DOE Announces $46 Million to Explore New Technologies That Convert Carbon and Waste Into Clean Energy

The U.S. Department of Energy today announced $46 million for 22 projects that will create biofuel energy to help decarbonize the transportation and power generation sectors. These innovative projects, led by universities, private companies, municipal resource management entities, and local governments, will develop waste conversion and carbon capture technologies to produce fuels from biomass and

Direct conversion of carbon dioxide into bulk chemicals and liquid fuels

The chemical utilization of CO2, which refers to converting CO2 into value-added chemicals and liquid fuels, has a distinct and direct CO2emission reduction effect, and can alleviate the energy crisis effectively. Using renewable H2 from H2O electrolysis, the direct conversion of CO2 into bulk chemicals and liquid fuels via heterogeneous catalysis may not only solve the problem of hydrogen storage

Direkte Umwandlung von Kohlendioxid in Grundchemikalien und flüssige Kraftstoffe

Die chemische Nutzung von CO2, d. h. die Umwandlung von CO2 in hochwertige Chemikalien und flüssige Brennstoffe, hat einen deutlichen und direkten Effekt auf die Reduzierung der CO2-Emissionen und kann die Energiekrise wirksam lindern. Unter Verwendung von erneuerbarem H2 aus der H2O-Elektrolyse kann die direkte Umwandlung von CO2 in Grundchemikalien und flüssige Brennstoffe mittels heterogener Katalyse nicht nur

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners and University of California Berkeley, to develop technology converting air to sugar

CCEP Ventures to partner with Peidong Yang Research Group to develop scalable methods of converting captured air (CO2) into sugar Technology could reduce some of the largest CO₂ contributors in supply chains, while saving material, transportation and logistics costs Development of lab scale prototypes could mean in the long-term, the generation of essential raw and

Lessons from natural photosynthesis: conversion of CO2 to raw materials for plastic!

Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have managed to create fumarate using artificial photosynthesis on pyruvate and CO2. This fumarate can be used to make biodegradable plastic like polybutylene succinate, storing the carbon in a compact, durable, solid form. Currently, most fumarate used to make this plastic is produced from petroleum, so creating fumarate from CO2 and

Recyclingkunststoff ersetzt Beton

Hohlkörper aus Recyclingkunststoff – genauer aus recyceltem Polypropylen (rPP) – können in Decken von Gewerbegebäuden bis zu 40 % des Betons ersetzen. Entwickelt hat diese materialeffiziente Leichtbauweise die Unidome Deutschland GmbH aus Eltville am Rhein. Hohlkörper aus Recyclingkunststoff im Beton Bei dem Verfahren werden an wenig tragenden Stellen statt Beton Hohlkörper, sogenannte Verdränger, verwendet. Gefertigt

With a €43M EU grant and €1.2M from a VC, this startup plans to turn CO2 emissions into gold

It’s hoped that if carbon dioxide could be converted at the point of emission, we could deal with the climate crisis a lot faster and create a sustainable carbon economy. There are a few companies trying to tackle this. Zurich-based Climeworks is capturing CO2 from the air via commercial carbon dioxide removal technology, and has raised

Südzucker becomes member of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI)

Südzucker’s membership underscores the company’s ambitions to support an accelerated transformation of the use of fossil carbon to renewable carbon from biomass, carbon dioxide and recycling. At the same time, it gives Südzucker the opportunity to raise the profile of sustainable agriculture in the context of a fossil carbon-free industry. The chemical industry and many

Südzucker wird Mitglied in der Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI)

Mit der Mitgliedschaft unterstreicht Südzucker die Ambitionen des Unternehmens zur Unterstützung einer beschleunigten Transformation der Nutzung von fossilem Kohlenstoff hin zu erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff aus Biomasse, Kohlenstoffdioxid und Recycling. Gleichzeitig eröffnet es Südzucker die Möglichkeit, das Thema nachhaltige Landwirtschaft im Kontext einer Industrie ohne fossilen Kohlenstoff stärker in den Vordergrund zu rücken. Sowohl die chemische Industrie

A simple, cheap material for carbon capture, perhaps from tailpipes

The process for synthesizing the melamine material, published this week in the journal Science Advances, could potentially be scaled down to capture emissions from vehicle exhaust or other movable sources of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning makes up about 75% of all greenhouse gases produced in the U.S. The new material is simple
