Greener Cement and CCUS – IDTechEx Explores Decarbonizing Cement

Concrete is a large contributor to CO2 emissions, with its key ingredient, cement, being responsible for 7% of Earth’s annual carbon footprint. IDTechEx’s report, “Decarbonization of Cement 2025-2035: Technologies, Market Forecasts, and Players“, benchmarks green cement technologies including supplementary cementitious materials, alternative fuels, and emerging production processes. According to IDTechEx forecasting, increased deployment of cement decarbonization

Prometheus Fuels: Our First Product

We’re proud to announce our first product – a 99.9% pure, carbon neutral methanol fuel that is molecularly identical to fossil methanol, but made from air. Orders for our first million tons of the fuel are sold out. What do we mean by “molecularly identical”? Here’s an FTIR analysis that compares Prometheus methanol to fossil

Paebbl starts operating its continuous demo plant, a world-first for CO₂ mineralisation

We’re pleased to announce the next phase of scaling up of our operations, with the successful launch of our demo plant, which has been operating continuously since late March 2025. The first (and most significant) phase of the project was completed in just under 18 months. Paebbl’s proprietary technology converts captured CO₂ into future-proof materials,

Wie kann die Chemieindustrie defossilisiert werden?

Die europäische chemische Industrie, die ein Eckpfeiler der Produktion mit erheblicher wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung und ein wichtiger Wegbereiter zahlreicher anderer Branchen ist, steht am Scheideweg. Die Branche befindet sich aufgrund des globalen Wettbewerbs, steigender Energiekosten und wachsender regulatorischer Anforderungen in einer akuten Krise. Einst führend bei Patenten und Produktion, liegt Europa heute hinter China und den

Artificial Photosynthesis: Researchers Mimic Plants

Photosynthesis is a marvellous process: plants use it to produce sugar molecules and oxygen from the simple starting materials carbon dioxide and water. They draw the energy they need for this complex process from sunlight. If humans could imitate photosynthesis, it would have many advantages. The free energy from the sun could be used to

Künstliche Photosynthese: Forscher ahmen Pflanzen nach

Die Photosynthese ist ein fabelhafter Prozess: Aus den einfachen Ausgangsstoffen Kohlendioxid und Wasser erzeugen Pflanzen damit Zuckermoleküle und Sauerstoff. Die Energie, die sie für diesen komplexen Vorgang brauchen, ziehen sie aus dem Sonnenlicht. Könnte der Mensch die Photosynthese nachmachen, hätte das viele Vorteile. Mit der Gratis-Energie der Sonne ließe sich Kohlendioxid aus der Atmosphäre entfernen

CCU Pioneers – Keeping Carbon Circular: Holcim

With 5-8% of global CO₂ emissions coming from cement production, a $300B+ industry is facing multiple challenges. Especially here, Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) could transform CO₂ into methanol, e-fuels, and next-generation building materials. Holcim is strategically integrating Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) into its operations to achieve carbon neutrality in cement and concrete production.

ABO Energy explores hydrogen and synthetic fuel production in Oulu

The German ABO Energy group has been granted a planning reservation to build a hydrogen production plant in Oulu in northern Finland. In the preliminary plan, the new hydrogen plant would have an electrolyser with a maximum capacity of 600 MW. Implementation would take place in 2–3 phases. In addition to hydrogen production, the company

How to Defossilise the Chemical Industry: RCI’s new policy proposals for a Renewable Carbon Future

The European chemical industry, a cornerstone of manufacturing with significant economic impact and a key enabler for many other industries, is at a crossroads. The sector is facing an acute crisis due to global competition, rising energy costs and regulatory burdens. Once a leader in patents and production, Europe now trails behind China and the US,

Econic Signs Strategic Licensing Agreement with Saudi Aramco Technologies Company (SATC) for CO2 Polyols

Econic Technologies, a deep tech company focused on renewable carbon, has signed a global license agreement for strategic rights to Saudi Aramco Technologies Company’s (SATC) CO2 polymer technologies. By incorporating the technology into its existing portfolio, Econic will expand its overall product offering, allowing it to better serve new and existing customers in coatings, adhesives, sealants,
