#UNIDO’s Global Greenchem Innovation and Network Programme (#GGINP) in partnership with Yale University and funded by the Global Environment Facility is advancing #GreenChemistry. While manufacturing has long been a source of pollution and toxic emissions, GGINP is bringing together industry, academia, and green chemistry advocates to develop eco-efficient products and processes. From construction to textiles, this programme targets a broad range of sectors in #Indonesia, #Jordan, #Peru, #Serbia, #Uganda, and #Ukraine. 👇 https://lnkd.in/d8SuRYJQ Branko Dunjić | American Chemical Society | Lars Ratjen | Rodica Ella Ivan

Innovation, collaboration and public/private sector partnerships built today’s chemical industry. The necessary transition of this industry to green and sustainable chemistry will require the same. So, it is possible to make 2024 the year that green chemistry takes off! Find out how we are making this happen at Change Chemistry (formerly Green Chemistry & Commerce Council (GC3)) https://lnkd.in/g2qs7HDs

PUBLICATION | Green Chemistry Researchers from the CiTOS: Center for Integrated Technology and Organic Synthesis demonstrate how glycerol carbonate, a bio-sourced industrial additive, can be produced in record time using CO2 and a by-product of the cooking oil recycling industry. The process relies on a hybrid approach combining fundamental physical organic chemistry and applied flow process technology. Two industrial wastes are thus converted into glycerol carbonate, a bio-sourced rising star with high added value.

The Global Greenchem Innovation and Network Programme The Project was approved by the GEF on 19 February 2022. The objective of the project is to strengthen the sound management of industrial chemicals and their waste through better control, reduction, and/or elimination protocols, and specifically to scale up green chemistry solutions for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury replacement through capacity building, innovation, and the creation of a global green chemistry network fostering visibility, support, and implementation. Manufacturing of inherently hazardous materials occurs around the world. Workers and communities, especially in emerging economies, are being exposed to chemicals with proven associated risks and hazards. The fact that these chemicals are still produced is mainly due to technological lock-in and the prohibitive initial deployment and substitution costs to make green chemistry alternatives available in these countries. Global agreements for continued POPs and mercury use, the growing global threat of microplastics, and the barriers to deploying green chemistry alternatives at scale represent persistent source of harm for human health and the environment. Green Chemistry focuses on the development and application of chemicals with inherently benign and beneficial properties at all stages of their life cycles. Its purpose is not simply to reduce pollution through the elimination of hazards associated with chemical, reagents, solvents, and products, but also to ensure that sustainability is considered already in the design process for innovations in the area. Green Chemistry touches virtually every business sector—food, energy, plastics, cosmetics, cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, etc. Due to the nature of green chemistry, it is an essential building block and guiding principle for the development of a circular economy. Accordingly, UNIDO launched a global initiative to deploy Green Chemistry approaches and technologies in 2017. Various partners supported the initiative, including the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale, Braskem, and National Cleaner Production Centers (NCPCs) from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Encouraged by this first project and taking into consideration the recommendations of the following independent evaluation, UNIDO, in close collaboration with Yale, developed the Global Green Chemistry Initiative (GGCI). #GreenChemistry #GGCINP #Yale #UnitedNations #Chemistry

Working with organisations to understand business opportunities in the biobased product sector | Chemicals, Plastics, Materials | Managing Director at Bioeconomy Consultants NNFCC
We really want to get as much insight into how the UK chemical industry and chemical users are thinking about addressing their scope three emissions. Do companies feel the need to change? Do carbon offsets or insets have a role? What is the direction of travel for chemical feedstocks, chemical recycling, biomass, CCU, power to chemicals etc #chemicalrecycling #ccus #biobased #carbonoffsets #p2x
Growing the UK bio-based industry | Passionate about all things biotech | bioeconomy | bioprocessing
📣📣Shout out to anyone interested in a #sustainable #chemicals industry in UK📣📣 NNFCC The Bioeconomy Consultants, FREY Consulting and Perspective Economics have been awarded a project from the UK Government – Innovate UK (IUK), to carry out a ‘Sustainable Hydrocarbons for the UK Chemicals Industry' Study. The study aims to provide evidence that can support a Sustainable Hydrocarbons Vision - which sets out how the UK can position itself, in the context of a Net Zero future, to be internationally competitive and meet the growing demand for sustainable chemical products. Please help by taking part in the initial study survey, which aims to gather information on (1) the UK’s current status (2) potential future scenarios for sustainable chemical production (3) transformation required to meet future sustainable chemical sector needs. https://lnkd.in/e_Q7hW9C Please complete the survey no later than Friday 17th November.

I am pleased to share that the results of my master's thesis in Biotechnology have been published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering! I want to express my gratitude to my thesis director, Ángel F. Mohedano, Ricardo P. Ipiales, all collaborators, and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid for making this achievement possible. The paper, titled " Energy Recovery from Garden and Park Waste by Hydrothermal Carbonization with Process Water Recycling", aims to obtain a carbonaceous material with suitable properties to be used as a solid biofuel by recycling process water from the hydrothermal carbonization of garden and park waste. The research is focused on maximizing mass yield and energy recovery, as well as facilitating the treatment of the liquid fraction by reusing cycles of the liquid fraction and by anaerobic digestion to reduce the organic load of the final effluent and recover energy by producing methane-rich biogas. https://lnkd.in/eePMDs2N
