In India, The Print reported that Dover India and RV College of Engineering (RVCE), have announced a strategic partnership to establish a state-of-the-art laboratory in Materials and Component Reliability Testing under the Centre for Hydrogen and Green Technology, a center of excellence at RVCE. The lab, to be housed within the RVCE campus, is poised […]
In China, a team from Shaanxi Normal University has developed an innovative catalyst that efficiently transforms this low-value waste stream into glyceric acid—a high-value chemical used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food industries, and as a precursor for biodegradable polymers. Bio-diesel production generates approximately 10% glycerol by weight, creating a significant surplus as global biodiesel adoption increases. […]
In Finland, VTT has now developed a biodegradable solar cell module power source in an international green electronics research project. The solar cell module developed by VTT is so small and light that it can be attached directly to, for example, the stem of a cultivated plant or a large leaf. The cell is approximately […]
In Switzerland, the cement industry produces around eight percent of global CO₂ emissions – more than the entire aviation sector worldwide. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed an AI-based model that helps to accelerate the discovery of new cement formulations that could yield the same material quality with a better carbon footprint. […]
In Illinois, a research lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has achieved another milestone using light-driven enzymatic reactions to convert simple biological building blocks into valuable chemicals. The researchers, part of the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI), developed a clean, efficient way to make complex chemicals called chiral ketones through photocatalysis […]
In the UK, Open Access Government reported that researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have made significant discoveries in the quest to produce green hydrogen efficiently using sunlight The team has developed a triple-layered material that enhances the performance of water-splitting reactions, a crucial step in the production of hydrogen, according to the report. These […]
In Australia, a collaborative project led by the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) is aiming to accelerate Australia’s transition to net-zero by transforming dairy waste and duckweed into scalable, sustainable biofuels. Backed by nearly A$200,000 through the Australian Government’s Australia’s Economic Accelerator (AEA) Ignite program, the project will develop scalable technology to convert nutrients from […]
In Texas, team of researchers at Rice University has discovered a surprisingly simple method for vastly improving the stability of electrochemical devices that convert carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals, and it involves nothing more than sending the CO 2 through an acid bubbler. Their study, published in Science, addresses a major bottleneck in […]
In Belgium, last week a first-of-its-kind workshop hosted by CBE JU brought together leading researchers and industry voices to explore how bio-based solutions are reshaping the future of farming and packaging across Europe The Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) held its inaugural cluster workshop, bringing together around 60 experts from over 30 EU-funded […]
In the UK, from direct air capture to farming smarter and reforesting the tropics, carbon drawdown is no longer the stuff of academic journals or green tech expos, it’s the frontline of our collective climate response. But which solutions are actually viable and which are energy-intensive distractions dressed up in eco-hype? A Comprehensive Guide to […]
