How the chemical industry can meet the climate goals
07-Apr-2020
ETH researchers analysed various possibilities for reducing the net CO2 emissions of the chemical industry to zero. Their conclusion? The chemical industry can in fact have a carbon-neutral future. Switzerland’s Federal Council has decided that the country should become carbon-neutral by 2050. ...
The winners of the innovation award “Best CO2 Utilisation 2020”
02-Apr-2020
At nova-Institute’s first online conferences on PtX and Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU), 50 speakers presented and discussed the future of aviation fuels and carbon dioxide as feedstock! In the face of the current crisis, nova-Institute decided to defy the circumstances and found a new ...
From Greenhouse Gas to a High-tech Resource
26-Mar-2020
At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the NECOC research project is aimed at building a unique test facility for active reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The world’s first container-scale facility of this type is to convert CO2 contained in ambient air into highly pure carbon ...
Closing the carbon cycle to stop climate change
Defects in nanosilica can save planet earth from global warming
20-Mar-2020
An excessive amount of carbon dioxide is the main cause of climate change. One of the best approaches is to capture and convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuel such as methane. On the other hand, a sustainable way to solve the energy problem is to generate alternative energy source, however, ...
3D Hierarchically Porous Nanostructured Catalyst Helps Efficiently Reduce CO2
17-Mar-2020
KAIST researchers developed a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchically porous nanostructured catalyst with carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) conversion rate up to 3.96 times higher than that of conventional nanoporous gold catalysts. This new catalyst helps overcome the existing ...
Sustainable use of CO2 using a modified bacterium
13-Mar-2020
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam-Golm, led by Dr. Arren Bar-Even, has succeeded in reprogramming the diet of the bacterium E. coli in such a way that it can use formic acid or methanol as its sole source of nutrition. These simple organic ...
New method converts carbon dioxide to methane at low temperatures
02-Mar-2020
A new method developed by a team of Waseda University scientists led by Professor Yasushi Sekine may contribute to reducing the use of fossil fuels and help prevent global warming in the long-run. The conversion of carbon dioxide to valuable chemicals such as methane has drawn great attention for ...
CO2 tracking in space
27-Feb-2020
CO2 concentrations in the air continue to rise rapidly, and a rapid reduction in man-made emissions is becoming increasingly important. In order to assess the effectiveness of political measures, timely and reliable emission levels are needed. However, current methods are costly. The European ...
New catalyst recycles greenhouse gases into fuel and hydrogen gas
20-Feb-2020
Scientists have taken a major step toward a circular carbon economy by developing a long-lasting, economical catalyst that recycles greenhouse gases into ingredients that can be used in fuel, hydrogen gas, and other chemicals. The results could be revolutionary in the effort to reverse global ...
Visualizing chemical reactions
On the way to synthetic fuels
10-Jan-2020
Researchers at the joint EPFL-Empa lab in Sion have developed a reactor system and an analysis method that has allowed them to observe the real-time production of synthetic natural gas from CO2 and H2 for the first time. Infrared (IR) thermography is used to determine the temperature of humans ...
