Konsortium unter INEOS-Leitung verkündet Durchbruch bei Kohlenstoffabscheidung und -speicherung

INEOS und Wintershall Dea als Partner leiten das Konsortium aus 23 Organisationen. Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, jährlich bis zu acht Millionen Tonnen Kohlendioxid sicher abzuscheiden und dauerhaft zu speichern. Dies entspricht 40 Prozent des gesamten dänischen Emissionsreduktionsziels. Ursula von der Leyen, Präsidentin der Europäischen Kommission: „Dies ist ein großer Moment für den grünen Wandel

Six Materials Nominated for the Innovation Award “Renewable Material of the Year 2023”

One way to overcome the industry’s dependence on fossil carbon is to replace crude oil and natural gas with renewable carbon within the existing structures of the chemical industry. Other ways require innovation, the development of new processes, building blocks and materials. This means a new way of thinking about chemistry and materials. Ready-to-use, fossil-free,

Sechs Materialien für den Innovationspreis „Renewable Material of the Year 2023“ nominiert

Ein Weg zur Überwindung der Abhängigkeit der Industrie von fossilem Kohlenstoff ist die Substitution von Erdöl und Erdgas durch erneuerbaren Kohlenstoff innerhalb bestehender Strukturen der chemischen Industrie. Andere Wege erfordern Innovation, die Entwicklung neuer Prozesse, Bausteine und Materialien. Dies setzt ein neues Denken in Chemie und Werkstoffen voraus. Zugleich steigt die Nachfrage nach gebrauchsfertigen, nicht

Value from waste(water) CO₂ – Invitation to the First Stakeholder Workshop on LCA and S-LCA of the WaterProof Project

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) have established themselves as powerful tools to evaluate the environmental and social impacts of products and processes. The use of LCA and S-LCA can help to better understand the sustainability performance of a chosen process, and to identify ways in which it can be improved.

CO2 Electrolysis as an Alternative to Coal

Coal in the Rhenish region is not only an important fuel for power generation. It is also used by the chemical industry to produce important basic chemicals. But by the time of the coal phase-out these substances will have to be obtained from other renewable sources. One example is carbon monoxide, or CO for short,

CO2-Elektrolyse statt Kohle

Die Braunkohle im Rheinischen Revier dient nicht nur der Stromerzeugung. Sie wird auch von der chemischen Industrie genutzt, um wichtige Grundchemikalien herzustellen. Doch spätestens nach dem Kohlestopp müssen diese auf anderen Wegen gewonnen werden. Ein Beispiel ist Kohlenmonoxid, kurz: CO, das für die Produktion von Kunststoffen und Essigsäure verwendet wird. Wissenschaftler vom Forschungszentrum Jülich arbeiten

Development of Technology to Produce Synthetic Gas from Atmospheric Concentration CO2 Using a Transition-metal-free Catalyst

Development of a transition-metal-free dual-function material for CO2 capture and reduction to carbon monoxide Efficient capture of even low-concentration atmospheric CO2 and syngas production without CO2 separation and purification processes The product gas has an extremely low concentration of impurities, making this a big step towards control of syngas compositions suitable to produce liquid fuels and chemicals Japan

Greening the beauty industry

Modern society relies on the products of traditional manufacturing processes: plastics, fuels, solvents, etc. However, these industrial activities release significant volumes of atmosphere-warming CO2 into the air and there is an urgent need to address this problem. “We need to be thinking about how we can turn what is considered a waste stream that has

Consortium Introduces Molten Salt Regeneration System for CCU

UP Catalyst, a leading Estonian nanotechnology company, will, together with a consortium of industry experts develop a revolutionary molten- salt-regeneration technology based on circular-economy principles. The new system has the potential to, significantly reduce waste, and it allows the reuse of carbonate salt up to 100 times. The project, named MoReCCU, has received funding through

RCI Carbon Flows Report: Compilation of supply and demand of fossil and renewable carbon on a global and European level

In the last five years, the mindset around carbon has changed fundamentally. Of course, there is no way around the fact that the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere pose an existential threat to life on Earth. But at the same time, carbon is the main component of our food, the basis of
