A research team at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) led by Dr. Koo Kee-Young of the Hydrogen Research Department has developed a high-performance copper–magnesium–iron catalyst that efficiently converts carbon dioxide (CO₂)—a major greenhouse gas—into carbon monoxide (CO), a key building block for eco-friendly synthetic fuels. The breakthrough targets the reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction, which converts CO₂ and hydrogen (H₂) into CO and water (H₂O). The r

Owens Corning  and  Gjenkraft AS  have signed a letter of intent (LoI) to advance circular solutions for composite waste. The initiative aims to close the loop for glass fiber materials by integrating recycled glass fibers recovered via Gjenkraft’s thermolysis-based process back into Owens Corning’s production of new glass fibers. In practice, this means composite waste will be converted into high-quality secondary raw materials — and then reintroduced into the value chain as

Liaoning Dingjide Petrochemical has told MLT Analytics (MLTA) that it is in the "troubleshooting phase" of startup of its 200,000-tonnes/year polyolefin elastomer and plastomer (POE/POP) plant located in the Dalian Changxing Island National Petrochemical Industrial Park, Liaoning Province, China, with commercial operation slated for by the end of October 2025. Speaking to MLTA at the K Show in Dusseldorf, Germany, Head of Overseas Marketing Jason Sun noted that his company ha
