Deadline 16 March: Please Submit Your Abstract to the Renewable Materials Conference (RMC)

The Renewable Materials Conference (RMC), 22-24 September 2025 in Siegburg/Cologne (Germany), is the world’s largest conference on innovative and renewable chemicals, plastics and materials. It presents solutions and innovations for replacing fossil carbon with biomass, CO2 utilisation and advanced recycling – the only alternatives to fossil-based materials. The unique concept of showcasing all renewable materials

SEIL Energy and IIT-Madras collaborate to revolutionize carbon capture technology

SEIL Energy India Limited (SEIL), One of the largest independent power producers (IPP) in India, and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, have joined forces to develop a groundbreaking carbon (CO2) capture technology. This innovative project, supported by SEIL’s CSR initiative, has resulted in the creation of ‘Chemogel’, a patented (IIT-Madras) nanoparticle-based solvent that

Tiny copper ‘flowers’ bloom on artificial leaves for clean fuel production

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the University of California, Berkeley, developed a practical way to make hydrocarbons – molecules made of carbon and hydrogen – powered solely by the sun. The device they developed combines a light absorbing ‘leaf’ made from a high-efficiency solar cell material called perovskite, with a copper nanoflower

Wenn Sonnenlicht Kohlenwasserstoffe erzeugt

Forscher der University of Cambridge und der University of California, Berkeley, haben eine praktische Methode entwickelt, um Kohlenwasserstoffe – Moleküle aus Kohlenstoff und Wasserstoff – allein mit Hilfe der Sonne herzustellen. Das von ihnen entwickelte Gerät kombiniert ein lichtabsorbierendes „Blatt“ aus einem hocheffizienten Solarzellenmaterial namens Perowskit mit einem Kupfer-Nanoblüten-Katalysator, um Kohlendioxid in nützliche Moleküle umzuwandeln.

Syensqo and Ardent announce strategic partnership to accelerate carbon capture innovation

Syensqo and Ardent Process Technologies (Ardent) today announced the formalization of their strategic partnership, building upon more than two years of successful collaboration in advancing carbon capture and olefin-paraffin separation solutions. These technologies – known as “Point source carbon Capture” – are used to capture CO2 emissions from the production source, such as industrial facilities,

HyLion network: e-methanol for CO2-reduced supply chains

The overarching aim of the HyLion network is to establish a transnational, European end-to-end supply chain for CO2-reduced hydrogen and e-methanol. The plan is to produce e-methanol in Scotland and supply it for various applications in the UK and Europe – including Germany. The management and IT consultancy MHP provides strategic and operational advice on

Assessment of social and cultural factors in CCU-technology uptake in urban communities and developing countries

When it comes to innovate technologies like Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) solutions the uptake of relevant stakeholder groups can determine the success and transferability. The EU-funded research project WaterProof is developing an electrochemistry based CO2-conversion technology transforming CO2 from waste incineration and wastewater treatment facilities into formic acid. To ensure high transferability of this technology,

Avantium R&D Solutions to provide adsorption testing units to Climeworks for the capture of carbon dioxide from air

Avantium N.V., a leader in renewable and circular polymer materials, announces that it has entered into an agreement with Climeworks AG, a pioneer in Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. Under the agreement, Climeworks will acquire another advanced high-throughput adsorption testing unit from Avantium R&D Solutions. This strategic step aims to accelerate the large-scale deployment of

Arkema and OOYOO LTD. partner to develop gas separation membranes for carbon capture

Revolutionizing CO2 Separation for Advanced Membrane Technology Technologies for CO2 separation and recovery have gained enormous attention these days because of their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help protecting the planet. Once isolated and purified, CO2 can be processed downstream into several industrial chemicals such as carbonates, fertilizers, dry ice, and fuels. Gas separation technologies will thus play

KelpEat introduces Solein®-powered protein snacks

Solein® takes another step towards larger–scale commercial use as KelpEat, the pioneering Italian food innovator dedicated to revolutionising sustainable nutrition, introduces a Solein-powered high–protein snack. KelpEat will present the product crafted with EU–farmed seaweed and Solein – the microbial protein produced out of thin air – in the Pitti Taste food fair in Florence 8-10 February. By using Solein as an ingredient in their crackers, KelpEat is pushing the boundaries of sustainable food production. The microbial
