Closing the Carbon Cycle and Creating a Pathway to Net-Zero

Closing the Carbon Cycle and Creating a Pathway to Net-Zero

What if you could take today's plastic or acrylics and create them using pollution and lock carbon up before it escapes into our atmosphere? In the March issue of Nature Biotechnology, (and online today), a team of scientists from LanzaTech, Northwestern University, and the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Lab reveal their results and methods from a pilot-scale demonstration and life cycle analysis that they can now manufacture glass for windows or headlights, plastics, even nail polish remover and thousands of other products, all from pollution. (See story, here.) This carbon negative platform saves >160% GHG emissions, playing a critical role in helping the U.S. reach a net-zero emissions economy. The results from this collaboration will change how companies can manufacture products.

Running on Pollution - Swiss sports brand On to Make the Sole of Their Shoes From Carbon Waste

Running on Pollution - Swiss sports brand On to Make the Sole of Their Shoes From Carbon Waste

Swiss sports brand On is leading a supply chain coalition to reshape carbon waste into running shoes, cooperating with LanzaTech and Borealis. Today, On is announcing CleanCloud™ – a new high-performance foam for running shoes, created using carbon emissions as a raw material. With CleanCloud™, On is making carbon emissions the starting point for creating EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) foam – a material they are engineering into high-performance cushioning for running shoes. There’s also the potential to use it in other parts of the shoe, and other products, in the future. You can find a copy of the news release online here. This announcement with On follows LanzaTech’s launch earlier this week over a collaboration with SAS, Vattenfall, and Shell to produce sustainable aviation fuel in Sweden. Last week, a product launch with Unilever on a new dish soap now available in stores made from waste emissions. As world leaders continue to negotiate about addressing our climate crises, companies like On, LanzaTech, and Borealis are working to avoid a climate catastrophe in changing the supply chain and getting new sustainable products into the marketplace.

Potential to Produce 5B Gallons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel from CO2

The White House set a goal of replacing all jet fuel with sustainable alternatives by 2050, saying it could cut emissions from flying by 20 percent by the end of the decade. To help meet that goal, the Department of Energy (DOE), announced more than $64 million in funding for 22 projects focused on developing technologies and processes that produce low-cost, low-carbon biofuels as part of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge.
