New Technology Extracts CO2 from the Atmosphere

It is set to be a game-changer for CO2 capture: The newly developed pilot plant, the size of a truck container, extracts 50 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere per year – and does so with a record low energy requirement of under 2.000 kilowatt-hours per ton. This new pilot plant, the Austrian Pilot Unit 1 (APU1),

Neue Technologie holt CO2 aus der Atmosphäre

Ein Gamechanger für die CO2-Abscheidung soll es werden: Der neuentwickelte Prototyp in Größe eines Lastwagencontainers holt pro Jahr 50 Tonnen CO2 aus der Atmosphäre – und das mit rekordverdächtig niedrigem Energiebedarf von 2.000 Kilowattstunden pro Tonne. Die neu entwickelte Anlage, Austrian Pilot Unit 1 (APU1), wurde letzten Sommer in Betrieb genommen und wird nun sukzessive weiterentwickelt

Monument Chemical Launches Poly-CO2®: High Performance Polyols from Captured Carbon

Monument has begun the first US-based production of polyols from renewable carbon this month at its manufacturing facility in Brandenburg, KY. The new product line of polycarbonate ether (PCE) polyols is based on a process from Econic Technologies that replaces fossil-based feedstocks with captured CO2 and reduces global warming potential by 20-30%. Branded Poly-CO2, Monument’s new line of PCE polyols can

Launch of EMB Future Science Brief on Monitoring, Reporting and Verification for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

A group of internationally renowned marine scientists under the European Marine Board has published the Future Science Brief on ‘Monitoring, Reporting and Verification for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal’. The report is clear: rapid CO2 emissions reduction is the top priority. Carbon Dioxide Removal is not a substitute for emissions reductions; (marine) CDR can only be considered as a potential supplementary measure to

Spielzeug trifft Nachhaltigkeit: Playmobils nachhaltige Kunststoffe

Seit seiner Gründung 1974 ist Playmobil, das zur Geobra Brandstätter Stiftung gehört, eine der beliebtesten Spielzeugmarken Deutschlands. Die Horst-Brandstätter-Gruppe machte im Jahr 2024 zuletzt rund 490 Mio. Euro Umsatz – auch wenn dies einen Rückgang im Vergleich zum Vorjahr bedeutet, ist die Marke bei Eltern und Kindern weiterhin ein Verkaufsschlager. Das nach jahrzehntelangem Geschäft eine

Kawasaki Heavy unveils Japan’s biggest ‘air carbon removal’ pilot, plans megatonne system by 2030

Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries said it has completed one of the country’s largest direct air capture (DAC) demonstration units at its Kobe plant, aiming to accelerate development of technology that removes carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Direct air capture uses chemical processes to pull CO₂ out of ambient air, allowing the captured carbon to be stored

DP CleanTech wins contract for revolutionary 50MWe biomass cogeneration project in Spain

DP CleanTech has been awarded a major contract to design, engineer and deliver a 50MWe biomass boiler and flue gas cleaning system for the La Robla Green Project in Castilla y León, Spain — a landmark initiative set to reshape Europe’s renewable fuels landscape. Spearheaded by Reolum, the €850 million project will combine a 50MWe biomass power plant (Roblum),

From waste to asset: Turning ethanol production CO₂ into jet fuel

The CO2 released from corn during ethanol production could actually be a valuable, underutilized resource for producing aviation fuel rather than a waste byproduct, according to a study published in the SAE International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, Energy, Environment, & Policy. Unlike the CO₂ from coal plants or cement kilns, which requires a lot of energy to

GBL, ICT Mumbai launch pilot plant to convert CO2 into clean fuel alternative

Godavari Biorefineries Limited has inaugurated a pilot plant in Sakarwadi, Maharashtra, to test a technology that converts carbon dioxide into dimethyl ether (DME), a fuel that can substitute liquefied petroleum gas and diesel. The project, developed in partnership with the Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai, marks the first one-step process globally to produce DME directly from
