CO2SMOS Project Releases Policy Recommendations for Accelerating CarbonCapture and Utilisation in Europe

As the EU advances its efforts to reduce fossil fuel dependency and foster a circular carbon economy, the CO2SMOS project, a Horizon 2020 initiative funded by the European Union, has undertaken an in-depth analysis of recent EU legislation shaping a policy framework for fossil-free chemicals. Building on these insights, the project recommends a targeted set

Baden-Württemberg: Land investiert 7 Millionen Euro in CO2-Recycling aus der Abluft von Unternehmen

Das Ministerium für Umwelt, Klima und Energiewirtschaft fördert die Errichtung und Umsetzung von Demonstrations- und Pilotanlagen zum Rohstoff- und CO2-Recycling aus Abgas und Abluft unter Einsatz biologischer und biohybrider Technologien. Dafür wurde jetzt ein neues Förderprogramm veröffentlicht. Anträge können ab sofort eingereicht werden. Innovative Lösungen zum Kohlenstoffrecycling aus CO2 „Es wird zunehmend klar, dass wir

Sustainable Aviation Fuel – Key Market Drivers and Production Tech

Aviation contributes 2.5% of global CO2 emissions and 12% of transport emissions, generating over 1 billion tonnes in 2019. While relatively small compared to road transport, aviation is one of the fastest-growing transport sectors, with ICAO forecasting a tripling of international aviation emissions by 2050 from 2015 levels without intervention. In addition, electric and hydrogen propulsion

Jakson Achieves Global First: CO2-to-Methanol Synthesis for NTPC Limited

Jakson Green, a new energy transition platform, has achieved a historic milestone in collaboration with NTPC, successfully synthesizing methanol from captured carbon dioxide. This ground-breaking project is located at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh, India. Conceived and conceptualised by NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), the R&D arm of NTPC Limited, this

Researchers create novel electro-biodiesel more efficient, cleaner than alternatives

Vehicles fueled by diesel lead to substantial carbon emissions that are challenging to decarbonize. In 2022, diesel fuel use made up about one-fourth of total U.S. transportation carbon dioxide emissions and about one-tenth of total energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Joshua Yuan, the Lucy & Stanley Lopata Professor and
