Wind and solar electricity can now be turned into climate-neutral fuels: E-fuels have the potential to play an important role in combating climate change. Scientists in Karlsruhe, Germany, are laying a technological foundation.

The leading shipping associations intend to establish an international fund with a volume of five billion US dollars to drive forward the reduction of CO2 emissions – the German Shipowners’ Association (VDR) announced.

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) have achieved a world première: They have developed a technology that produces carbon-neutral fuels using only sunlight and air. The solar refinery is already operating under real-life conditions.

A new development by the EPFL Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne is providing fresh impetus for the idea of the hydrogen car. The goal behind the technology is to enable small hydrogen fueling stations in private households and thus facilitate the establishment of a comprehensive hydrogen fuel network.

Scientists have developed a new method to convert plastic waste into hydrogen through pyrolysis, a high-temperature chemical process.

Will we ever be able to fly with a clean conscience again? The good news: Technologies for zero-carbon aviation are already available today. The bad: It will take years to bring them to market.

Shipping leaves a large ecological footprint: the propulsion engines are largely dependent on energy sources that produce climate-damaging CO2 when burnt. In addition to hydrogen and methanol, ammonia is also considered a more climate-friendly substitute fuel.

Cobalt-based catalysts could be used to turn mixed plastic waste into fuel, new plastics and other products.

According to its developers, the British airship Airlander 10 could take off for commercial flights with passengers from 2028.

In an Empa research project, study participants rated the noise of new types of aircraft as less annoying than the noise of today's aircraft.
