New, Nature-inspired Concepts for Turning Carbon Dioxide into Clean Fuels. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have previously shown that biological catalysts, or enzymes, can produce fuels cleanly using renewable energy sources, but at low efficiency. Their latest research has...
Breakthrough in Converting CO2 into Fuel Using Solar Energy. A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has shown how solar power can convert carbon dioxide into fuel, by using advanced materials and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy. The breakthrough could be an important piece of the puzzle...
Decarbonisation Tech Instantly Converts CO2 to Solid Carbon. Researchers have developed a smart and super-efficient new way of capturing carbon dioxide and converting it to solid carbon, to help advance the decarbonisation of heavy industries. The research was published in Energy &...
New Ambitious Carbon Target Announced by Ibstock PLC – Net Zero by 2040. Ibstock, a leading UK manufacturer of clay bricks and concrete products, is pleased to announce ambitious new carbon reduction commitments - including a target for the business to be net zero by 2040. Having substantially...
New Computational Approach Predicts Chemical Reactions at High Temperatures. A Columbia University engineering team have invented a method that combines quantum mechanics with machine learning to accurately predict oxide reactions at high temperatures when no experimental data is available;...
CO2 Separation by Special Membranes. Worldwide, CO2-emissions must be reduced drastically and one way is separation of CO2 from industrial waste streams. These membranes do not function properly at high pressure conditions however. Chemical engineer Menno Houben found the cause and optimized...
Scientists Develop Alternative Cement with Low Carbon Footprint. Researchers at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in Germany and the Brazilian University of Pará have developed a climate-friendly alternative to conventional cement. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions can be reduced...
Wadley Group Innovates Material and Coating Process to Protect Ceramic Parts. Airplane manufacturers and their customers in government and industry have invested in the design of new aircraft engines that function at extremely high temperatures, which means the engines can generate more energy...
Mandating the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels in the UK. In the UK, the Department of Transport has proposed the introduction of an obligation on fuel suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint of jet fuel used in the UK, to be achieved through greater use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). ...
