Nonthermal Plasma-Promoted CO2 Hydrogenation in Presence of Alloy Catalysts

Nonthermal plasma (NTP) is used to activate CO2 molecules for hydrogenation into alternative fuels at low temperatures, also enabling the conversion of renewable electricity to chemical energy. Researchers from Tokyo Tech combined experimental and computational methods to investigate the hydrogenation pathway of NTP-promoted CO2on the surface of Pd2Ga/SiO2 catalysts. The mechanistic insights from their study can help

Renewable Carbon Initiative sees Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive revision as central

In Belgium, on-going revision of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive is a central element of a wide variety of Green Deal objectives, such as climate neutrality, mobilizing industry for a clean and circular economy or the zero pollution ambition that offers opportunities to increase the ambitions for sustainable plastic packaging. As an organization, the Renewable

Renewable & CCU fuels: an alternative to gas dependency available here & now in Europe

Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine has led Europe to rethink its energy policies from both a geopolitical and a climate perspective. In a context where the world’s energy system has been massively disrupted, the European Union (EU) is looking for new pathways to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels imported from Russia as well as

Beiersdorf launches world’s first cosmetic product with recycled CO2

Carbon dioxide and skin care: These are two worlds that could hardly be more different at first glance. With the innovative NIVEA MEN “Climate Care Moisturizer”, which is on shelf now, Beiersdorf demonstrates again that it is possible to benefit both the skin and the environment. NIVEA MEN is the first manufacturer of skin care

Beiersdorf bringt weltweit erstes Kosmetikprodukt mit recyceltem CO2 auf den Markt

Kohlendioxid und Hautpflege: Dies sind zwei Welten, die auf den ersten Blick unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten. Mit dem innovativen Produkt NIVEA MEN „Feuchtigkeitspflege Climate Care“, das ab sofort im Handel erhältlich ist, beweist Beiersdorf einmal mehr, dass es möglich ist, sowohl der Haut von Konsument*innen als auch der Umwelt etwas Gutes zu tun. Als erster

How can the plastics industry harness carbon capture with polymers made from emissions?

Dr Hydra Rodrigues, technology analyst at IDTechEx, analyses the opportunities and challenges involved with using captured CO2 emissions as feedstock in the production of polymers, which the organisation suggests could facilitate a circular carbon economy. One of the major environmental issues facing the planet today is the rising levels of plastic consumption and waste. According to

MGC and Tokuyama Corporation Begin Joint Study on Social Deployment of Circular Carbon Methanol Utilizing CO2, First of its Kind in Japan

Tokuyama Corporation (Tokuyama; Registered Headquarters: Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture; President: Hiroshi Yokota) and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. (MGC; Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Masashi Fujii) have signed an MOU to conduct a feasibility study into the manufacture and sale of methanol made from carbon dioxide (“CO2“) emitted and hydrogen (“H2“) generated at Tokuyama’s Tokuyama Factory,

How do we take the methane out of natural gas?

Natural gas is responsible for about 25% of the global energy supply. It has tremendous calorific value and a growing reputation as an alternative fuel with a lower global warming potential than coal and oil. Yet natural gas is not just hydrocarbon in nature, it is mixed with significant quantities of nitrogen (N2) and carbon

ReFuel EU – the feedstock challenge

However, the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% until 2030 can only be realistically achieved if drastic emission reductions are reached in the coming years, especially in the “problem area” of the transport sector. Since the Paris Climate Agreement, Europe has not managed to reduce GHG emissions in this field. It remains therefore

Twelve and Alaska Airlines to collaborate with Microsoft to advance sustainable aviation fuel derived from recaptured CO2 and renewable energy

Carbon transformation company Twelve, Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE: ALK), and Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on advancing the market for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to include fuels derived from recaptured CO2 and renewable energy, and working toward the first commercial demonstration flight in the United States powered by Twelve’s E-Jet®. Through the first-of-its-kind agreement,
