CDOP: New Carbon Data Standards Initiative to Aid and Scale Carbon Markets

A group of 30 leading businesses, nonprofits and public sector organizations have joined forces to help facilitate and scale carbon markets by launching an open, multi-stakeholder initiative to develop a protocol that harmonizes the definitions and rules that standardize data describing carbon crediting projects and carbon credits across markets, geographies and activity types. The group’s Carbon

Solar-powered device captures carbon dioxide from air to make sustainable fuel

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, say their solar-powered reactor could be used to make fuel to power cars and planes, or the many chemicals and pharmaceuticals products we rely on. It could also be used to generate fuel in remote or off-grid locations. Unlike most carbon capture technologies, the reactor developed by the

Homeostasis raises $1.2M to synthesize American-made graphite from waste CO2

Homeostasis, an advanced materials startup in Washington state, announced today a successful Pre-Seed fundraise of $600,000 plus matching funds from the Washington Department of Commerce. Investments come from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, Kayak Ventures and angel investors. Homeostasis addresses a critical vulnerability in America’s industrial supply chain: our nation’s dependence on foreign sources for high-purity engineered graphite.

Benchmarking selective capture of trace CO2 from C2H2 using an amine-functionalized adsorbent

Purifying C2H2 by removing trace CO2 is critically needed yet challenged by their analogous physical properties. Herein, we report a commercial resin adsorbent HP20 (Diaion® HP-20 Resin) loaded with polyethyleneimine (PEI@HP20) which selectively captures trace CO2 and excludes C2H2. PEI@HP20 possesses a high CO2 adsorption capacity (4.35 mmol/g) at 100 kPa and 298 K and a record CO2/C2H2 uptake ratio compared with all

Electrochemical CO₂ Conversion: Transforming Emissions into Valuable Chemicals

The urgency of smart carbon management The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere is a major driver of global warming, prompting the urgent need for innovative solutions to mitigate climate change. Among the various strategies exploring CO2 utilisation, electrochemical CO₂ conversion stands out as a promising technology. This process uses electricity to transform

Carbyon: the TNO spin-off innovating in CO2 filtration technology

One day as Hans De Neve was working at TNO, he had a brilliant idea for an innovative CO2 filter. With TNO’s support, he founded the cleantech start-up Carbyon, which has since grown into a thriving company. With 50 dedicated employees, Carbyon is already building its first machine. ‘Our mission is to capture billions of

Osaka University, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Mitsui Chemicals Successfully Synthesize Methanol and Para-xylene From CO2

Osaka University’s (Suita, Osaka; President: NISHIO Shojiro) Graduate School of Engineering Science, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (Tokyo: 7012; President: HASHIMOTO Yasuhiko) and Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (Tokyo: 4183; President & CEO: HASHIMOTO Osamu) today announced that they have successfully conducted demonstration tests of methanol and para-xylene synthesis using CO2 as a feedstock. The tests were conducted as

Carbon2Chem® erhält Förderbescheid über 50 Millionen Euro

Das von thyssenkrupp in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Max-Planck-Institut für Chemische Energiekonversion (MPI-CEC) und dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Umwelt-, Sicherheits- und Energietechnik UMSICHT koordinierte Verbundprojekt Carbon2Chem® geht in die dritte Phase. Im Fokus des 2016 gestarteten Vorhabens steht die Frage, wie aus Hüttengasen der Stahlproduktion wertvolle chemische Vorprodukte – unter anderem für Kraftstoffe, Kunststoffe oder Düngemittel –

Carbon2Chem® awarded 50 Euro million research grant

Carbon2Chem®, a collaborative project coordinated by thyssenkrupp in close cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT, is now entering its third phase. The research initiated in 2016 is working to answer one overarching question: How can blast furnace gases
