Green Hydrogen Production – A Key Element for Maximizing Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) Benefits

To realize the full potential of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU), the industry requires long-term supply of CO2 from persistent biogenic CO2 sources, efficient capture technologies and a consistent supply of renewable energy and green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is essential as it serves as an energy-rich reactant converting inert CO2 into valuable chemicals, polymers, materials, and fuels. To

Mittelstand fordert Rohstoffwende

Unter der Federführung von bvse-Hauptgeschäftsführer Eric Rehbock steht das Konzept der “Rohstoffwende” als einer der zwölf Punkte im Mittelpunkt, das die Vorteile der Kreislaufwirtschaft hervorhebt und konkrete Maßnahmen zur Umsetzung fordert. Deutschland braucht eine Rohstoffwende Die Mittelstandsallianz betont, dass Deutschland eine umfassende Rohstoffwende durch mehr Ressourcenschonung, Recycling sowie eine effiziente Sekundärrohstoffwirtschaft benötigt, um eine ökonomisch

Deadline 16 March: Please Submit Your Abstract to the Renewable Materials Conference (RMC)

The Renewable Materials Conference (RMC), 22-24 September 2025 in Siegburg/Cologne (Germany), is the world’s largest conference on innovative and renewable chemicals, plastics and materials. It presents solutions and innovations for replacing fossil carbon with biomass, CO2 utilisation and advanced recycling – the only alternatives to fossil-based materials. The unique concept of showcasing all renewable materials

SEIL Energy and IIT-Madras collaborate to revolutionize carbon capture technology

SEIL Energy India Limited (SEIL), One of the largest independent power producers (IPP) in India, and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, have joined forces to develop a groundbreaking carbon (CO2) capture technology. This innovative project, supported by SEIL’s CSR initiative, has resulted in the creation of ‘Chemogel’, a patented (IIT-Madras) nanoparticle-based solvent that

Tiny copper ‘flowers’ bloom on artificial leaves for clean fuel production

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the University of California, Berkeley, developed a practical way to make hydrocarbons – molecules made of carbon and hydrogen – powered solely by the sun. The device they developed combines a light absorbing ‘leaf’ made from a high-efficiency solar cell material called perovskite, with a copper nanoflower

Wenn Sonnenlicht Kohlenwasserstoffe erzeugt

Forscher der University of Cambridge und der University of California, Berkeley, haben eine praktische Methode entwickelt, um Kohlenwasserstoffe – Moleküle aus Kohlenstoff und Wasserstoff – allein mit Hilfe der Sonne herzustellen. Das von ihnen entwickelte Gerät kombiniert ein lichtabsorbierendes „Blatt“ aus einem hocheffizienten Solarzellenmaterial namens Perowskit mit einem Kupfer-Nanoblüten-Katalysator, um Kohlendioxid in nützliche Moleküle umzuwandeln.

Syensqo and Ardent announce strategic partnership to accelerate carbon capture innovation

Syensqo and Ardent Process Technologies (Ardent) today announced the formalization of their strategic partnership, building upon more than two years of successful collaboration in advancing carbon capture and olefin-paraffin separation solutions. These technologies – known as “Point source carbon Capture” – are used to capture CO2 emissions from the production source, such as industrial facilities,

HyLion network: e-methanol for CO2-reduced supply chains

The overarching aim of the HyLion network is to establish a transnational, European end-to-end supply chain for CO2-reduced hydrogen and e-methanol. The plan is to produce e-methanol in Scotland and supply it for various applications in the UK and Europe – including Germany. The management and IT consultancy MHP provides strategic and operational advice on

Assessment of social and cultural factors in CCU-technology uptake in urban communities and developing countries

When it comes to innovate technologies like Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) solutions the uptake of relevant stakeholder groups can determine the success and transferability. The EU-funded research project WaterProof is developing an electrochemistry based CO2-conversion technology transforming CO2 from waste incineration and wastewater treatment facilities into formic acid. To ensure high transferability of this technology,

Avantium R&D Solutions to provide adsorption testing units to Climeworks for the capture of carbon dioxide from air

Avantium N.V., a leader in renewable and circular polymer materials, announces that it has entered into an agreement with Climeworks AG, a pioneer in Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. Under the agreement, Climeworks will acquire another advanced high-throughput adsorption testing unit from Avantium R&D Solutions. This strategic step aims to accelerate the large-scale deployment of
