INERATEC ’s Post

Today we attended Arendalsuka at the Miljøstiftelsen ZERO organized event on carbon removal. Here our co-founder Kaja Voss was part of a panel answering what policy we need to make carbon removal a reality.   The best news of the day was that all three politicians on stage, Espen Barth-Eide (AP), Lene Westgaard-Halle (H) and Lars Haltbrekken (SV) agree that we need economic incentives to capture and store biogenic and atmospheric CO2 and we need it NOW.  Our key messages at the event:  - In addition to policies introducing economic incentives to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, we need access to CO2 storage infrastructure on terms that work for smaller emitters and first movers.  - Our biogenic waste gives ample opportunities for carbon removal, through bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). However, before becoming BECCS, it needs to become bioenergy. This is not always the case. Unbelievably, some biogas is still flared in Norway.  - The biogas industry is not to blame for this. Framework conditions for producing and consuming biogas need to be drastically improved. We need all the biogas we can get, both to replace fossil fuel, and for the purpose of removing CO2 from the atmosphere (in this domain biogas has a major and underdeveloped role to play!) Thank you, Anne Marit Post-Melbye, and Martine Mørk at Zero for hosting such a great event! And great talking to you Carsten Dybevig (Norske Skog), Markus Sebastian Hole (Hafslund Oslo Celsio), Eirik Borstad Lilledahl (SpareBank 1 Markets AS), Christoph Beuttler (Climeworks), Alex Bell (Removr), Marlena Grossmann (Equinor), and Aslak Hellestø (Northern Lights JV) #carbonremoval #Arendalsuka #netzero #ccs #cdr #biogas

The world's first biosyngas dried jumbo reel! ­Take a look at this picture and the piece of paper from a Sofidel S.p.A. paper mill in Sweden. It may look like any piece of white paper, but it is not. It comes from the world's first #biosyngas dried jumbo reel!   More or less all of the tissue paper that is produced globally is being dried by heat originating from the burning of fossil gas. But luckily, as from today some of it will be dried using renewable biosyngas instead. For us, this is just the start. We want to decarbonize all hard-to-abate manufacturing industries with our biosyngas technology! #decarbonization #biogas Fossilfritt Sverige Swedish Environmental Protection Agency Tissue World ANDRITZ Örebro Gasteknik AB Energigas Sverige Svebio, Svenska Bioenergiföreningen

Led by Shell and supported by the Dutch government, Porthos represents a significant milestone in advancing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, crucial for reducing emissions from heavy industries like steel and cement production. Despite economic uncertainties and project delays, Porthos demonstrates a pivotal step towards meeting climate goals and establishing CCS projects as essential components of global emission reduction strategies. However, it's also important to highlight upcoming projects that focus not only on carbon capture but also on carbon utilization. Microalgae-based carbon sequestration offers a promising solution in this regard, by efficiently absorbing CO2 from industrial emissions and converting it into biomass. This approach not only effectively sequesters carbon but also produces valuable bioproducts, contributing to the development of sustainable bioeconomies. As projects like Porthos showcase the feasibility and importance of large-scale carbon capture initiatives, integrating microalgae-based solutions can further enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of carbon sequestration efforts on a global scale. #carboncapture #carbonsequestration #emissionreduction #microalgae #bioproducts #sustainability #bioeconomy Ref: https://lnkd.in/e82HNGCQ

Most intermediates and products contain embedded carbon – and are even based on carbon – which can never be replaced by anything else. However, chemicals and materials can be defossilised which means that the carbon source is not fossil carbon from the ground, i.e. not crude oil, natural gas or coal. Instead, they are based on biomass, CO₂ utilisation and recycling thus contributing to a sustainable and circular economy. Defossilisation is the key point of the 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 which will take place from 𝟏𝟏𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝟏𝟑𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐡𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭, i.e. both online and in-person in Siegburg near Cologne (Germany).

Ever wondered how #microalgae can play a crucial role in wastewater treatment and environmental remediation? The GREEN DUNE® Microalgae-based photobioreactor, designed and supplied by our partner BLUEMATER SA, is at the forefront of this green revolution! Starting from the basic technology patended by Bluemater, a breakthrough innovation is brought within the RHE-MEDiation project to make the technology designed, tested, and validated to clean a wide range of pollutants (from inorganic to organic) from different real-life waters and especially upscalable to industrial size application, as never attempted in the past. Additionally, the project involves a detailed characterization of microalgal biomass. This process will reveal how RHE-MEDiation doesn’t just treat waste; it transforms it into a valuable resource that can be upgraded for biofuels, biofertilizers, or for the extraction of valuable compounds. Let's collectively embrace the potential of microalgae for a greener and cleaner future!🌍 #RHEMEDIATION #EUmissions #MissionOcean #WaterInnovation #Sustainability #HorizonEU RINA Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche BLUEMATER SA EYDAP Yurt Mühendislik TÜBİTAK European Marine Board IVZW sensichips Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR) Hellenic Center for Marine Research MDM Team

Revolutionizing #eFuel production in Europe ⚡ 🌳 INERATEC and Groupe SOLER will build a Power-to-Liquid plant in Southern France to create a highly efficient value chain for e-Fuel production across Europe. This partnership not only contributes to the preservation of our forests by only using sustainably sourced wood but also leverages the untapped potential of forest residues. The value chain, which uses both wood and renewable energy as resources, includes the following steps: 1) The process starts with SOLER's cutting-edge pyrolysis technology, which converts forestry residues into biocarbon and simultaneously produces synthesis gas. While the biocarbon is used to replace fossil coal as first product from the value chain, the syngas is purified. 2) The CO2 from the syngas is fed into INERATEC's Power-to-Liquid plant, where it undergoes a reaction with hydrogen to produce high quality hydrocarbons – better known as e-Fuels. 3) The e-Fuels are supplied to hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation, road transport and shipping. 💡 The entire process is engineered to utilize 95% of the biomass’s carbon, maximizing the use of natural resources while aligning with the growth cycle of the forests. This project is a significant step towards the holistic approach to achieving carbon neutrality. #NextEra

Exciting time ahead for e-fuels in Europe. Forest residues is abundant feedstock for biogenic CO2 and renewable hydrogen. The modular e-fuel process from INERATEC will enable rapid scaling to meet the future demand and the need to decarbonize all the hard-to-abate transportation sector.

It was great to join the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue #betd today and bring biogas and biomethane to the global stage of the Energiewende! ⏲️ Two years after the REPowerEU the 35 bcm/y target for biomethane is still key, with sector working hard to scale up. We must accelerate! ♻️🚜When we talk about biogas and biomethane it would be wrong to describe them simply as renewable energy carriers. Their co-products (digestate and bioCO2) bring sustainable solutions to agriculture and industry. AD is also key to curb farming and waste management emissions. 💨And finally, bioCO2 makes the difference: supplying a sustainable and circular feedstock to the market and opening the door to CDR!
