Leading international experts meet at one of the world’s key events on Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X

CCU is one essential pillar for the supply of renewable carbon besides biomass and recycling and therefore one of the key technologies for the transition to sustainable chemical and fuel production and to substitute fossil feedstock sources. This is crucial to fight additional CO2 emissions and climate change and to shift towards climate-friendly production and consumption.

Führende internationale Experten treffen sich auf einer der weltweit wichtigsten Veranstaltungen zu Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) und Power-to-X

Neben Biomasse und Recycling, stellt CCU eine wesentliche Säule der Versorgung mit erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff dar. Hierdurch ist sie eine Schlüsseltechnologie des Übergangs zu einer nachhaltigen Chemie- und Kraftstoffproduktion und zur Substitution fossiler Rohstoffquellen. Dies ist besonders für die Vermeidung zusätzlicher CO2-Emissionen und klimaschädlicher Effekte sowie für den Übergang zu einer klimafreundlichen Produktion und klimafreundlichen Konsumkonzepten

Neue Anlage produziert Kohlenstoff aus Luft

Das Treibhausgas CO2 aus der Atmosphäre entnehmen und durch kombinierte Prozesse in einen stabilen Kohlenstoff umwandeln – das leistet seit diesem Monat ein neuer Anlagenverbund am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) im Versuchsmaßstab. Das im Forschungsprojekt NECOC gemeinsam mit Industriepartnern entwickelte Verfahren vereint negative Emissionen mit der Produktion eines Hightech-Rohstoffs. Nun soll es energetisch optimiert und

Carbon Matchmaker

The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management is focused on advancing carbon management technologies to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through strong public-private partnerships and in a just and sustainable way. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) enables this mission by directing over $12 billion dollars for carbon management research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) over the next

To Battle Climate Change, Scientists Tap Into Carbon-Hungry Microorganisms for Clues

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have demonstrated a new technique, modeled after a metabolic process found in some bacteria, for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into liquid acetate, a key ingredient in “liquid sunlight” or solar fuels produced through artificial photosynthesis. The new approach, reported in Nature Catalysis, could help advance carbon-free alternatives to fossil

Prince William unveils Lanzatech as a Finalist for the Second Annual Earthshot Prize Awards

Launched in 2020 by HRH Prince William, The Earthshot Prize is the world’s most prestigious environmental prize LanzaTech’s gas fermentation technology traps pollution and turns it into something useful. By targeting CO2, as well as industrial, municipal and agricultural waste, the company has discovered a way to produce large quantities of useful materials, while keeping

SigmaRoc to install carbon capture facility

SigmaRoc plc is pleased to announce that it will install its first carbon capture facility in Q1 2023 with the aim to capture all kiln process emissions by 2030, well ahead of its 2040 Net-Zero targets. Highlights: The Group has entered into an agreement with Aqualung Carbon Capture AS (‘Aqualung’) a leading membrane carbon capture and separation technology provider; Each shipping container sized unit will be capable of capturing up to 25% of one of Nordkalk’s typical kiln’s process emissions, using Aqualung’s simple and low

Products Made With Captured Greenhouse Gas Are Reaching Commercial Scale

Straws, bottles and packaging made with captured greenhouse-gas are starting to reach commercial scale, offering a way for businesses making and using everyday products to reduce emissions contributing to global warming. Locking up greenhouse gas in ingredients that go into products can be costly compared with petroleum-based options and presents hurdles to building out enough

CEMEX and RTI awarded $3.7 million cooperative agreement to advance carbon capture technology in cement manufacturing

CEMEX USA announced today that as part of its Future in Action program aimed at cutting CO2 emissions throughout its value chain, the company has been awarded a $3.7 million cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy in collaboration with non-profit research institute RTI International. Other partners on the project include SLB, a global technology

Electrochaea Joins New European Cleantech Scale-Up Coalition, Supported by Breakthrough Energy and Kadri Simson

German Power-to-Gas specialist Electrochaea joined seven other leading European cleantech companies to announce the formation of a new Cleantech Scale-up Coalition, with the goal of helping Europe become climate neutral, energy autonomous and industrially competitive. The coalition is supported by Breakthrough Energy, founded by Bill Gates, and Kadri Simson, European Commissioner for Energy, both in
