Electrochaea tritt der neuen europäischen Cleantech Scale-Up-Koalition bei, die von Breakthrough Energy und Kadri Simson unterstützt wird

Der deutsche Power-to-Gas-Spezialist Electrochaea hat zusammen mit sieben anderen führenden europäischen Cleantech-Unternehmen die Gründung einer neuen Cleantech Scale-up-Coalition bekannt gegeben, deren Ziel es ist, Europa zu helfen, klimaneutral, energieautonom und industriell wettbewerbsfähig zu werden. Unterstützt wird die Koalition von der von Bill Gates gegründeten Breakthrough Energy undvon Kadri Simson, der EU-Kommissarin für Energie, die beide

Circular Economy: TotalEnergies and Air Liquide innovate to produce Renewable, Low Carbon Hydrogen at the Grandpuits Zero Crude Platform

TotalEnergies and Air Liquide are innovating to produce and valorize renewable, low carbon hydrogen at the Grandpuits zero crude platform. Under a long-term contract committing TotalEnergies to purchase the hydrogen produced for the needs of its platform, Air Liquide will invest over €130 million in the construction and operation of a new unit producing hydrogen.

Nächstes großes Wasserstoff-Vorhaben: Zwei Big Player an einem Strang – die Details

Immer mehr Unternehmen gehen innovative Wege, um eine ressourcenschonende Kreislaufwirtschaft zu etablieren. So auch der Industriegase-Riese Air Liquide und der Energie-Gigant TotalEnergies. Beide Unternehmen wollen die Produktion von erneuerbaren und kohlenstoffarmen Wasserstoff im Rahmen der Umwandlung des Total-Energies-Standorts Grandpuits ermöglichen. Air Liquide nimmt über 130 Millionen Euro in die Hand, um den Bau und den

Towards a zero-emission construction trade

Al last, the need to work towards zero-emission construction seems to dawn on the construction trade. Not an easy task, as the volume of building projects around the world is still growing. But at least, some in the branch have started thinking about how to achieve this goal. 8% of world-wide CO2 emissions A recent issue of

This Simple Material Could Scrub Carbon Dioxide From Power Plant Smokestacks

How can we remove carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from fossil-fuel power plant exhaust before it ever reaches the atmosphere? New findings suggest a promising answer lies in a simple, economical and potentially reusable material analyzed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where scientists from several institutions have determined why this material

Engineered living photosynthetic biocomposites for intensified biological carbon capture

Abstract Carbon capture and storage is required to meet Paris Agreement targets. Photosynthesis is nature’s carbon capture technology. Drawing inspiration from lichen, we engineered 3D photosynthetic cyanobacterial biocomposites (i.e., lichen mimics) using acrylic latex polymers applied to loofah sponge. Biocomposites had CO2 uptake rates of 1.57 ± 0.08 g CO2 g−1biomass d−1. Uptake rates were based on the dry biomass at

Center researches e-fuels, carbon capture

LEC was founded to comply with the COMET Programme (Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies) of the Austrian federal government, financed by the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, as well as the Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy. COMET centers, such as the LEC, are tasked with developing solutions for

‘False solutions’: scepticism over Saudi carbon capture plan

Saudi Arabia is bolstering years of negotiation tactics designed to stymie vital climate negotiations with a focus on carbon capture technologies that experts say risk delaying a meaningful transition from fossil fuels. The kingdom, which is the world’s second largest oil producer, accounting for roughly 15% of global output, announced plans at Cop27 in Egypt

New study by the University of Bayreuth: Biodegradable microplastics in soils cause CO₂ emissions to rise

This is shown by an interdisciplinary study published in “Applied Soil Ecology” by the Collaborative Research Centre 1357 “Microplastics” at the University of Bayreuth. In this study, experts in soil ecology and ecological microbiology compare the effects of a conventional and a biodegradable plastic in different soils in a systematic way for the first time.
