CO2 Capture: Putting the Sea into CCS
The article discusses the development of technologies to capture CO2 from the ocean, focusing on Captura's innovative 'electrochemical black box' technology. This method, developed at the California Institute of Technology, leverages the ocean's natural ability to absorb CO2, offering a scalable solution to climate change and ocean acidification. The process involves using renewable electricity to generate acid and base, which helps remove CO2 from ocean water and restore its pH, minimizing environmental impact.
Fusion industry heavyweights team up to advance fusion technology
Fusion industry leaders, including General Atomics and Tokamak Energy, are collaborating to advance fusion technology, focusing on high temperature superconducting (HTS) technology and the stellarator concept. General Atomics and Tokamak Energy are working on HTS magnet technologies, crucial for tokamak fusion production, while the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics and Proxima Fusion are developing the stellarator concept, which offers potential advantages over tokamaks. These collaborations aim to accelerate the development of fusion energy, with potential applications in various fields, and a first-of-a-kind fusion power plant expected in the 2030s.
LyondellBasell to build industrial-scale advanced recycling plant in Germany
LyondellBasell plans to build its first industrial-scale catalytic advanced recycling plant in Wesseling, Germany, using its MoReTec technology. This molecular recycling technique, developed with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, can recycle various plastic materials into pyrolysis oil, reducing energy consumption and supporting renewable energy use. The plant, expected to be completed by the end of 2025, will have an annual capacity of 50,000 tons, recycling the plastic waste of over 1.2 million German residents. CEO Peter Vanacker emphasized the company's commitment to addressing plastic waste and advancing a circular economy.
Lummus Technologies acquires water and wastewater treatment technologies from Siemens Energy
Lummus Technologies has acquired water and wastewater treatment technologies from Siemens Energy, including intellectual property and research assets. This acquisition includes the Zimpro wet air oxidation (WAO) technology and the PACT system, which are designed to treat industrial wastewater and reduce pollutants. The deal aims to enhance Lummus's technology portfolio, improve energy efficiency, and support sustainable operations for industrial customers. CEO Leon de Bruyn highlighted the importance of this acquisition in meeting environmental regulations and standards.
Making Wind Power More Sustainable
Wind turbine blades, designed for durability, pose recycling challenges at the end of their lifecycle. Carbon Rivers has developed a glass fibre recovery technology that converts blade waste into reusable materials, including renewable crude oil. Another approach by UC Davis researchers involves creating biodegradable blades from bamboo and mycelium. Both methods aim to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability in wind power.
Xampla and 2M awarded Innovate grant to scale up production of biodegradable materials
Xampla, a spin-off from the University of Cambridge, and 2M Group of Companies have been awarded the Innovate UK Smart Grant to scale up the production of Xampla's Morro range of biodegradable materials. The grant will support the manufacturing scaleup at 2M's Milton Keynes site, aiming to replace significant amounts of single-use plastic coatings and reduce waste. Alexandra French, CEO of Xampla, expressed pride in receiving the grant, emphasizing the partnership's potential to bring Morro Coating to market with the support of key customers and 2M's expertise.
IChemE Fellow Andrew Livingston awarded Honorary Professor title
IChemE Fellow Andrew Livingston has been awarded an Honorary Professor title by the University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy (UCTM) in Sofia, Bulgaria, for his contributions to academic staff development and research projects. Livingston, founder of Membrane Extraction Technology (MET), has had a distinguished career in chemical engineering, including pioneering applications in refining crude oil and pharmaceutical purification. He has received numerous awards and currently serves as a professor and vice-principal for Research and Innovation at Queen Mary University of London.
Octopus Energy launches £3bn offshore wind fund with Tokyo Gas
UK government publishes battery strategy
The UK government has released the UK Battery Strategy to establish a competitive battery supply chain by 2030. The strategy, part of the Advanced Manufacturing Plan, aims to support businesses in designing and developing future batteries, strengthening manufacturing supply chains, and promoting a circular economy. It includes 15 action points, such as £2bn funding for zero emissions vehicles and batteries, £11m for technology development winners, and £12m for the Advanced Materials Battery Industrialisation Centre (AMBIC). AMBIC will be located at Warwick Manufacturing Group and CPI at NETPark, funded by the Faraday Battery Challenge. An additional £38m will enhance the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), with a new battery laboratory space expected to be operational in 2024.
Sika's reCO2ver Technology Gains Support for Concrete Recycling and CO2 Sequestration
Sika, a specialty chemicals company, has developed a novel concrete-recycling technology called reCO2ver, which has gained support from Switzerland's Climate Cent Foundation. The technology allows for complete reuse of old concrete while sequestering a significant amount of CO2. The construction sector is a major contributor to carbon emissions, and Sika's innovation aims to reduce this impact by recycling concrete demolition waste and reducing water consumption. The reCO2ver process has been tested in a pilot plant and has shown that new concrete with recycled content performs comparably to new products. Sika is collaborating with South Pole and aligning with the Swiss FOEN to document the climate benefits of the reCO2ver technology. By 2030, Sika aims to have stored around 17,000 tons of CO2 in recycled concrete, contributing to sustainability in construction.
