She is the nova-clients’ main point of support for initial information about the nova-Institute via e-mail and telephone. In this context of nova-conferences (Cellulose

Vergesst die Luft! Holt das CO₂ aus dem Meer – meinen Forscher

Weltweit suchen Forscher mit Hochdruck nach Möglichkeiten, Kohlenstoffdioxid (CO₂) aktiv aus der Atmosphäre herauszuholen. Denn selbst, wenn die Menschheit es schaffen sollte, ihren CO₂-Ausstoß bis 2050 massiv zu reduzieren, bleiben immer noch schwer vermeidbare Emissionen aus Landwirtschaft, Schwerindustrie, Luft- und Schiffsverkehr übrig, die man über viele Jahrzehnte hinweg aus der Atmosphäre zurückholen muss. Darauf weist

A wholly sustainable plastics economy is feasible

A new study shows what it will take for the plastics industry to become completely sustainable: lots of recycling combined with the use of CO2 from the air and biomass. Plastic is everywhere. Our society cannot do without it: plastics have numerous advantages, are extremely versatile, and are also cost effective. Today, plastics are mainly produced

Eine absolut nachhaltige Kunststoffwirtschaft ist möglich

Eine neue Studie zeigt auf, was es braucht, damit die Kunststoffwirtschaft vollständig nachhaltig wird: eine Kombination von viel Recycling, der Nutzung von CO2 aus der Luft und von Biomasse. Plastik ist überall. Weil Kunststoffe zahlreiche Vorzüge haben, extrem vielseitig einsetzbar und darüber hinaus kostengünstig sind, kann unsere Gesellschaft nicht auf sie verzichten. Hergestellt werden Kunststoffe heute

Hydrogen: The path towards decarbonisation

Decarbonisation is one of the main market objectives for countries all over the world to face by 2050 so that we can achieve a more sustainable planet and efficient energy. In this way, it can claim to give a solution to problems created by the use of fossil fuels such as the gas emissions that

Protecting the climate during textile production – polyester fibers bind CO2

Start for an EU-wide collaborative project: Under the leadership of the French company Fairbrics SAS, 17 project partners from 7 European countries are coming together. The common goal is to produce end products from polyester in a closed cycle using industrial CO2 emissions and to bring them to market maturity. The DITF produce synthetic fibers from

Klimaschutz bei der Textilproduktion: Polyesterfasern binden CO2

Start für ein EU-weites Verbundprojekt: Unter der Leitung des französischen Unternehmens Fairbrics SAS finden sich 17 Projektpartner aus sieben europäischen Ländern zusammen. Gemeinsames Ziel ist es, in einem geschlossenen Kreislauf Endprodukte aus Polyester unter Verwendung von industriellen CO2-Emissionen zu erzeugen und zur Marktreife zu führen. Die DITF stellen dabei Synthesefasern aus Kunststoffen nicht fossilen Ursprungs

Monthly news from the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI), February 2023

1) Letter to the Commission on the definition of natural polymers in the REACH microplastics restriction The RCI wrote a letter to the EU Commission which was co-signed by BioChem Europe (a sector group of Cefic), EDANA, EuropaBio, European BioPlastics, and GO!PHA, and raises specific concerns about the proposed definition of “natural polymers” in the

How to pull carbon dioxide out of seawater

As carbon dioxide continues to build up in the Earth’s atmosphere, research teams around the world have spent years seeking ways to remove the gas efficiently from the air. Meanwhile, the world’s number one “sink” for carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is the ocean, which soaks up some 30 to 40 percent of all of
