Chemists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method to transform PET plastic waste into a powerful new material for CO₂ capture. The material, called BAETA, can absorb carbon emissions efficiently and be regenerated for reuse, offering a scalable, low-energy alternative to existing capture technologies.
Seabound, a UK-based leader in marine carbon capture, has launched a first-of-its-kind onboard carbon capture project in partnership with Hartmann Group ("Hartmann"), InterMaritime Group ("InterMaritime"), and Heidelberg Materials Northern Europe. The captured carbon, bound in limestone and safely stored onboard, will be offloaded at the Port of Brevik, Norway, for use at Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik cement plant.
Carbon Clean announced the official opening of its new Global Innovation Centre (GIC) in Navi Mumbai, India. The GIC will be one of the world’s largest dedicated carbon capture research facilities, spanning 77,121 square feet and housing two carbon capture plants alongside state-of-the-art laboratories for solvent development, analysis, and testing. It will serve as a hub for research, innovation, and technology demonstration.
Frontier has facilitated offtakes with Arbor, a Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) company that uses waste biomass to create clean energy while removing CO2. These offtakes will enable the launch of Arbor’s first commercial facility and test the viability of a new, highly efficient BECCS approach for generating clean electricity and removing CO₂. The facility, located near Lake Charles, LA, is expected to become fully operational in 2028.
Sulzer has signed an agreement with KEZO, Zurich Oberland’s waste utilization service provider, to develop and deliver a licensed carbon capture solution for commercial validation at KEZO’s waste-to-energy plant in Hinwil. The goal is to assess integration feasibility with KEZO’s processes in preparation for its new municipal solid waste incineration plant planned for 2030.
