CEMEX and Synhelion Achieve Breakthrough in Cement Production with Solar Energy. CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) and Synhelion announced the successful production of the world’s first solar clinker, the key component of cement, a significant step towards developing fully solar-driven cement...
Smashing it in Sustainable Ceramics. Ceramic industry producers now need to become carbon neutral by 2050 and still have a lot to do, but with technology like heat exchangers on the horizon, that’s looking like a more realistic goal. Closeted away in the Northern Italian town of Pavullo, Atlas...
Common Clay Materials May Help Curb Methane Emissions. Methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and it has a pronounced effect within first two decades of its presence in the atmosphere. In the recent international climate negotiations in Glasgow (COP 26), abatement of...
Gold Solution to Catalysis Grand Challenge. A simple, low-cost method of directly converting natural gas into useful chemicals and fuels, using the precious metal gold as a key ingredient, has been proposed by researchers at Cardiff University in collaboration with researchers at Lehigh...
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...
Scrubbing Carbon Dioxide from Smokestacks for Cleaner Industrial Emissions. An international team co-led by an Oregon State University chemistry researcher has uncovered a better way to scrub carbon dioxide from smokestack emissions, which could be a key to mitigating global climate change. ...
Carbon-capturing Material Invented in Alberta Could Help Industry Reduce Emissions and Costs. An team from the University of Alberta's Faculty of Engineering characterized a CO2-capturing microporous material developed by a group led by George Shimizu at the University of Calgary that attracts...
Understanding Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage. As the world searches for practical ways to decarbonise our activities and mitigate associated climate change, approaches to alternative energy are hampered by the intermittent nature of energy sources, such as solar and wind. One...
