World’s first biodegradable plastic produced from CO2 emissions in Finland

Fortum Recycling & Waste, a leading waste management and circular solutions company from Finland, has succeeded in producing biodegradable plastic from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from waste incineration at its plant in Riihimäki, Finland. This breakthrough, based on carbon capture and utilization (CCU), is a significant step towards reducing and utilizing industrial carbon dioxide emissions.

LanzaTech Awarded $3 Million from U.S. Department of Energy to Advance Conversion of Waste CO2 into Valuable Chemicals

LanzaTech Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNZA) (“LanzaTech” or the “Company”), the carbon recycling company transforming waste carbon into sustainable fuels, chemicals, materials, and protein, has been awarded $3 million by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), as part of a broader $29 million investment program to advance its

New report on carbon farming in the European forestry sector

Forest management in Europe requires a long-term, sustainable approach, moving beyond the current focus on short-term profit gains. A new EFI report launched today details how carbon farming – a set of agricultural practices that help capture and store carbon dioxide in soil and plants – can be best managed to maximise its climate potential and mitigate

Regulatory and technological advances in CO2 shipping

Onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) and CO2 sequestration are major topics of 2024, with technological developments accelerating adoption across the maritime industry. At the same time, IMO is working to develop a regulatory framework in response to member requests. Several regulatory initiatives are being led by IMO’s Intersessional Working Group on Greenhouse Gases (ISWG-GHG)

Blue carbon: an excellent way to store carbon dioxide

Ocean habitats play a key role in storing carbon from the atmosphere; but until now, nobody has known exactly how much ‘blue carbon’ ends up in kelp, seagrass meadows, salt marshes and sediment in the seabed. Now, we tend to damage this carbon storage: by activities such as commercial trawling and destroying coastal wetlands. A new area of

In step toward solar fuels, durable artificial photosynthesis setup chains two carbons together

A key step toward reusing CO2 to make sustainable fuels is chaining carbon atoms together, and an artificial photosynthesis system developed at the University of Michigan can bind two of them into hydrocarbons with field-leading performance. The system produces ethylene with efficiency, yield and longevity well above other artificial photosynthesis systems. Ethylene is a hydrocarbon
