion is moving from scientific promise to industrial relevance. By combining effective CO2 capture and conversion with renewable electricity, smart technologies can generate platform molecules such as syngas, formic acid, ethylene and other C1–C2 chemicals that fit into already established value chains or offer new platforms for various industries. Why scale-up matters The key
