In the UK, Loughborough University said that researchers from EnerHy, the EPSRC Center for Doctoral Training, have developed an innovative system that turns solar heat into green hydrogen. The team developed a solar farm measurement system and a thermally integrated photovoltaic-electrolyzer designed to improve the efficiency of green hydrogen production. The project, created as part […]
In Michigan, while carbon monoxide (CO) is widely feared as an odorless, deadly household hazard, nature views it quite differently. In the microscopic world, carbon monoxide serves as an essential cellular messenger and a vital lifeline of energy for microbes thriving in harsh environments. To bridge the gap between carbon monoxide’s notorious toxicity and its […]
In Spain, CO₂ Value Europe is proud to be part of UNCOVER, a new project funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe program. Launched in September 2026, UNCOVER aims to bring CO₂ utilization technologies closer to market by demonstrating six CO₂ conversion technologies and one secondary conversion technology in three industrial contexts: waste […]
In Canada, Skyrenu Technologies Inc., a company specializing in CO2 capture2 at low concentration, announces the delivery of a first batch of CO2 captured directly from the air at Secant Fuel, a company developing technologies for the production of synthetic fuels (eFuels) and low-carbon chemicals (eChemicals). This first delivery marks a significant milestone in demonstrating […]
In Brazil, studies evaluating the increase in the proportion of biodiesel mixed with diesel have advanced to a new stage. The Easy Single Road, in Petrópolis, in Rio de Janeiro, received 10,000 liters of B20 and 10,000 liters of B25 for tests with buses that will be accompanied by the National Institute of Technology (INT), […]
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that HyTerra collaborated with research teams from three US universities selected through the Chimaera Fund’s Geologic Hydrogen Site Access Challenge. Studies used exploration data and samples from HyTerra’s Kansas activities to investigate geologic hydrogen generation, migration and accumulation. The report noted that HyTerra will work directly with the […]
In Brazil, researchers are exploring Clostridium bacteria as biological “factories” capable of converting sugarcane-processing residues and biofuel byproducts into higher-value fuels and chemicals. A review published in Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts examines substrates including sugarcane bagasse, vinasse and crude glycerol, and products such as n-butanol, biohydrogen, 1,3-propanediol and butyric acid. The approach could help […]
In Tennessee, University of Tennessee researchers have been using captured carbon dioxide as a feedstock for producing useful fuels and chemicals. The work focuses on developing technologies that can transform CO₂ rather than simply storing it, potentially creating a pathway that combines carbon management with renewable-fuel production. The research remains at the technology-development stage, however, […]
In South Korea, researchers from Chonnam National University, South Korea have found that the environmental impact of biodiesel varies dramatically depending on its feedstock and production pathway. Using a life-cycle assessment of five biodiesel feedstocks, the study published in Applied Energy, shows why climate emissions and air pollution both need to be considered when evaluating […]
In India, Scienmag reports a new review in Ionics examines photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems that use sunlight to convert captured carbon dioxide into liquid methanol, a fuel and chemical feedstock. Researchers highlight recent advances in engineered semiconductor photocathodes, copper-based catalysts and tandem architectures, with some systems achieving methanol Faradaic efficiencies of roughly 90–95%. Bias-free designs can […]
