Aarhus University researchers have developed a method to convert discarded nitrile rubber gloves into a reusable material that captures carbon dioxide from flue gas, offering a potential solution for both waste management and industrial emissions.
Mercer Peace River Pulp and Svante have begun operating a CO₂ capture demonstration unit at a pulp mill in northern Alberta to evaluate solid sorbent carbon capture technology on biogenic emissions. The six-month pilot is intended to inform future engineering decisions and potential commercial-scale deployment in the pulp and paper industry.
Avnos has secured up to $17 million in project financing from Shell US Gas and Power, LLC and Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas) to build its flagship HDAC™ facility, Project Cedar. The facility, coming online by the end of 2026, uses a water-positive, hybrid direct air capture design that eliminates external heat and water needs.
Saipem has initiated the fourth and final testing phase of its pilot CO₂-capture plant at a cement facility in Poland using its enzyme-based “CO₂ Solutions” technology, part of the ACCSESS project.
KBC has released version 7.6 of its Multiflash® software, offering enhanced modeling capabilities for CO₂-rich systems and complex fluids, aimed at supporting CCS and decarbonization efforts in upstream and process industries
