Green Technologies Continuing to Thrive and Drivers for Sustainable Growth

As the United States withdraws from the 2015 Paris Agreement, which established globally shared goals that pledged to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, concerns about the future of sustainable technologies are growing. However, IDTechEx identifies key areas where sustainable growth can remain a reality in their portfolio of Sustainability Research Reports. CCUS and the role of regulation

New book urges design to lead the transition to sustainable materials

As the environmental and health impacts of plastics become increasingly impossible to ignore, a groundbreaking book provides industrial designers and manufacturers with the essential knowledge to transition toward sustainable material choices. Rethinking Plastics in Product Design: A Guide to Sustainable Transitions for the Environmental Emergency, by Geoff Isaac, is a must-read for professionals engaged in

CO2 in Brennstoff umwandeln – mit Hilfe von Batterieabfällen

Batterieabfälle sind ein ernstes Umweltproblem: Sie enthalten Substanzen, die sowohl die menschliche Gesundheit als auch die Ökosysteme gefährden. Gleichzeitig sind in ihnen aber auch wertvolle Materialien wie Nickel enthalten, die wir dringend brauchen – etwa für die Produktion neuer Batterien. Bessere Recyclingmethoden für Batterien sind daher dringend nötig. An der TU Wien gelang es nun,

Converting CO2 into fuel – with the help of battery waste

Battery waste is a serious environmental problem: it contains substances that pose a threat to both human health and ecosystems. At the same time, however, they also contain valuable materials such as nickel, which we need – for example, for the production of new batteries. Better recycling methods for batteries are therefore urgently required. At

OCOchem prepares to flip the switch on tech for turning captured CO2 into industrial chemicals

OCOchem, a startup turning captured carbon dioxide into a valuable industrial chemical, is completing construction of its pilot plant in Eastern Washington. Once the 40,000-square-foot facility is commissioned in the coming months, OCOchem will start using its electrolyzer cells to turn CO2 into formic acid and other formate compounds. These chemicals can replace petroleum as a

Researchers show how to efficiently convert captured carbon dioxide into green energy

Methanol, important for the manufacture of many everyday goods and for its green energy potential, may soon be produced faster and more efficiently thanks to a collaboration that included two Oregon State University researchers. Zhenxing Feng and Alvin Chang of the OSU College of Engineering helped characterize a novel electrocatalyst developed by collaborators at Yale

Kohlendioxid in grüne Energie umwandeln: Neuer Katalysator verbessert CO2-Umwandlung

Forschende der Oregon State University haben einen neuen Dual-Site-Katalysator entwickelt, der die Umwandlung von Kohlendioxid (CO2) in Methanol verbessert. Durch die Kombination von zwei katalytischen Stellen steigt der Wirkungsgrad der Reaktion auf 50 Prozent, wodurch weniger Energie verloren geht. Methanol gilt als vielversprechender grüner Kraftstoff mit zahlreichen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten – von Brennstoffzellen bis hin zur industriellen
