Petroleum-based plastics are useful but they pose a great threat to the environment and human health. It is highly desirable yet challenging to develop sustainable structural materials...
The European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy includes actions aimed at investigating and better understanding the lifecycle impacts of using alternative feedstocks for plastics production. The Joint Research...
Higher price increases for fossils – nova Price Indices for Fossil Resources, Metals and Biomass 1980 – 2021
The biomass index shows a much more moderate increase overall, which improves the competitive situation of biomass also in the chemical industry.
Behind the struggle to stop governments propping up the coal, oil and gas industries.
Successful transition from fossil to bio-based products: webinar and four regional workshops hosted by BIOSWITCH
During the session, different brand owners that have successfully switched from fossil-based to bio-based approaches will share their experiences, motivations, challenges and lessons learned.
Life cycle energy and greenhouse gas emission effects of biodiesel in the United States with induced land use change impacts
This study conducted the updated simulations to depict a life cycle analysis (LCA) of the biodiesel production from soybeans and other feedstocks in the U.S. It addressed in details the interaction between...
Bio-based products potentially decrease consumption of non-renewable fossil resources compared to their fossil-derived counterparts, but are more demanding for bio-productive land use. Although thermodynamics-based...
