Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and from ETH Zurich want to make so-called zeolites more efficient. The classic zeolites, they assert, would even have the potential to make a bioeconomy based on renewable resources possible.
VTT and its business partners have launched a two-year project to develop a concept for a process to capture and utilise carbon dioxide. The aim is to utilise the carbon dioxide produced during bioenergy production as a raw material for speciality chemicals. As certain end products have a long lifecycle, the concept may even lead to negative emissions, that is, products that act as carbon sinks.
Six projects have been selected for funding in the 3rd FACCE SURPLUS call which aims to complete the portfolio of projects and fill remaining research gaps.
The fourth edition of the EU "Raw Materials Week" builds up on a series of events organised by the European Commission addressing the latest news on raw materials in the EU. It will be a unique opportunity for the raw materials community to discuss and exchange on all relevant issues: policy, technology, international cooperation, framework conditions, knowledge base etc.
