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

Aircapture and Almanac Beer Co. Launch World’s First Commercial Beer Carbonated with CO₂ Captured from the Atmosphere with Direct Air Capture

Aircapture, a pioneer in Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, and California craft beer brewery Almanac Beer Co. announced the launch of Flow – Clean Air Edition (Flow – CAE), the world’s first beer carbonated using CO₂ captured from the atmosphere through onsite DAC. Installed at Almanac’s brewery in Alameda, California, Aircapture’s modular DAC unit pulls

AGR Biogás and TURN2X to recycle biogenic CO₂ as e-methane

A Spanish biomethane company is partnering with an e-methane producer to capture and reuse biogenic CO₂ that would otherwise be released during biogas upgrading. AGR Biogás announced it will supply carbon dioxide from its biomethane plants to TURN2X, which will convert it into e-methane using green hydrogen. The collaboration turns a production byproduct into feedstock for renewable fuel.

The bright future of CCU: CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026, 28-29 April 2026, Maternushaus, Cologne (Germany)

Interest in CCU/PtX technologies, which use CO₂ as a feedstock for fuels, chemicals, and plastics, is growing rapidly. Many of these technologies are now mature enough to justify investment. What is driving this interest? Technological advances, affordable renewable energy, crises in the supply of fossil fuels, the desire for resilience and strategic autonomy, stronger political

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
