Researchers make clean biofuels from thin air
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a solar-powered reactor that converts captured CO2 and plastic waste into sustainable fuels and other valuable chemical products. In tests, CO2 was converted into syngas, a key building block for sustainable liquid…
UPB Biochemicals works with universities to develop bio circular materials
UPM Biochemicals and Central Saint Martins (CSM), University of the Arts London (UAL), are embarking on a ground-breaking design collaboration to demonstrate how multiple industries can make the urgent shift to renewable, circular materials in their products.
Canadian startup to turn GHG into SAF using synbio
Canada-based startup SynBioBlox is using synthetic biology – a way of engineering living cells that can convert greenhouse gases into useful products like sustainable jet fuel – to tackle the issue of GHG emission and mitigation.
Xtellar debuts industry’s first flexible biobased EVA pellets
Xtellar, a market leader in 3D printing materials innovation formed by combining Braskem’s 3D materials division and Taulman3D, has introduced an industry-first for large-format 3D printing.
Bio-based technologies in climate adaptation: food, water, and feedstock
Bio-based technologies and materials are often seen as tools for climate mitigation - as strategies to avoid greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming.
Fish farms can become biogas producers
Digesting fish waste can allow circular fish and vegetable farms (aquaponics) to produce biogas that can be fed back into the energy system of these farms. This also generates excellent nutrition for plants, according to new research from the University…
