New tech uses sunlight to produce solar syngas | CCUS

Scientists from the University of Cambridge in the UK have developed a reactor that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air and converts it into syngas using sunlight as the power source. A form of direct air capture (DAC), the scientists say that the process could be used to make fuel to power cars and planes, or chemicals and pharmaceutical products, without relying on fossil fuels. The reactor offers an alternative approach to CO2 management, as carbon capture and storage (CCS) remains energy-intensive and faces long-term storage challenges. While CCS is getting lots of funding from governments around the world, its viability and safety remain topics of debate. Professor Erwin Reisner, who led the research, argued in releasing the findings that CCS alone is not a long-term solution, as it in the fossil fuel… Read More »New tech uses sunlight to produce solar syngas | CCUS

The biggest loser is certainly the SPD, whose support dropped 9% since Germany’s last election and saw its worst results in decades. Adding to the complicated picture, on the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,… Read More »Germany faces political and economic uncertainty | Germany
