From waste to asset: Turning ethanol production CO₂ into jet fuel

The CO2 released from corn during ethanol production could actually be a valuable, underutilized resource for producing aviation fuel rather than a waste byproduct, according to a study published in the SAE International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, Energy, Environment, & Policy. Unlike the CO₂ from coal plants or cement kilns, which requires a lot of energy to

GBL, ICT Mumbai launch pilot plant to convert CO2 into clean fuel alternative

Godavari Biorefineries Limited has inaugurated a pilot plant in Sakarwadi, Maharashtra, to test a technology that converts carbon dioxide into dimethyl ether (DME), a fuel that can substitute liquefied petroleum gas and diesel. The project, developed in partnership with the Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai, marks the first one-step process globally to produce DME directly from

The Realistic Future Of Carbon Capture: Pure Streams, Right Locations, Smart Uses

Carbon capture and storage has been marketed as a general solution to climate change. The record shows it is not. Where it does make sense is where chemistry gives you a high-volume, concentrated stream of CO2, where geography puts that stream on top of storage or at a pier with pipeline routes offshore, and where

STEROPE: Pioneering Europe’s new model of carbon circularity and industrial decarbonization

STEROPE is a new European project that will demonstrate how advanced Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies can transform industrial CO₂ emissions into sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), renewable marine fuels, and bio-based chemicals, using green hydrogen and innovative catalytic and membrane systems. Led by HELLENiQ ENERGY (Greece), this four-year initiative unites 16 European partners from eight countries in

Exklusive dm-Innovation schützt das Klima, schont Ressourcen und stärkt Kreisläufe

Erstmals können Tenside über ein fermentations-basiertes CO2-Recycling-Verfahren gewonnen werden. Diese technologische Innovation ist dm gemeinsam mit seinen Herstellpartnern LanzaTech und der Mibelle Group gelungen. Ab November bringt dm mit dem Color- und dem Vollwaschmittel von Denkmit unter dem Pro Climate-Label die ersten beiden Produkte in seine mehr als 2.150 deutschen dm-Märkte. Das neuartig gewonnene, nichtionische

dm-drogerie markt Launches New Sustainable Laundry Detergent

German retailer dm-drogerie markt will launch new sustainable laundry detergents under its own-brand, Denkmit, this November. The first two Denkmit detergents, colour and all-purpose laundry detergent, will be available in dm’s more than 2.150 German stores. The German drugstore chain collaborated with its production partners LanzaTech and the Mibelle Group to create a new environmentally friendly manufacturing process for detergents. Sustainable

Last Chance to Register – Advanced Recycling Conference 2025

On 19-20 November 2025, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) in Cologne, Germany, once more unites industry leaders, technology providers, researchers, innovators, and policy-makers to address urgent recycling challenges in various waste-streams. Alongside core-topics like plastics and polymer recycling, this year’s event places strong emphasis on pollution-intensive sectors like textile and automotive, that pose significant environmental problems due to

Final Chance to Submit Your Abstract: CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026

Only one week left to submit your abstract for the CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026, taking place on 28–29 April 2026 in Cologne, Germany. This hybrid event consistently attracts over 230 international experts from industry, research, and policy, making it a unique meeting place for advancing Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X technologies. The

CO2-utilization technology makes renewable acrylonitrile

Nearly all of the currently produced building-block chemical acrylonitrile (AN) results from the ammoxidation of propylene, a process that requires precise heat control and generates several toxic side products, such as hydrogen cyanide. The startup company Mars Materials has developed an alternative process that utilizes captured CO2 or bio-based feedstocks, improves the yields of AN and

AI Circular Economy Conference 2026: How AI Powers Progress from Chemical and Material Innovations to Data Security – Preliminary Program now Published

The AI Circular Economy Conference 2026, organised by nova-Institute, is taking place on 4–5 March 2026 in Cologne, Germany, and online. This international hybrid event will bring together experts from the new chemical and plastic industry, recycling, biotechnology, CO2 utilisation (CCU) and digital sectors to explore the transformation towards circular and renewable carbon systems by
