Climate hack for steel industry: New process enhances sustainability of pig iron production
From Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) 11/01/24 About eight percent of worldwide CO2 emissions are produced by steel industry. “This must be changed quickly,” says Professor Olaf Deutschmann from KIT’s Institute for Chemical Technology and Polymer Chemistry (ITCP). He admits that new hydrogen technologies may open up a climate-neutral perspective in the long term. But […]
Mimicking ‘plant power’ through artificial photosynthesis
From American Chemical Society 18/10/23 Solar panels are an increasingly popular way to generate electricity from the sun’s energy. Although humans are still figuring out how to reliably turn that energy into fuel, plants have been doing it for eons through photosynthesis. Now, a team reporting in ACS Engineering Au has mimicked the process to […]
