⏳𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗨 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 & 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌍 In March, the Commission proposed a series of targeted actions to boost biotechnology and biomanufacturing in the EU. It identifies challenges and barriers and proposes actions to tackle that. The #RenewableCarbonInitiative believes this initiative is crucial to reaching #netzero and reducing reliance on fossil resources. Today, we have published a position paper which urges the European Commission to prioritise three key actions: 1️⃣ 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀: Ensure consistency across EU initiatives on #RenewableCarbon, including #biomass, #recycling, and CO2-based sources. 2️⃣ 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱: Policies must drive demand for renewable carbon feedstocks to create a globally competitive industry. 3️⃣ 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵: Support the shift from fossil-based to renewable carbon feedstocks in manufacturing, ensuring a #sustainable transition. Let's accelerate the shift to renewable carbon for a more competitive and sustainable EU! 💡🌱 Find the RCI position paper here: https://lnkd.in/e4tnSi38 #Defossilisation #ChemicalIndustry #EUCompetitiveness #Biomanufacturing #CircularEconomy #GreenTransition #RCI

In the realm of #SustainableChemistry, a recent study from Nature Portfolio weighed the #EnvironmentalImpact of emerging bio-based products against their #petrochemical counterparts. Results show a promising 45 % reduction in #GreenhouseGas emissions, reflecting a positive shift. However, nuances emerge as the study underlines the need for individual evaluation, revealing varied #EnvironmentalImpacts among these products. And this is something that we are trailblazing here at Sonichem, helping to steer the entire industry to radical #GreenChemistry innovations for a #ClimateNeutral future.

The FlowPhotoChem Project is helping to achieve European climate targets by delivering innovations for sustainable chemical production. The EU has committed to tackling climate change targets head-on, aiming to reduce CO2 by 40% by 2030 and achieve a climate-neutral economy by 2050. The European chemical industry, one of the largest manufacturing sectors and producers of high-value industry-wide materials, must also significantly reduce carbon emissions to meet these targets. Europe’s chemical sector is one of the most polluting industries, with figures estimating that the sector released 123 million tons of CO2 equivalents in 2021. This is because a significant portion of chemical production is derived from fossil fuels, using processes that also generate significant quantities of greenhouse gases.

Exciting news! There is a new certificate and label available for the share of renewable carbon in your product! TÜV AUSTRIA and nova-Institute had been comissioned by the Renewable Carbon Initiative to develop the "𝐎𝐊 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧" 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞. Whether packaging, cars or consumer goods, textiles, sports equipment or personal care products, cosmetics or medicines – they all have one thing in common: They are made entirely or partially from the multi-talent carbon. However, more than 90 percent of this carbon is still extracted from fossil resources such as crude oil, natural gas or coal – and sooner or later ends up in the atmosphere, further fuelling the climate.

Share an interesting Review: Upcycling municipal solid waste to sustainable hydrogen via two-stage gasification-reforming HUI ZHOU, Shuzhuang Sun, Yikai Xu, Yeshui Zhang, Shouliang (Shawn) Yi, Chunfei Wu, 清华 Queen's University Belfast University of Aberdeen National Energy Technology Laboratory Rapid growth in population and industrialization has exacerbated the global energy crisis and environmental sustainability challenges, necessitating the need for effective management of municipal solid waste. The two-stage gasification reforming (TSGR) process represents one of the most promising municipal solid waste utilization technologies. Due to the good separation of waste residue and catalyst, flexible two-stage temperature control, and improved process efficiency, TSGR is superior to other peer technologies. The combination of calcium rings and chemical rings can further improve the performance of TSGR and broaden its application range. https://lnkd.in/gr7_JY5r
