A team of Canadian researchers has developed a low-cost catalyst that could help manufacturers convert industrial carbon emissions into valuable chemical feedstocks – without relying on expensive precious metals. The innovation, led by Dr. Drew Higgins at McMaster University, combines nickel-zinc carbide particles with nickel-nitrogen-carbon compounds. Higgins explains: “The types of materials that we’re looking at are relatively
From waste to valuable resource: Chemists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method to convert plastic waste into a climate solution for efficient and sustainable CO2 capture. This is killing two birds with one stone as they address two of the world’s biggest challenges: plastic pollution and the climate crisis. As CO2 concentrations in
As marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) technologies continue to advance, there’s emerging interest in using CO2 from direct ocean capture (DOC) as a feedstock for E-fuels. Direct Ocean Capture and the Path to Low-Carbon E-Fuels E-fuels are synthetic fuels produced by combining captured CO2 with green hydrogen, creating a drop-in replacement for fossil fuels in sectors that
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a technological trend; it is a transformative force that is accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable carbon sources in the chemical and materials industry. This represents one of the greatest industrial challenges since the beginning of the industrial revolution, requiring the most advanced digital solutions available.

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ist längst mehr als nur ein technologischer Trend: KI ist eine transformative Kraft, die den Übergang von fossilen Brennstoffen zu erneuerbaren Kohlenstoffquellen in der Chemie- und Werkstoffindustrie beschleunigt. Dies ist eine der größten industriellen Herausforderungen seit Beginn der Industrialisierung und erfordert die fortschrittlichsten digitalen Lösungen. KI ist der Schlüssel zu dieser Transformation.

The call for abstracts is now open for the CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026, taking place on 28–29 April 2026 in Cologne, Germany. This hybrid event consistently attracts over 230 international experts from industry, research, and policy, making it a unique meeting place for advancing Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X technologies. The conference
Die Einreichungsphase für Beiträge zur CO₂-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2026 hat begonnen. Am 28. und 29. April 2026 treffen sich Expertinnen und Experten der internationalen CCU- und Power-to-X-Branche in Köln und online. Im Mittelpunkt stehen neuartige Wege, CO₂ als vielseitigem Rohstoff zu nutzen: von nachhaltigen Kraftstoffen über innovative Chemikalien und Polymere bis hin zur Produktion alternativer
After many years of research, the Mibelle Group, LanzaTech and the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB have achieved a breakthrough in sustainable innovation: With the help of modern biotechnology, the partners have developed a CO2-based ingredient that can replace palm oil in cosmetics and other everyday products. This pioneering technology not only
