All about CO2 – the most talked about gas about which so we know so little! A comprehensive Q&A on CO2. Ten years back, I doubt the term decarbonization existed except in some exclusive recesses. Today, it is everywhere – if you have not heard of it, you are likely...

Using mineral carbonation as an effective avenue for CO2 to products Industrial carbon emissions can be captured and turned into useful materials on a vast scale – this is the central theme of Mineral Carbonation International. The Australian firm uses a process already used by nature – mineral carbonation that...

CO2 to ethylene Occidental & Cemvita Factory are joining hands to produce ethylene from CO2 using the microbial pathway, and the venture claims that the technology is competitive with ethylene produced from hydrocarbons. ( https://bit.ly/3AFOFKS ) The idea I presume is to feed CO2 to these genetically modified critters and...

Plasma based CO2 conversion process, through low temperature plasma Plasma, the “fourth state of matter,” is an ionized gas comprising electrons, ions, radicals, excited atoms, and molecules. It presents a highly reactive environment, lending itself to different applications. In the context of CO2 conversion too, there is increasing interest in...

 CO2 to durable thermoplastics – neat My grandma would use a durable plastic container for a very long time – so long that all her plastic containers outlived her presence at home. And without ever having come across the term decarbonization (or carbon for that matter, bless her simple soul),...

Deadwood is life for others! A study by the Australian National University has found that the decaying of deadwood from forests could contribute up to 10 billion tons of CO2 emissions annually ( – https://lnkd.in/g_6r-68F ) That’s a real lot of emissions, about 30% of total CO2 emissions, which is...

Syngas – chemical industry’s Lego Many science and engineering professionals, even some from the chemical industry, may not have heard about syngas, but that may be just about to change. Because syngas is the building block using which a host of fuels and chemicals can be produced. It is perhaps...

 Power to X No, this has nothing to do with lottery. Or perhaps this could just be the lottery win many industries need right now in the context of decarbonization. Let me explain. Almost from nowhere, and in no time, the term Power to X seems to be everywhere within...

CO2 to proteins – animal foods, meat alternatives and nutrients from CO2 British companies such as Deep Branch ( https://deepbranch.com/ ) convert CO2 to animal food. Now that might be a pretty good idea, and not just because it uses CO2 that would have been otherwise emitted without any valorization....

Ocean-based CO2 sequestration using algae Oceans cover about 70% earth. And they have been playing a critical role in almost every aspect of our planet’s health – from temperature control to weather management and to yes, maintaining CO2 balance in the atmosphere. The oceans absorb 2-3 billion tons of CO2...
