Be part of the success story of CO2 as feedstock for fuels and chemicals

The use of CO2 in the chemical industry is gaining increasing momentum in the last years. CO2 is already used as a feedstock for fuels, platform chemicals, polymers and even a protein source for food and feed. One of the essential pillars for the supply of renewable carbon besides biomass and recycling is the Carbon Capture and

Sasol, ArcelorMittal South Africa partner to decarbonise and reindustrialise Vaal, Saldanha through green hydrogen

Sasol and ArcelorMittal South Africa have announced a partnership to develop carbon capture technology to produce sustainable fuels and chemicals, and green steel production through green hydrogen and derivatives. Under a joint development agreement (JDA), they will advance studies into two potential projects: the Saldanha green hydrogen and derivatives study which will explore the region’s

Sasol und ArcelorMittal werten CO2 auf

Die beiden Partner wollen in Südafrika mithilfe von erneuerbarem Wasserstoff Kraftstoffe, nachhaltige Chemikalien und Stahl herstellen. Ein Netto-Null-Ziel Sasol und ArcelorMittal kündigen an, eine Studie über erneuerbaren Wasserstoff und seine Derivate zu beginnen. So wird die Studie das Potenzial der Region Saldanha als Exportzentrum für erneuerbaren Wasserstoff und seine Derivate bewerten. In der zweiten Phase

Getting it to stick: Grabbing CO₂ out of the air

Direct air capture may be key to saving Earth from the effects of climate change, but there’s a catch: It’s really hard to do. Direct air capture (DAC) technologies are designed to remove carbon dioxide from the air, although there’s still a lot of room for improvement in DAC materials. Other molecules in the air, especially

Kleben bleiben: CO₂ aus der Luft fischen

Direct Air Capture (DAC) könnte der Schlüssel zur Rettung der Erde vor den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels sein, aber es gibt einen Haken: Es ist wirklich schwer zu machen. Technologien zur Direct Air Capture sind darauf ausgelegt, Kohlendioxid aus der Luft zu entfernen, obwohl es bei DAC-Materialien noch viel Raum für Verbesserungen gibt. Andere Moleküle in der

We like to share our expertise – with you!

Where are the chemical and material worlds heading? What alternatives beyond the fossil value chains already exist today? Where are investments worthwhile, where are there still risks? Which trends are clearly emerging? The nova team with more than 40 scientists from 7 countries is investigating these questions from the perspectives of technology and markets, sustainability

Fuel from a Greenhouse Gas

One step toward carbon dioxide (CO2) neutrality and the mitigation of both the greenhouse effect and the energy crisis would be to convert CO2 into hydrocarbon-based fuels like methane using light. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a Chinese research team has introduced a highly effective photocatalyst based on gold atoms to make this transformation possible. The photocatalytic

Brennstoff aus Treibhausgas

Ein Schritt in Richtung CO2-Neutralität und damit zur Abmilderung des Treibhauseffekts sowie der Energiekrise könnte die Umwandlung von CO2 in Kohlenwasserstoff-basierte Brennstoffe wie Methan sein – angetrieben durch Sonnenlicht. In der Zeitschrift Angewandte Chemie stellt ein chinesisches Forschungsteam einen geeigneten, sehr effektiven Photokatalysator auf Basis vereinzelter Goldatome vor. Die photokatalytische Umwandlung von CO2 läuft über eine Reihe von Prozessen,

80% yield! Success in synthesizing biodegradable plastic materials using sunlight and CO2!

Tremendous effort has been put into making plastics not only durable and convenient but also environmentally-friendly materials for everyday products. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists made a significant advance in this journey with their innovative artificial photosynthesis technology that produces biodegradable plastics from acetone and CO2, addressing the plastic waste crisis while moving toward the goal
