Breakthrough in capturing 'hot' CO2 from industrial exhaust

A metal-organic framework is capable of capturing CO2 at extreme temperatures

19-Nov-2024 - Industrial plants, such as those that make cement or steel, emit copious amounts of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas, but the exhaust is too hot for state-of-the-art carbon removal technology. Lots of energy and water are needed to cool the exhaust streams, a requirement that has limited ...

Carbon Capture on Board Ships as a Valuable Transition Technology

28-Oct-2024 - Researchers at TU Graz have evaluated various carbon capture technologies for use in shipping. These technologies will be necessary to achieve the climate targets, but they will realistically not enable complete capturing of greenhouse gases on board. By 2050, maritime shipping should be ...

Start-up aims to revolutionise CO₂ capture and conversion technology

Aerleum raises $6M in seed round

16-Oct-2024 - Aerleum, a pioneering climate tech company specializing in CO₂ capture and utilization, announces the successful close of its $6M seed round, led by 360 Capital and HTGF, with participation from Norrsken, Bpifrance, and Marble. The funding will accelerate the industrialization of Aerleum’s ...

How a carbon central bank can turn Europe into a CO2 “eater”

Carbon removal can become a game changer

19-Sep-2024 - The EU has decided to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. From then on, for every tonne of CO2 still emitted, one tonne would have to be taken out of the atmosphere. A European Carbon Central Bank could play a key role on the way there - and use market-based incentives to set the course for a ...

Cheap and sustainable cleansing of water from heavy metals

Researchers develop filter systems based on lignin

27-Aug-2024 - In order to cleanse wastewater of heavy metals, industry has to resort to highly refined filter technologies. Often, the production of these very technologies is not truly environmentally friendly either. Vienna-based researchers are now developing filter systems based on lignin, a waste product ...

Electrolysis meets "Direct Air Capture"

The "Air2Chem" project is developing an economical process for converting CO2 from the air into chemical base materials such as ethylene or syngas

25-Jul-2024 - In order to achieve its goal of decarbonizing raw material flows, the chemical industries must cover their carbon requirements from sustainable sources. The direct capture of CO2 from the air has hardly played a role so far – mainly due to the high investment and operating costs. The partners in ...

Breakthrough Research Uncovers Hidden Phenomena in Ultra-Clean Quantum Materials

"This situation was very exciting but also puzzling"

27-Jun-2024 - Researchers have reported previously unobserved phenomena in an ultra-clean sample of the correlated metal SrVO3. The study challenges existing theoretical models by providing new experimental insights into these unusual metals. The team demonstrated that high-purity SrVO3 exhibits unique ...

Jena Research Team Receives “Thüringer Forschungspreis”

21-Jun-2024 - For their research into customized 2D materials, a team of four scientists from Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF have been awarded the “Thüringer Forschungspreis” (Thuringian Research Prize). The award for scientific ...

thyssenkrupp Uhde and Johnson Matthey join forces to offer an integrated solution for blue ammonia technology

Demand for ammonia is growing because it’s easier to store and transport than pure hydrogen and is key to decarbonising the world’s power, shipping, and industrial processes

22-May-2024 - thyssenkrupp Uhde and Johnson Matthey (JM) announced they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly offer a fully integrated low carbon (blue) ammonia solution, building on a nearly 25-year ammonia relationship between the companies. In the drive to reduce CO2 emissions, the role of ...
