Ethanol – A Great Starting point for Carbon Capture?
Ethanol is a great compound. It keeps our hands clean during pandemics, it’s used as a feedstock for many industrial chemicals, it can power fuel cells, and it works well in combustion engines. And yes, it can also bring a special touch to celebrations. In addition, ethanol can be a front runner for developing carbon […]

Great EU ETS news
The EU emissions trading system, also known as EU ETS, is a cap and trade setup of emission allowances for the power generation sector and energy-intensive industry. As a tool in the tool box of emission reductions, think of it as the EU’s biggest hammer, covering about 40 % of the EU’s total CO2 emissions. […]

Interesting GHG Emission Trends for Different Industry Segments
In Endrava, we’re passionate about greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). More specifically, cutting those emissions in the best way possible. With CaptureMap, we often get caught up in looking at sites or segments individually, but in this blog post we wanted to use the tool differently. In this article we provide an overview of CO2 emission […]

E-PRTR: 4 reasons why we love and hate the E-PRTR database
CaptureMap is based on public data, that means that the facilities on the map measure or calculate their CO2 emissions, and report them to their national authorities who then publish the data openly. We pick the data up, and integrate it in our tool. Sounds easy, right? One of the main databases we use is […]

CCS Ready to Conquer the Ammonia Industry
Ammonia is not typically discussed at the dinner tables around the world, but it should be: it’s a vital chemical for making fertilizer, enabling efficient food production for a growing world population. Ammonia’s importance is also linked to significant energy needs and large greenhouse gas emissions. In this article, we give a brief background on […]

The cement industry needs carbon capture for reducing emissions
The cement industry plays an important role in the global economy, providing the building blocks for infrastructure development and construction projects worldwide. However, cement production is also a major contributor to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It is imperative for the cement industry to address this issue and take proactive steps towards reducing its CO2 emissions. […]

Good potential for CCS on Waste-to-Energy plants
There is increasing interest in the potential for capturing CO2 from waste-to-energy (WtE) plants in Europe, and safely storing it. But how many of these plants are there in Europe, how much CO2 do they emit and how much could be captured?
