In Germany, RIKEN researchers have found out how light energy harvested by pigments besides chlorophyll is transferred to the molecular site where photosynthesis occurs in cyanobacteria. Green is the color that most people associate with plants, microalgae life and natural environments. That’s because most plants and microalgae use the green pigment chlorophyll to absorb sunlight. […]

Founded in 2022 as a University of Göttingen spin-off, the company told vegconomist the milestone shows that its platform technology can be extended to other animal species. The company targeted roe deer because it […]
In Germany, microorganisms and microalgae can be used to recover valuable metals from electronic waste – in an environmentally friendly, selective manner with potential for industrial application. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB demonstrated this in a study. At the heart of the process is a technique known as bioleaching: […]

In Germany, Stadtwerke Dessau (municipalities of Dessau) have signed a long-term heat offtake agreement with climate-tech company Novocarbo and its parent company Hevella Carbon. As part of this collaboration, Novocarbo plans to develop the Carbon Removal Park Dessau. The agreement covers an annual supply of up to 13.5 gigawatt hours (GWh) of heat, ensuring the […]
In Germany, specialty ingredients company Symrise has made an unspecified strategic equity investment in Colorado’s Bond Pet Foods, a biotechnology firm that uses precision fermentation to produce animal-identical proteins complementing the existing pet food portfolio of Symrise. The partnership supports Symrise’s ambition to develop biotech-enabled ingredients that work better for pets and the planet, strengthening […]
In Germany, alkaline industrial wastewaters from steel or cement production are ideally suited to bind and sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) chemically, safely, and for the long term. This is the result of a study conducted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. Until now, this wastewater has been disposed off into rivers without using its CO2-sequestration capacity. In […]
