Mehr Innovation, weniger Abhängigkeit durch Circular Economy: Landesregierung legt Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie vor

Wer Wettbewerbsfähigkeit sichern und Resilienz steigern will, muss seine Wirtschaft zirkulär gestalten. Das ist die Idee der Circular Economy: Sie setzt auf ein Design, bei dem Produkte und Dienstleistungen von Anfang an so entwickelt werden, dass sie möglichst lange genutzt, repariert und ihre Materialien dauerhaft im Kreislauf gehalten werden. Mit der ersten Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie für Nordrhein-Westfalen

Worley Awarded Engineering Contract for D-CRBN’s Renewable Syngas Demonstration Plant

Worley has been awarded the engineering design contract for D-CRBN’s renewable syngas demonstration plant in Antwerp, Belgium. The plant will use D-CRBN’s proprietary plasma technology to convert CO₂ and biomethane into feedstock for fuels and chemicals. The demonstration plant is designed to produce approximately 200 tonnes of renewable syngas per year. Renewable syngas is a

Plasma Activation Supercharges Copper Electrocatalysis to Turn CO2 Into Fuels

Turning carbon dioxide back into useful chemicals has long been one of the most tantalizing goals of the clean-energy transition. Now, a team of researchers at Yale University and the University of Antwerp reports a hybrid plasma–electrocatalysis platform that dramatically expands what copper electrodes can do with CO2 and carbon monoxide, boosting the production of

Holcim’s Eco2fly carbon capture project takes key e-SAF step

Holcim’s Eco2fly carbon capture project at its Villaluenga de la Sagra cement plant in Toledo, Spain, has taken a further step forward with a new agreement supporting the production of synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF). Developed by Holcim, Eco2fly Power and Exolum, the project is expected to capture around 700,000tpa of CO2 from the cement

WaterProof Workshop: From Waste(water) CO₂ to Formic Acid

On 22 October 2026, the EU-funded WaterProof project will host its final workshop at Science Park Amsterdam, bringing together young researchers, students, PhD candidates and young professionals interested in Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and CO₂ valorisation. The workshop is designed particularly for early-career researchers and students who would like to deepen their knowledge of

Defossilisation Made Visible: Why OK Renewable Is Becoming the Reference Label for Renewable Carbon Products

The transition to a climate-neutral and circular economy requires the replacement of virgin fossil carbon with renewable carbon derived from biomass, captured carbon, and recycling streams. As regulatory expectations increase, companies must not only improve product sustainability but also communicate their achievements transparently and credibly. The OK renewable certification scheme, independently verified by TÜV AUSTRIA,

From Pollution to Performance: On Scales the First EVA Midsole Made Using Captured Carbon Emissions to Over a Million

Today, the Swiss premium sportswear brand On launches the Cloud X 5, one of the brand’s most popular footwear styles with a midsole featuring CleanCloud™. A breakthrough technology with more than 80% lower modeled carbon impact than conventional fossil-based EVA under the LCA’s credit approach. This marks the first time a sportswear brand has successfully
