Carbon Clean and SAMSUNG E&A to accelerate global deployment of carbon capture solutions
The partnership brings together Carbon Clean’s patented CycloneCC™ technology, a fully modular, columnless carbon capture system, with SAMSUNG E&A’s deep EPC expertise and AHEAD execution model to deliver compact, pre-fabricated systems that can be deployed faster, at lower cost, and with minimal site disruption.
AFPM: The only lawful, acceptable number for RFS reallocation is zero
The supplemental proposal, issued in September as an addendum to EPA’s June RFS proposal, seeks to add to the already-historically-high 2026–2027 RFS biofuel blending mandates by reallocating RFS costs waved from some refineries over the course of 2023 to 2025 onto the next tranche of RFS obligations imposed on all refiners.
Portugal's chemicals sector needs to spend $35 B on decarbonization, industry group says
The sector currently invests an average of around €1 B per year in growth, manufacturing processes, and energy efficiency, but only a portion is targeted at decarbonization.
Finland's Wartsila believes in shipping decarbonization despite IMO setback

Schneider Electric’s technology blueprint paves way for global e-methanol fuel expansion
Powered by renewable electricity from the adjacent 304-MW Kassø Solar Park, the largest in the Nordics, the facility captures biogenic CO₂ from nearby sources to produce up to 42,000 metric tpy of e-methanol.
Super-warming methane gas is being tackled too slowly, UN says ahead of COP30
Although methane stays in the atmosphere for a shorter time than carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is much more effective at trapping heat.
Cleanova introduces PFAS-free media coalescing filters for sustainable gas filtration
The newly developed coalescing media achieves up to 99.99% efficiency on 0.3 µm aerosols, ensuring exceptional liquid and solid removal performance from compressed air and gas streams while fully eliminating the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
