A new research collaboration between American University of Sharjah (AUS) and the Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) exemplifies the #partnerships we look for to catalyse and develop #sustainability solutions to benefit the world. This arrangement will focus on #research in the AUS - College of Engineering covering #hydrogen fuel-cell EVs for #sustainable #transport solutions, including the necessary hydrogen infrastructure to support them. #SNOC funding will also support research into seeking ways to treat #water contaminated with heavy metals during extractive processes, and numerous other linked fields that are key to future sustainability. At #AUS we’re committed to excellence in #education and research, and this collaboration with SNOC illustrates our conviction that #academia and #industry must work hand in hand to make the discoveries that will shape and strengthen our collective, sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/gGFb6GUq

#Italy's NEXTCHEM and #Kazakhstan's KazMunayGas-Aero (KMG AERO) have signed an agreement to collaborate on advancing #energytransition initiatives, leveraging on NEXTCHEM’s proprietary technology portfolio and process engineering capabilities. These initiatives aim at contributing to the #decarbonization and upgrade of Kazakhstan’s industry and assets, in particular for the production of #sustainableaviationfuel (#SAF) and low-carbon #hydrogen through #CO2capture, as well as for the implementation of #circular solutions. NEXTCHEM is poised to drive #sustainable innovation through its proprietary technologies for Sustainable Aviation Fuel such as NX SAF BIO and NX Circular, a "Waste-to-X" solution which transforms waste into valuable chemical resources, as well as NX AdWinHydrogen and NX AdWinMethanol, innovative solutions for large-scale production of #lowcarbonhydrogen and #methanol from natural gas through CO2 capture. Moreover, NEXTCHEM is providing cutting edge circular technologies including NX Replast, an advanced solution for #plasticupcycling. NEXTCHEM and KMG AERO will evaluate the feasibility of development initiatives in the country, involving TECNIMONT for the assessment of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction activities when projects advance to the execution phase. The MoU was signed by Ildar Shamsutdinov, General Director of KMG AERO and Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, at the presence of Arman Shakkaliev, Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Attilio Fontana, President of Lombardy Region, among several officials of both countries.

Interesting to learn that Partanna is partnering with Saudi Arabia's KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) to further develop their #directaircapture carbon-negative #cement. Partanna's process doesn't require Portland Cement, the cause of 9% of the worlds #carbonemissions. Partanna is backed by Taiwan based Cherubic Ventures, having raised $21.3 million from them according to Crunchbase. #sustainability #energytransition #CO2 #carbon #decarbonization #decarbonisation #carbonremoval #DAC

In Athens, the Greek Capital, a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for IFESTOS, the Carbon Capture Project was signed by thyssenkrupp and TITAN Group. Right now IFESTOS is one of the largest carbon capture projects within Europe and the purpose of it is to make the production of zero-carbon cement and concrete possible. The article below talks about the award that has just been presented to thyssenkrupp and TITAN Group and it is clear that through being given to these companies, the project will become extremely significant within the carbon capture industry.
