Turning CO₂ into essential materials

The global textile industry is one of the most environmentally damaging supply chains, contributing up to 8% of global CO₂ emissions, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The textile value chain alone is projected to generate 2.7 billion tons of CO₂ annually by 2030, equivalent to emissions from nearly 230 million passenger vehicles per year. US scientists Neeka and

CO₂ in Rohstoffe verwandeln

Die globale Textilindustrie ist eine der umweltschädlichsten Lieferketten und trägt laut dem Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen (UNEP) bis zu 8% der weltweiten CO₂-Emissionen bei. Allein die textile Wertschöpfungskette wird voraussichtlich bis 2030 jährlich 2,7 Milliarden Tonnen CO₂ erzeugen, was den Emissionen von fast 230 Millionen Autos pro Jahr entspricht. Die US-Wissenschaftler Neeka und Leila Mashouf (28) haben

CO2 to jet fuel: our SAF moment

In an era of escalating climate concerns and energy challenges, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is emerging as a critical component in the decarbonisation of the global aviation sector. Traditional fossil fuels have powered our aircraft for over a century but come at a steep environmental cost. With aviation emissions coming under increasing scrutiny, international mandates

Mission Zero Technologies opens new direct air capture plant in Norfolk to turn CO2 into limestone

Today we opened our direct air capture plant in Norfolk, the world’s first fully integrated DAC-to-building materials production demonstration. This marks the completion of the second of our three systems, following the launch of the UK’s first commercial DAC plant in late 2023, and the beginning of our deployment alongside Deep Sky, in Alberta, Canada, in 2024. Turning building

Svante and Mercer International Advance Carbon Capture Project at Alberta Pulp Mill

Svante Technologies Inc. (Svante), a leader in carbon capture and removal technology, today announced that its joint carbon capture and storage project with Mercer International Inc. (Mercer) has advanced to the Front-end Engineering and Design Phase 2 (FEL-2). Also known as Pre-FEED, this phase involves engineering, cost estimation, and risk analysis to evaluate the project’s

Green Methanol from Waste CO2: Aalborg to Host Pioneering Power-to-X Plant

A significant stride towards a greener future is taking shape in Aalborg, Denmark, as Aalborg Forsyning, Reno-Nord, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) are joining forces to construct a groundbreaking Power-to-X facility. Scheduled to commence operations in 2028, this ambitious project will establish one of the world’s first commercial plants dedicated to producing green methanol from

Country Overshoot Day on 3 May: How methane and CO₂ can help tackle plastic pollution

Country Overshoot Day marks the date each year when a country would have exhausted its annual biocapacity budget – if everyone in the world lived like its population. In Germany, that date in 2025 falls as early as 5 May – more than three months earlier than in the previous year. At Leipzig University’s b-ACTmatter

Country Overshoot Day am 3. Mai 2025: Wie mit Hilfe von Methan und CO₂ der Plastikverschmutzung begegnet werden kann

Der sogenannte „Country Overshoot Day“ markiert jedes Jahr den Tag, an dem das jährliche Biokapazitätsbudget eines Landes aufgebraucht wäre, wenn alle Menschen weltweit so leben würden wie dessen Bevölkerung. In Deutschland fällt dieser Tag 2025 bereits auf den 3. Mai – über drei Monate früher als noch im Vorjahr. Im Forschungs- und Transferzentrum b-ACTmatter der
