A credible alternative to the 100% hydrogen system for decarbonizing industrial operations
While hydrogen is often presented as the cornerstone of the energy transition, its development raises numerous technical, economic and safety challenges. A new technology, based on recycling CO₂ from combustion fumes and converting it into e-fuels like methanol, opens up a simpler, more pragmatic way of accelerating [...]
Converting CO₂ into useful molecules and producing oxygen for oxy-combustion
Oxy-combustion is a technology that involves burning a fuel in the presence of pure oxygen, rather than using ambient air. This produces fumes containing mainly CO₂ and water vapor, making it easier to capture CO₂ for storage or recovery. However, the production of pure oxygen is energy-intensive. An alternative [...]
Oxy-combustion: When Burning with Oxygen Paves the Way for Recoverable CO2
A new way to burn In power plants or cement factories, fuels are usually burned with air. But air is mostly nitrogen (nearly 80 %!). As a result, the fumes contain little CO₂ (only 10 to 15 %). Nitrogen is used as a heat transfer agent, and is therefore not [...]
CO2 BIO: A project supported by the CIVB
On August 19, W Platform launched CO2 BIO, France's first platform for the purchase and resale of biogenic CO₂, supported by the CIVB. A strong step towards the circular economy and sustainable solutions for the wine industry.
Launch of CO2 BIO: The Platform for Buying and Reselling Biogenic CO2
W Platform launches CO2 BIO, the 1st French platform for the purchase and resale of biogenic CO₂, from the 2024 harvest in Gironde.
LESS ALCO: A Process for De-Alcoholizing Wine
W Platform launches LESS ALCO, a CO₂ process that reduces alcohol in wine without altering its aromas.
