Monthly news from the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI), April 2025

Welcome to the April edition of RCI’s monthly news! This month, we are happy to share two particular milestones with you: First, RCI published a key report on “Policy Proposals for Facilitating the Transition to Renewable Carbon” – right on time for the many EU policy initiatives – and second, we celebrate the launch of TÜV Austria’s

Final Programme Available – The Renewable Materials Conference (RMC)

The Renewable Materials Conference (RMC), 22-24 September 2025 in Siegburg/Cologne (Germany) presents solutions and innovations for replacing fossil carbon with biomass, CO2 utilisation and advanced recycling – the only alternatives to fossil-based materials. The unique concept of showcasing all renewable materials solutions in one event hits the mark. It covers the entire value chain from

Worley: Accelerating e-Methanol production in collaboration with Topsoe in the US Midwest

Our partnership aims to support the shipping industry transition to low carbon fuels while addressing growing demand, with each facility expected to produce up to 600 tonnes of e-Methanol per day. Topsoe will provide the methanol synthesis technology, while we will develop the green hydrogen facilities, handling electrolyzer procurement and overall integration. By adopting a

Energiequelle launches its first hydrogen project in Finland

Energiequelle has received planning consent for its Oulu Green Hydrogen Park project. It is the company’s first public hydrogen project in Finland and is to be developed in the city of Oulu, 600 kilometres north of Helsinki. The first phase of the project includes the construction of a hydrogen production plant with a maximum capacity

Energiequelle startet mit der Planung des ersten eigenen Wasserstoffprojektes in Finnland

Energiequelle hat die Planungszusage für ihr Oulu Green Hydrogen Park-Projekt erhalten. Es ist das erste öffentliche Wasserstoffprojekt des Unternehmens in Finnland und soll in der Stadt Oulu, 600 km nördlich von Helsinki, entwickelt werden. Die erste Phase des Projekts umfasst den Bau einer Wasserstoffproduktionsanlage mit einer maximalen Kapazität von fünf MW sowie einer Wasserstofftankstelle für

Greener Cement and CCUS – IDTechEx Explores Decarbonizing Cement

Concrete is a large contributor to CO2 emissions, with its key ingredient, cement, being responsible for 7% of Earth’s annual carbon footprint. IDTechEx’s report, “Decarbonization of Cement 2025-2035: Technologies, Market Forecasts, and Players“, benchmarks green cement technologies including supplementary cementitious materials, alternative fuels, and emerging production processes. According to IDTechEx forecasting, increased deployment of cement decarbonization

Prometheus Fuels: Our First Product

We’re proud to announce our first product – a 99.9% pure, carbon neutral methanol fuel that is molecularly identical to fossil methanol, but made from air. Orders for our first million tons of the fuel are sold out. What do we mean by “molecularly identical”? Here’s an FTIR analysis that compares Prometheus methanol to fossil

Paebbl starts operating its continuous demo plant, a world-first for CO₂ mineralisation

We’re pleased to announce the next phase of scaling up of our operations, with the successful launch of our demo plant, which has been operating continuously since late March 2025. The first (and most significant) phase of the project was completed in just under 18 months. Paebbl’s proprietary technology converts captured CO₂ into future-proof materials,

Wie kann die Chemieindustrie defossilisiert werden?

Die europäische chemische Industrie, die ein Eckpfeiler der Produktion mit erheblicher wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung und ein wichtiger Wegbereiter zahlreicher anderer Branchen ist, steht am Scheideweg. Die Branche befindet sich aufgrund des globalen Wettbewerbs, steigender Energiekosten und wachsender regulatorischer Anforderungen in einer akuten Krise. Einst führend bei Patenten und Produktion, liegt Europa heute hinter China und den

Artificial Photosynthesis: Researchers Mimic Plants

Photosynthesis is a marvellous process: plants use it to produce sugar molecules and oxygen from the simple starting materials carbon dioxide and water. They draw the energy they need for this complex process from sunlight. If humans could imitate photosynthesis, it would have many advantages. The free energy from the sun could be used to
