Rome (AFP) June 24, 2025 Italy's competition watchdog said Tuesday it has fined oil giant Eni and its plastics unit Novamont some 32 million euros ($37 for abuse of a dominant market position in plastic bag production. The AGCM watchdog accuses Novamont of having contracts with plastic bag manufacturers and large retailers that include "exclusivity" clauses obliging them to source Mater-Bi, a degradable plastic mate| Bio Fuel News - Liquid Fuels For The 21st Century
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 17, 2025 A research team at Rice University has developed a simple yet effective method to dramatically extend the life of electrochemical systems that convert carbon dioxide into fuels and industrial chemicals. The approach relies on passing CO2 gas through an acid bubbler before it enters the reactor, a modification that prevents damaging salt buildup inside the device. Published in Science, the| Bio Fuel News - Liquid Fuels For The 21st Century
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 02, 2025 The quest to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas, into sustainable fuels through hydrogenation is gaining momentum. This process can produce methanol, a versatile compound used in fuels, plastics, and other chemicals. It can also yield methane for natural gas pipelines and longer-chain hydrocarbons suitable for gasoline and aviation fuel, enabling the creation of sustainable e| Bio Fuel News - Liquid Fuels For The 21st Century
Columbia MO (SPX) May 21, 2025 Imagine drawing on something as delicate as a living cell - without damaging it. Researchers at the University of Missouri have made this groundbreaking discovery using an unexpected combination of tools: frozen ethanol, electron beams and purple-tinted microbes. By advancing a method called ice lithography, the team was able to etch incredibly small, detailed patterns directly onto fragil| Bio Fuel News - Liquid Fuels For The 21st Century
Rodekro, Denmark (AFP) May 13, 2025 Europe's largest "green" methanol plant opened in Denmark on Tuesday, boosting the continent's emissions reduction efforts - with customers ranging from shipping giant Maersk to toymaker Lego and pharmaceutical firm Novo Nordisk.
