Chinese scientists convert CO2 into nutritious food with 74% protein yield


A groundbreaking study has unveiled an innovative method to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and electricity into single-cell protein (SCP).  This breakthrough bioprocess holds promise not only for food security but also for addressing environmental challenges related to greenhouse gas emissions.  Conducted by researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University and the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, both

What you need to know about carbon capture, utilization and storage


To contain the damage of climate change, reducing emissions and switching to renewable energy sources will not be enough. Removing some of the excess carbon dioxide warming our planet is critically important; however, current methods for human-directed carbon capture are expensive and inefficient. To support the development of new carbon capture technologies, nine Cornell researchers

Enhancing Biomass Project Economics with CO2 Market Opportunities


The U.S. merchant CO2 industry represents well over 20 million metric tons of consumption among a wide range of applications far beyond the obvious such as beverage carbonation, firefighting and chilling with dry ice. In fact, the lion’s share of usage has been dedicated to cryogenic freezing, chilling and gas flush applications in food processing,

Inorganic and biocatalysts work together to reduce CO2


In order to recover valuable substances from CO2, it must be reduced in many individual steps. If electrocatalysis is used for this, many potentially different potential molecules are formed, which cannot necessarily be used. Biocatalysts, on the other hand, are selective and only produce one product – but they are also very sensitive. An international

Anorganische und Biokatalysatoren reduzieren gemeinsam CO2


Um aus CO2 wertvolle Stoffe zurückzugewinnen, muss es in vielen einzelnen Schritten reduziert werden. Nutzt man dafür die Elektrokatalyse, bilden sich dabei viele potenziell verschiedene Moleküle, die man nicht unbedingt nutzen kann. Biokatalysatoren dagegen sind selektiv und stellen nur ein Produkt her – dafür sind sie aber auch sehr empfindlich. Ein internationales Forschungsteam um Prof. Dr.

Biomass Demand for Transport Fuels, Aviation and Shipping up to 2050 and Implications for Biomass Supply to the Chemical Sector


Following the Green Deal, the EU is leading the way in transforming its transport sector towards climate neutrality. The current transport regulations provide a unique long-term horizon for sustainable carbon-based fuels in aviation and shipping through the defined quotas, in particular for biomass covered by Annex IX, and synthetic CO2-based fuels.  A new report by

CO2 als Rohstoff: Baustein einer klimaneutralen Kohlenstoffwirtschaft


In der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung ist Kohlenstoff – in Form von CO2 – vor allem ein Abfallprodukt der Verbrennung fossiler Energieträger, das den Klimawandel vorantreibt und deshalb so weit wie möglich vermieden werden sollte. Kohlenstoff ist aber auch ein unverzichtbarer Rohstoff, etwa in der chemischen Industrie: Er steckt in Kunststoffen, Waschmitteln, Kosmetika und vielen anderen Vor-,
