Fraunhofer process increases methane yield from biogas plants

Biogas plants produce methane along with more than 40 percent CO2 which has been released into the atmosphere in conventional biogas plants. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM have now found a way to convert this waste product into additional methane, thus drastically increasing the methane yield from biogas plants. The

Methan statt CO2: Fraunhofer-Verfahren erhöht Methanausbeute von Biogasanlagen

Biogasanlagen erzeugen Methan – und etwa 40 Prozent CO2, das bislang ungenutzt entweicht. Forschende des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Mikrotechnik und Mikrosysteme IMM wandeln dieses Abfallprodukt nun ebenfalls in Methan um und erhöhen die Methanausbeute von Biogasanlagen somit drastisch. Das Verfahren läuft, derzeit skaliert das Forscherteam die Demonstrationsanlage auf fünf Kubikmeter Methan pro Stunde hoch. Deutschland ist

A novel process to capture and convert CO2 from air

As CO2 emissions continue to grow, the world is becoming ever more reliant on the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to achieve urgent climate targets. Direct air capture (DAC) is a promising novel technology for the extraction of carbon dioxide from ambient air via liquid or solid sorbents. The CO2 provided by this

Novel Silver Hollow Fiber Boosts CO2 Electroreduction

The electrochemical conversion of CO2 into carbon-based fuels and valuable feedstocks by renewable electricity is an attractive strategy for addressing CO2 abatement and renewable energy consumption, which is of great significance for achieving the goal of carbon neutralization. CO is the important component of syngas (a mixture of CO and H2), which can be directly

The climatech startup converting CO2 into reusable carbon-based byproducts

“When it comes to climate change, I want people to know that the time to act is now,” Carbonade co-founder and CEO Raanan Shelach told CTech in an interview. As a former fighter pilot in the Israeli Air Force, Shelach has seen the effects of climate change from the air, the barren deserts and dried

Startup enaDyne bei Carbon-to-Value-Challenge der Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen dabei

Das Startup will mit Hilfe einer neuartigen und besonders energieeffizienten Plasma-Katalyse-Technologie sowie einem hochkarätigen Verbundnetzwerk erstmals in einem einzigen Prozessschritt Grundchemikalien, wie Methanol oder Ethylen, aus Kohlenstoffdioxid und einem Wasserstoffträger herstellen. Um die Technologie möglichst schnell zur Marktreife zu bringen, wird das Unternehmen jetzt als eines von fünf Teams im Rahmen der Carbon-to-Value Challenge von

Marktfähige Power-to-X-Technologien entwickeln

Im Rahmen eines neuen Projektes des Spitzenclusters Industrielle Innovationen (SPIN) entsteht eine offene Versuchsplattform für die Entwicklung von Power-to-X-Technologien. Untersucht werden dabei Möglichkeiten, CO2-haltige Abgasströme zunächst in ein Synthesegas aus Kohlenmonoxid und Wasserstoff und dann in verschiedene Produkte für die Chemie-, Kraftstoff- und Kunststoffindustrie umzuwandeln. Die nordrhein-westfälische Landesregierung fördert dieses Vorhaben mit 5,3 Mio. Euro.

Lanzatech and Zara collaborate on CCU fashion

Recently Zara released a limited-edition line of sustainable fashion made from captured carbon emissions. This follows their December 2021 launch of a limited-edition capsule collection with the first clothing line to use LanzaTech’s technology in turning carbon emissions into fabric instead of coming from virgin fossil resources. Capturing and repurposing carbon emissions from industrial processes

CEMEX successfully turns CO2 into carbon nanomaterials

CEMEX has successfully converted CO2 into carbon nanomaterials in a laboratory setting. Carbon nanomaterials have several potential commercial applications in fields such as building materials, electronics, agriculture, and biomedicine. CEMEX is the first company in the cement industry to introduce this technology, which could be a game-changer in decarbonizing cement production. CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.

Polycarbonates from renewable hydrocarbons

It’s no secret that plant-based polycarbonate (PC) can be problematic. Not only does the plastic demonstrate complex technical properties, developing alternative chemical intermediates with the performance potential of petrochemical-based PCs can be a time-consuming process. The wider polymer industry is already beginning to shift towards renewable carbon feedstocks such as biomass and CO2 to reduce
