In Saudi Arabia, SABIC launched a new portfolio of bio-based ULTEM™ resins that offer sustainability benefits while delivering exactly the same high performance and processability as incumbent ULTEM materials. These breakthrough polyetherimide (PEI) materials are the first certified renewable high-performance, amorphous polymers available in the industry. Using a mass balance approach, for every 100 kg […]
In Germany, CEMEX has appointed Carbon Clean to work on a FEED study for a ground-breaking carbon capture project at its Rüdersdorf plant in Germany, as part of its Carbon Neutral Alliance at the site. The initial stage of this project aims to capture 100 metric tons per day of CO2 at the plant and […]
In France, after a 4-month study phase involving research, the supply of bio-based materials and transformation tests, Roctool and CEA-Liten teams at INES have been able to implement the first bio-based and 100% recyclable photovoltaic panels. Roctool and CEA-Liten have pooled their know-how to test the implementation of panels with dimensions of 300 mm by […]
In the UK, Irish News reports the City of Belfast is set to launch a two-month trial testing the use of HVO in a dozen city vehicles while the Housing Executive is also thought to have recently launched a small-scale trial using HVO as heating fuel in homes. Roughly two-thirds of homes in Northern Ireland […]
In China, a new electrocatalyst called a-CuTi@Cu converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into liquid fuels. As reported by a team of Chinese researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie, active copper centered on an amorphous copper/titanium alloy produces ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency. A team from Foshan University (Foshan, Guangdong), the University of Science and […]
In the UK, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the World Economic Forum recently launched a jointly developed series of “Enabling Measures Roadmaps for Green Hydrogen” at the UN Climate Conference COP26 in Glasgow. The new toolbox aims to empower policymakers to prioritize policies for green hydrogen and accelerate its deployment at the international […]
