Enhancing Bioenergy Production with Olive Pomace and Plastic Waste Co-Pyrolysis A study by the University of Córdoba reveals that co-pyrolysis of olive pomace and plastic waste not only reduces energy consumption and emissions but also generates valuable biofuels and bioproducts. This innovative approach supports the Circular Economy by transforming waste into renewable energy sources, contributing to a more sustainable future. #CircularEconomy #Bioenergy #RenewableEnergy https://lnkd.in/ey4AAtim

Renewable polymers and plastics: Performance beyond the green Renewable bio-based polymers are one of the effective answers that the bioeconomy offers to solve the environmental emergency connected to plastics and more specifically fossil-based plastics. Previous studies have shown that more than 70 % of the natural capital cost associated with plastic derives from the extraction and processing of fossil raw materials and that the price of fossil plastic would be on average 44 % higher if such impact was fully paid by businesses. The disclosure of the hidden costs of plastics will contribute to dispelling the myth of the expensiveness of renewable polymers. Nevertheless, the adoption of bio-based plastics in the market must be motivated by their functional properties and not merely by their green credentials. #Renewable #polymer #bio_based #plastic #bioeconomy #environmental #fossil_based #renewable

Turning waste into jet fuel is no longer a distant goal — it can happen today with CirculAir. LanzaJet’s new integrated solution with LanzaTech combines their gas fermentation technology with our advanced Alcohol-to-Jet technology process to create a seamless pathway from waste carbon to #SustainableAviationFuel (#SAF) and #RenewableDiesel.    CirculAir converts nearly any waste resource – including municipal solid waste, agricultural residues, recycled carbon from industrial processes, and even CO2 from the air – into ethanol, which we then transform into high-quality, drop-in SAF. A single technology solution which can now address the widest range of feedstocks!    CirculAir stands out because it can utilize the same feedstocks as other SAF pathways – whether that is Fischer-Tropsch, Power-to-Liquid, eFuels, and Waste-to-Fuels – and efficiently delivering the same end result: drop-in SAF.     CirculAir allows us to offer an efficient alternative that is ASTM approved with the highest selectivity to SAF in the market, making it applicable in every country looking to repurpose its waste streams into SAF or to leap ahead by using CO2 and renewable power to create SAF.    Where our foundation continues to be leveraging ethanol to create SAF, we now integrate with LanzaTech’s commercial carbon recycling technology to allow us to convert nearly any feedstock into sustainable fuels. Said differently, ethanol-to-SAF is the most versatile pathway to SAF! #CirculAir #SomedayIsNow    Learn more about this groundbreaking development in my latest blog post here: https://lnkd.in/g-mzmmqb    #sustainability #circulareconomy #waste #carbon #cleanfuels #energy

This study delves into #biomass and plastic utilization, emphasizing waste reduction and #greenhousegas mitigation. While both show promise, plastic pyrolysis poses challenges requiring advanced emission control. #Biochar production from #sewage sludge emerges as a key avenue for phosphorus recovery, advancing agricultural sustainability. https://lnkd.in/g-VaGidp

The University of Aberdeen is one of three UK universities that has commenced work on the EU-funded #HyWay project: HyWay, or Hydrogen production from waste, is a research and innovation program focusing on thermochemical conversion, transforming waste materials into hydrogen. The project, comprised of an international team of universities and companies from the UK, Australia, China and Japan, aims to design and develop carbon-neutral, scalable and socially acceptable pathways to sort and convert waste to hydrogen-rich syngas as part of next-generation sustainable fuels. HyWay will advance the state-of-the-art in carbonaceous waste management especially plastic waste, waste tires, waste biomass and crude glycerol for hydrogen production.

Conventional waste management techniques, such as landfills and incineration, have been making this situation even worse. Help #EndPlastics by joining the Earth Day #PlanetVsPlastics movement to demand change and support the investment of innovative technologies and materials to build a plastic-free world. The movement targets a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040 and the elimination of single-use plastics by 2030: https://lnkd.in/g7TSpkQj

In a recent analysis, nine studies on the future of the chemical or plastics industry were evaluated to understand further feedstock needs. Global growth for most scenarios is between 2-3% CAGR – mostly driven by increasing demand in developing countries while industrial countries focus on improving circularity via reuse and recycling. Some studies have a residual share of fossil feedstock (usually linked to Carbon Capture Storage deployment), but researchers believe that the chemical industry will need to defossilize to truly achieve sustainable carbon cycles and reach net zero targets by 2050.

🌍🔬 Revolutionizing the Chemical Industry: Towards a Sustainable Future 🌱 The Royal Society's new report (https://lnkd.in/gynpdUkf) offers a blueprint for drastically reducing the #global chemical industry's #carbon footprint, which accounts for 6% of global CO2 emissions. By transitioning from traditional fossil fuel-based feedstocks to more sustainable options like biomass, plastic waste, and captured CO2, we can reshape how everyday consumer products are produced and significantly move towards net-zero emissions. 🚨🌱 This transformation is not just necessary; it is urgent. With projected demands suggesting that carbon in chemicals could double by 2050, the resulting increase in emissions could be catastrophic unless we pivot to alternative, less #carbon-intensive methods. This necessitates a robust commitment to research in catalysis, a surge in #renewableenergy solutions, and a significant expansion of green hydrogen technologies. 🌍⚡ 🤝 Collaboration across industries and substantial government support is imperative to overcome the current uncertainties around feedstock availability and the financial challenges of investing in new chemical facilities. Several pilot projects have already proven the technical feasibility of these sustainable practices, paving the way for widespread adoption. 🔬💼 The shift towards sustainable feedstocks in the chemical industry represents a critical step in our global effort to combat climate change. This is an environmental, economic, and social imperative to ensure a sustainable future. The time for action is now; we must all be ready to support and implement these changes to safeguard our planet for future generations. 🌎🌿 #Sustainability #GreenChemistry #Decarbonization #Innovation #NetZero
