• CO₂ Reduction Potential of the Chemical Industry through Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU)
  

  Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI), CO2 Value Europe (CVE) and nova-Institute publish a study showing the CO2 reduction potential of the chemical industry through CCU. Today, the production of chemicals and derived materials heavily relies on the use of fossil carbon. Industrial processes need hydroc more

• Clean production processes in the chemical industry
  

  Oil and gas shortages are not only pushing up the prices of gas and petrol, but also plastics, medicines and cosmetics. To make our society less dependent on fossil fuels and combat climate change, the chemical industry needs to change radically. In recent years, TU Delft and TNO have laid the found more

• Almost all chemicals burden the planet
  

  For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have calculated in absolute figures the extent to which the production of chemicals is currently interfering with nature worldwide – and the results are staggering. In addition to greenhouse gas emissions, the new method also takes land use and freshwate more

Natural vs. Man-Made Chemicals

The term ‘chemophobia’ has been used on social media amongst chemists with increasing regularity over the past year. Defined as ‘a fear of chemicals’, more specifically it refers to the growing tendency for the public to be suspicious and critical of the presence of any man-made (synthetic) chemical more

• A versatile biosynthetic approach to amide bond formation

  The development of versatile and sustainable catalytic strategies for amide bond formation is a major objective for the pharmaceutical sector and the wider chemical industry. Herein, we report a biocatalytic approach to amide synthesis which exploits the diversity of Nature's amide bond forming enzy more

• Enhanced H2 Evolution from Photocatalytic Cellulose Conversion Based on Graphitic Carbon Layers on TiO2/NiOx

  Hydrogen evolution from biomass via photo¬catalytic processes is potential but still challenging in chemical industry. Herein, we reported an enhanced photoreforming of biomass was achieved by loading a graphitic carbon layer on the TiO2/NiOx nanoparticles. Glucose and polyethylene glycol were used more

• A novel low-thermal-budget approach for the co-production of ethylene and hydrogen via the electrochemical non-oxidative deprotonation of ethane

  The oversupply of ethane, a major component of natural gas liquids, has stimulated the wide applications of ethylene since the shale gas revolution. However, ethylene production is energy-intensive and represents the most energy-consuming single process in the chemical industry. In this communicatio more

• Translation
  

  The structure of the big chemical and pharmaceutical companies has changed. Traditional centralised research departments conducting fundamental research have fallen victim to economic considerations. In exchange, young, dynamic start-up enterprises are increasingly brightening up the scene. This boosts the development of new international co-operation models for the conversion of scientific ideas and findings into new products. more
