💥 The chemical industry, a $6 trillion sector and the third-largest industrial emitter of CO2 due to its high energy consumption, influences every facet of our daily lives—from our food and clothing to electronics. With 90% reliant on oil or natural gas as feedstock, it poses a formidable challenge for decarbonization. This is why we are very excited to have invested in Again —a biotech firm that captures and transforms CO2 into valuable chemicals, reducing dependence on traditional feedstocks and converting them into recyclable plastics. Founded in 2021 by Maximilian Kufner and Dr. Torbjørn Ølshøj Jensen, Again builds on pioneering research led by Professor Alex Toftgaard Nielsen at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability at DTU - Technical University of Denmark, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (#MIT) and Stanford University. Again 's scalable technology, demonstrated at their Copenhagen plant, produces carbon-negative chemicals efficiently and cost-competitively, marking our 🥇 first Danish investment. With support from HV Capital, GV (Google Ventures), and existing investors, ACME Capital, Atlantic Labs, and Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (#EIFO), Again is expanding globally, enhancing sustainability across industries like adhesives and plastics.

[Meet] Mr Tshepo Mangoele, the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of LignOrganic. They won the 2023 NSTF-South32 Innovation Award: Small, Medium and Micro Enterprise (SMME) proudly sponsored by the National Intellectual Property Management Office (NIPMO) since 2019. The organisation was recognised for their revolutionary biomass conversion technology, that is helping to replace chemicals derived from fossil fuels with biochemicals such as lignin, which they produce, and has successfully formulated and commercialised as a skin care brand. The lignin he precipitated in his kitchen is indeed very valuable, with applications in UV-resistant cosmetics, fuels, construction and agriculture. He said: “Our work is important as we are helping the world move from using fossil fuels to using more plant-based products.” Read more about how he built his life-changing science-based business from ground: https://lnkd.in/gaE8huUG #NSTFawards2023 #ScienceOscars #STEMcareers #STEMstudies #Science #Engineering #Technology #Innovation #Sciencecareers #STEMrolemodels #Research #Development

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland have unlocked the potential to turn wastewater from the whisky industry into a #greenhydrogen source. The team developed nanoscale materials that utilize distillery wastewater to produce carbon-free green hydrogen. Typically, the process of creating green hydrogen consumes massive amounts of fresh water, about 20.5 billion liters annually. In contrast, the team's innovation aims to repurpose the one billion liters of wastewater generated by distilleries each year. Dr. Sudhagar Pitchaimuthu Ph.D., FRSC highlighted the importance of reducing fresh water use and leveraging waste materials for sustainable practices. The nanoscale material, a nickel selenide nanoparticle, enables distillery wastewater to replace fresh water in the green hydrogen production process, showing promising results in research. This breakthrough not only reduces the freshwater footprint associated with green hydrogen production but also aligns with global efforts to utilize resources more sustainably for clean energy. The next steps include developing an electrolyser prototype and scaling up production of the nickel selenide nanoparticles, emphasizing the potential of this innovative process. #Sustainability #GreenHydrogen #Innovation #EnvironmentalScience

Thanks to the ARKANCE team for the opportunity to outline examples of Scion's work and partnerships across the forestry, industrial biotech and advanced manufacturing sectors. The global imperative to transition away from fossil fuels and petrochemicals to sustainable biobased alternatives is a huge opportunity for New Zealand. Our natural competitive advantage around growing sustainable biomass combined with world leading science and technology expertise, linked with an emerging biotechnology and biomanufacturing sector, is a generational opportunity to create new levels of prosperity from this transformation. Through science, technology and innovation that is useful, usable and used we can drive innovation and growth to create economic value and contribute to beneficial environmental and social outcomes. #circulareconomy #bioeconomy #circularbioeconomy #science #technology #innovation #manufacturing #biotechnology #cleantech #cleantechnology #biorefinery #sustainability #circularity #circulardesign

The #HorizonEU #WaterProofProject was concisely explained by the gorgous Pegah Shakeri, PhD in her talk at #2024CCU where she, besides others, elaborated on the electrodes used for CO2-conversion in WaterProof's innovative electrochemical process. You can still find her at the booth by Coatema Coating Machinery GmbH at the end of day two of the CO2-based fuels and chemicals conference! WaterProof aims at closing the waste(water) carbon loop by creating a novel biorefinery concept converting CO2 emissions from urban waste treatment facilities into valuable green consumer-products. The objective is a technology resulting in a GHG reduction based on CO2 utilization, replacement of fossil feedstock and industrial electrification.
