In Germany, 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 the “Air2Chem” project […]
In Germany, Clariant and OMV announced their intended collaboration for the supply of ethylene with a lower carbon footprint. In response to increasing consumer demand for more sustainable options, and with a particular focus on Europe, this partnership will help both companies meet their sustainability targets and deliver on the carbon reduction strategies of their […]
In Germany, at the Gate terminal in Rotterdam, Uniper has become the first shipper to start using the BioLNG production capacity to convert biomethane into BioLNG. The BioLNG produced at the Gate terminal is certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) scheme. The underlying commodity is biogas produced in one of the EU […]
In Germany, Messer is to build a plant for the production of green hydrogen in the Brainergy Park Jülich intermunicipal industrial estate. The business park is designed to promote the topics of “new energies” and “energy transition”. The hydrogen plant will be operated by HyDN GmbH, a joint venture between the district of Düren and […]
In Germany, Reuters reported that Siemens Energy will build a 280-megawatt (MW) green hydrogen electrolysis system for Northern German utility EWE, which is expected to begin operating in 2027. The German government recently handed $4.98 billion of EU-approved subsidies to a series of projects to supply secure and sustainable hydrogen on its road to net-zero […]
In Germany, Envision Group, a leading global green technology company, and DHL Group signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement to foster a comprehensive cooperation in logistics solutions and mutually accelerate the progress of sustainability targets. The partnership covers four main areas: logistics solutions, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), green energy, and the joint development of a “Net […]
In Germany, the new joint project “LignUp” aims to upgrade lignin from a waste product to a recyclable material. The project will receive almost five million euros in funding from the Carl Zeiss Foundation over the next six years as part of the “CZS Breakthroughs” program External link. Specifically, the researchers are focussing on the […]
In Germany, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding the third and final phase of the Kopernikus project P2X (Power-to-X) to sustainably transform the aviation industry. During the three-year funding period, the production of e-Kerosene will be intensively investigated to create a sustainable alternative to fossil kerosene. INERATEC, a leading company […]
In Germany, researchers from the Institute for Solar Fuels at HZB has now investigated the influence of electrolytes on the efficiency of the glycerol oxidation reaction. The results can help to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly production processes. Many studies have already investigated the role of photocatalysts in PEC electrolyzers, while the role of […]
In Germany, Boehringer Ingelheim inaugurated a biomass power plant at its Ingelheim site. With the new power plant, Boehringer Ingelheim said it is optimizing its energy supply and protecting the environment at the same time: Around 50,000 tons of CO2 are saved per year, the company said. Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action […]
