Innovation in Carbon Capture Technology

There are significant research efforts aiming to boost the effectiveness of CO2 capturing technology and facilitate deployment of what could be a vital technology in the fight against climate change.

The Key Technologies for Winning the Fight Against Climate Change

Each year, April 22nd marks Earth Day, a worldwide event that aims to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement. To mark Earth Day 2021, here are some of the technologies that IDTechEx believes will be instrumental in winning the fight against climate change.

Consortium Launches Zenid - Sustainable Aviation Fuel from Air

The aviation industry is responsible for 3% of global manmade CO2 emissions and has the challenging objective to reduce these emissions in the next decade significantly. Unlike road transport, aviation cannot switch to electric or hydrogen propulsion yet and therefore depends on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). SAF purely made from air via direct air capture technology and renewable electricity offers a carbon-neutral solution suitable to meet the industry's high demands for renewable fuels in the future.

Sunfire

Sunfire are a German manufacturer of solid-oxide-fuel-cells (SOFC) and solid-oxide-electrolysis-cells (SOEC).

Carbon Engineering

Carbon Engineering is a Canadian clean energy company working to commercialise Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology for capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. In October 2020, IDTechEx Senior Technology Analyst Dr Michael Dent spoke with Carbon Engineering CEO Steve Oldham.

Commercial Plant for Hydrogen Based Renewable Aviation Fuel in Norway

A new European industry consortium headquartered in Oslo, has announced it is to industrialize Power-to-Liquid technology in Norway for the European Market. The new state-of-the-art project will allow the conversion of Norway's extensive renewable electricity resources into renewable fuels.

Carbon-neutral fuels from air and green power

Several challenges associated with the energy transition can be managed by coupling the sectors of electric power and mobility. Green power could be stored in the long term, fuels of high energy density could be used in a carbon-neutral way.

The Hague Airport initiates study for production of renewable jet fuel

The Hague Airport and a European consortium led by EDL Anlagenbau Gesellschaft GmbH will sign a cooperation agreement for a study, which aims at developing a demonstration plant that produces renewable jet fuel from air.
