Using Cyanobacteria to Convert Carbon Dioxide into Glucose

The plant-biomass-sugar route dominates the current glucose supply, while it is influenced by multiple parameters, such as plant-cultivation cycles, biomass-collection radius, and pre-treatment costs. Against the backdrop of global climate crisis and worsening food shortages, developing more efficient, continual, and industrial glucose production routes is needed. However, direct conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose through

Econic Technologies and Monument Chemical announce licensing agreement to develop and grow CO₂ based polyurethanes in USA

Monument Chemical is the first US company to license Econic’s process for manufacturing polycarbonate ether (PCE) polyols made from CO2 as a sustainable source of renewable carbon. With Econic’s technology, Monument will upcycle waste carbon dioxide into polyols for high-performance foams, laminates, coatings, and elastomers for use in automotive, furniture, mattress, construction, and industrial applications. Monument will

Clean, sustainable fuels made ‘from thin air’ and plastic waste

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, developed a solar-powered reactor that converts captured CO2 and plastic waste into sustainable fuels and other valuable chemical products. In tests, CO2 was converted into syngas, a key building block for sustainable liquid fuels, and plastic bottles were converted into glycolic acid, which is widely used in the

ArcelorMittal and LanzaTech announce first ethanol samples from commercial flagship carbon capture and utilisation facility in Ghent, Belgium

ArcelorMittal and LanzaTech Global Inc.
