Celanese Achieves ISCC Carbon Footprint Certification for POM ECO-C Grades, Expanding Circular Economy Leadership

Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global leader in specialty materials and chemicals, has achieved Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC) from International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) for its Hostaform® and Celcon® POM ECO-C grades at production sites in Frankfurt, Germany, and Bishop, Texas – expanding its network of certified facilities to empower customers to reduce product

Unless we rapidly ramp up CO₂ removal, climate neutrality by 2045 will be scarcely achievable

According to the Federal Climate Change Act, Germany is supposed to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. To do this, it is not sufficient to massively reduce emissions: A significant portion of CO₂ needs to be removed from the atmosphere as well. Over 100 scientists in the large-scale interdisciplinary program CDRterra, working in ten research

CO₂-Entnahme: Ohne schnellen Hochlauf ist Klimaneutralität bis 2045 kaum erreichbar

Bis 2045 soll Deutschland laut Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetz treibhausgasneutral werden. Dafür reicht es nicht, Emissionen massiv zu senken: Es muss auch ein bedeutender Anteil an CO₂ aus der Atmosphäre entfernt werden. Über 100 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler des interdisziplinären Großprojekts CDRterra haben in zehn Forschungsverbünden verschiedene CO₂-Entnahmemethoden (Carbon Dioxide Removal, CDR) untersucht – von biologischen bis zu (geo-)chemischen Verfahren. Das vom

A new approach to carbon capture could slash costs

Capturing carbon dioxide from industrial plants is an important strategy in the efforts to reduce the impact of global climate change. It’s used in many industries, including the production of petrochemicals, cement, and fertilizers. Their new approach uses a chemical called tris — short for tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane — to stabilize the pH of the solution used

Global hydrogen market: Uniper and thyssenkrupp Uhde sign framework agreement on the use of ammonia cracking technology

Uniper and thyssenkrupp Uhde have signed a framework agreement that lays the foundation for the construction of commercial ammonia cracking plants. Uniper has secured license packages for the use of thyssenkrupp Uhde’s ammonia cracking technology. The agreement covers up to six large-scale plants with a total capacity of 7,200 metric tons of ammonia per day

Globaler Wasserstoffmarkt: Uniper und thyssenkrupp Uhde schließen Rahmenvereinbarung über die Nutzung von Technologie zur Ammoniak-Spaltung

Uniper und thyssenkrupp Uhde haben eine Rahmenvereinbarung unterzeichnet, die den Grundstein für den Bau kommerzieller Ammoniak-Cracking-Anlagen legt. Uniper hat sich dazu Lizenzpakete für die Nutzung der Technologie von thyssenkrupp Uhde zur Ammoniak-Spaltung gesichert. Die Vereinbarung umfasst bis zu sechs Großanlagen mit einer Gesamtkapazität von 7.200 Tonnen Ammoniak pro Tag (metric tons per day = mtpd).

Nobel Prize for MOFs: Nanostructures enable large-scale extraction of carbon dioxide from the air

BASF produces metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for CO₂ capture on an industrial scale. These nanostructures can absorb large quantities of molecules on their surface. For the development of these MOF structures, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm will award this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry on December 10, 2025. The prize will go to the
