In Austria, OMV officially inaugurated its flagship ReOil and electrolyzer facilities at the Schwechat refinery near Vienna. The proprietary ReOil chemical recycling plant converts hard-to-recycle plastics into virgin-quality products, driving circularity and reducing environmental impact. The new 10 MW electrolyzer facility has a production capacity of up to 1,500 tons of green hydrogen annually and […]
In Austria, OMV announced the successful start-up of its 10 megawatts green hydrogen production plant, located at the Schwechat refinery near Vienna, the largest of its kind in Austria. Approximately EUR 25 million have been invested in the facility, which has the capacity to produce up to 1,500 metric tons of green hydrogen per year. […]
In Austria, Bright Renewables will build a carbon capture and CO2 liquefaction system for EnergieWerk Ilg GmbH in Dornbirn, Austria. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the waste gas of EnergieWerk’s wood-fired power plant will be captured and liquefied for a wide range of industrial uses. The system is to be commissioned at the end of July […]
In Austria, OMV and Airbus have signed a memorandum of understanding to advance the decarbonization of the aviation industry through Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The partnership aims to support the reduction of CO2 emissions in the aviation sector, with SAF playing a pivotal role in achieving the goal of net carbon neutrality by 2050. SAF […]
In Austria, researchers at the BOKU University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences are leading an EU-funded project to manufacture new materials from nutshell. The project, dubbed PUZZLE MATERIAL, is a successor to the SCATAPNUT initiative, a five-year research project that found that nut shells, like pistachio and walnut, contain cells with unique interlocking structures […]
In Austria, The Lenzing Group has licensed its biobased acetic acid process to C.P.L. Prodotti Chimici srl for use in textile dying. Under the terms of the deal, Lenzing’s biobased acetic acid, which is a byproduct of pulp production, will be utilized by Oniverse, the parent company of the popular fashion brand Calzedonia, for dyeing […]
In Austria, researchers at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the COMET K1 Centre LEC (Large Engines Competence Center) have evaluated the feasibility of current CO2 capture technologies for different types of ships in the “CCS on Ships” research project. For its investigation, the team used the LEC ENERsim software developed at the LEC, […]
In Austria, eFuels leader Infinium and Borealis, a leading supplier of advanced and sustainable plastic solutions, have entered into an agreement to enable the production of low-carbon-footprint plastics generated from waste carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. These plastics, known as polyolefins, are commonly used in manufacturing consumer goods […]
In Austria, chemical giant BASF, the University of Graz, and the Austrian Research Centre of Industrial Biotechnology have developed a new, computer-assisted model to optimize efficiency of enzyme-based production processes and, in turn, enable new biocatalytic production processes to be scaled up faster from the lab to industrial manufacturing. BASF uses enzymes to make products […]
In Austria, a new IIASA-led study offers the first detailed estimates of land use change emissions for six sustainable aviation fuel production pathways. The authors focused on both food and non-food raw materials used to produce biofuels, using trusted global data sources to provide fine-scale emissions data. The study, which has been published in the […]
