Virtueller Blick hinter die Kulissen des Carbon2Chem®-Technikums

Es umfasst eine Fläche von 3.700 m2 und liegt direkt neben dem Werksgelände der thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG in Duisburg: Im Carbon2Chem®-Technikum wird die technische Umsetzung des im Verbundprojekt entwickelten Konzeptes zur Kreislaufführung von CO2 unter realen Bedingungen getestet. Einen virtuellen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Anlagen konnten die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer des Workshops »Every day for

One year on, Europe is still missing a business case for industrial decarbonisation

Meanwhile, European investments in renewables halved in 2023. But Brussels still has the potential to ramp up domestic production by building on the successes of the European Green Deal, write Markus Pieper and Bernd Weber. Dr Markus Pieper is a German politician and Member of the European Parliament for Germany. He is a member of

CCU/CCS: Echte Transformation statt falscher Technologieversprechen

Die Bundesregierung erarbeitet gerade eine Carbon Management Strategie zur Anwendung von CCS und CCU. Bei der Nutzung und Speicherung von abgeschiedenem CO2 gilt es, fossile Geschäftsmodelle nicht zu verlängern und Lock-ins zu vermeiden, meint die grüne Bundestagsabgeordnete Lisa Badum. Andernfalls schade die Strategie dem Klimaschutz. Ein merkwürdiges Merkmal klimapolitischer Diskussionen ist, dass ausgerechnet die Akteure,

Equatic’s Transformative Technology Allows Seawater to Capture & Store Carbon

Carbon removal company Equatic has developed a revolutionary process that relies on seawater electrolysis to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2), while simultaneously producing clean hydrogen. A new white paper written after consultation with EcoEngineers (Eco), a clean energy consulting, auditing, and advisory firm, outlines Equatic’s approach to quantifying and verifying Equatic’s carbon removal process. “White Paper: Equatic’s Measurement,

Is recycling CO2 into jet fuel the Holy Grail for sustainable aviation?

Carved out by glacial floodwaters that swept across the Columbia Plateau during the Pleistocene era, it’s a place that intimately knows change – climate, social and economic. What once was a barren landscape of arid steppe and canyon, beloved only by its inland Salish tribe, the Sinkiuse, its waterways were damned, irrigation was developed and

Direct air capture of CO2: dangerous nonsense

The release of CO2 to the atmosphere has become a problem. So much so, that a nonsensical idea like direct air capture (DAC) has attained followers. And is even experimented on by companies. Clearly, the world is in distress when an extreme idea like direct air capture can be taken seriously. The stakes are high Our

Biden-Harris Administration Announces Up To $1.2 Billion For Nation’s First Direct Air Capture Demonstrations in Texas and Louisiana

As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced up to $1.2 billion to advance the development of two commercial-scale direct air capture facilities in Texas and Louisiana. These projects—the first of this scale in the United States—represent the initial selections from the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law-funded Regional

The success of the INITIATE project using carbon capture and utilisation technology

Scientists estimate that roughly 34 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide is emitted globally each year. This gives us a sense of the immense amount of CO2 emissions going into the atmosphere yearly without being seen or very well perceived by the public. To grasp the scale of this phenomenon, imagine putting on magic glasses able to
