Avantium and SCGC Advance the Development of PLGA Polyester

Avantium N.V., a leading company in renewable and circular polymer materials, announces the strengthening of its partnership with SCG Chemicals Public Company Limited (“SCGC”), a leading chemical player in Asia and an innovator of chemical innovations and solutions. The companies have signed a multi-year collaboration to pilot the production of PLGA (polylactic-co-glycolic acid). This partnership

Germany: SPIE installs the world’s first industrial-scale CCU facility for a cement plant

SPIE, the independent European leader in multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications, is installing the world’s first industrial-scale Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) facility for the cement industry. The project, commissioned by Linde Engineering, is being carried out at Heidelberg Materials’ Lengfurt cement plant and is set to commence operations in 2025,

SPIE errichtet weltweit erste CCU-Großanlage für Zementwerk

SPIE errichtet im Auftrag von Linde Engineering die weltweit erste CCU-Großanlage (Carbon Capture & Utilisation) im industrietechnischen Maßstab für die Zementindustrie. Sie entsteht im Zementwerk Lengfurt von Heidelberg Materials und soll 2025 mit einer Abscheidekapazität von 70.000 Tonnen CO₂ pro Jahr in Betrieb gehen. Das abgeschiedene und aufbereitete Gas kann dank seiner Reinheit sowohl in

CO2 utilisation as an alternative to permanent sequestration

If we move away from fossil fuels as a source of carbon, the question arises what should then become our source. Lux Research presents an answer: CO2 utilization. This could fulfil the demand for carbon value chains without relying on fossil-based carbon. But regulatory support will still be required. An alternative to sequestration Lux is a

Please submit your abstract and innovation to the leading event in the Renewable Carbon Economy: The “Renewable Materials Conference 2025”, 20-22 September 2025 in Siegburg

Early bird registration, exhibition and workshop booking, as well as submissions for abstracts and innovations for the “Renewable Material of the Year 2025” award are open now – and the first top speakers are announced. In just a few years, the Renewable Materials Conference (RMC) has established itself as the international meeting place for innovators,

Improved catalyst turns harmful greenhouse gases into cleaner fuels, chemical feedstocks

A chemical reaction can convert two polluting greenhouse gases into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high temperature required for the reaction also deactivates the catalyst. A team led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has found a way to thwart deactivation. The strategy may apply broadly to

Marking First Full Year of Operations, Vaulted Deep Secures $32.3 Million Series A Funding Led by Prelude Ventures

Vaulted Deep (“Vaulted”), a biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS) company specializing in durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR), announced today that it has raised $32.3 million in Series A funding. The round was led by new investor Prelude Ventures and returning investors with super pro rata participation including from Lowercarbon Capital, Earthshot Ventures, and WovenEarth Ventures. Additional

Breakthrough in capturing ‘hot’ CO2 from industrial exhaust

Industrial plants, such as those that make cement or steel, emit copious amounts of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas, but the exhaust is too hot for state-of-the-art carbon removal technology. Lots of energy and water are needed to cool the exhaust streams, a requirement that has limited adoption of CO2 capture in some of the

Durchbruch bei der Abscheidung von “heißem” CO2 aus Industrieabgasen

Industrieanlagen, die z.B. Zement oder Stahl herstellen, stoßen große Mengen Kohlendioxid, ein starkes Treibhausgas, aus, aber die Abgase sind zu heiß für moderne Technologien zur CO2-Abscheidung. Für die Abkühlung der Abgase wird viel Energie und Wasser benötigt, was die Einführung der CO2-Abscheidung in einigen der umweltschädlichsten Industrien behindert hat. Jetzt haben Chemiker der University of California,

Monthly news from the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI), November 2024

1) RCI’s Scientific Background Report: On 19 November 2024, the RCI published the Scientific Background Report “Evaluation of Recent Reports on the Future of a Net-Zero Chemical Industry in 2050” which assesses 24 scenarios from 15 studies to envision a net-zero chemical industry by 2050. The analysis anticipates continued growth in chemical production, projecting a 2.4-fold increase in global
