Biocatalysis in Green and Blue: Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria use photosynthesis to harvest the Sun’s energy to bind atmospheric CO 2 and accumulate biomass. This ability renders cyanobacteria interesting hosts for sustainable industrial processes.The photoautotrophic metabolism allows a constant su...

Neste and Avfuel create strategic partnership for sustainable aviation fuel

Neste and Avfuel Corporation announce a strategic partnership to create an efficient, continuous supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the United States. Neste will provide Avfuel with SAF in volumes able to meet the growing demands of Avfuel’s ...

Doctoral student of the BioRECO<sub>2</sub>VER project wins the Green Talents Award from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research!

The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) organises the Green Talents Competition – International Forum for High Potentials in Sustainable Development – which promotes the international exchange of innovative green ideas from differe...

Oregon State researchers take key step toward cleaner, more sustainable production of hydrogen

Efficiently mass-producing hydrogen from water is closer to becoming a reality thanks to Oregon State University College of Engineering researchers and collaborators at Cornell University and the Argonne National Laboratory.The scientists used advanced...

Production of Bio-alkanes from Biomass and CO<sub>2</sub>

Electro-fermentation (EF) and microbial CO2 electrosynthesis (MES) are emerging interdisciplinary technologies that can produce renewable carboxylic acids.A newly discovered photo-decarboxylase offers an innovative route for bio-alkane production from ...

This biodegradable single-use dental flosser actually takes carbon OUT of the atmosphere

“Increasingly, our material choices have become moral choices”, says Jessica Smith, a design graduate from Pratt Institute and the developer of a new kind of carbon-negative plastic – Carbyn.Carbyn seeks to mitigate the climate crisis by creating a car...

Direct air capture: silver bullet or red herring?

The Committee on Climate Change’s Sixth Carbon Budget is clear that to achieve the UK’s net zero carbon emissions goal by 2050 will require engineering solutions to remove greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, as the November date for the United Nations’...

Could Carbon Dioxide Be Turned Into Jet Fuel?

The aviation industry has been looking for ways to reduce its global carbon footprint for the past decade, such as purchasing so-called carbon offsets—like tree-planting projects or wind farms—to make up for the carbon dioxide spewed out by high-flying...

These companies are seeking to turn carbon into value

As more companies set aggressive decarbonization and net-zero goals, the role of technologies and processes that draw down excess levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and help sequester those emissions by using it as a feedstock for another product is ...

Enzymzwilling mit biotechnologischem Potenzial

Grünalgen besitzen zwei nahezu identische Wasserstoff produzierende Enzyme. Eines wird seit Jahrzehnten erforscht, das andere wurde kaum beachtet – bis vor Kurzem.Grünalgen sind beliebte Objekte der Biotechnologie, da sie Wasserstoff produzierende Enzy...
