CO2 Removal: Canada. Skyrenu Technologies Inc., a company specializing in CO2 capture2 at low concentration, announces the delivery of a first batch of CO2 captured directly from the air at Secant Fuel, a company developing technologies for the production of synthetic fuels (e-Fuels) and low-carbon chemicals (e-Chemicals). Skyrenu’s technology is specifically designed for CO2 capture at low concentrations, ranging from CO2 present in ambient air from diluted industrial emissions. It allows the production of CO2 Concentrated and high-purity, ready for valorization or sequestration. Link 30/09/2029.

e-fuels: Denmark. Arcadia e-Fuels signed a deal with Plug Power Inc for the supply of 280 MW of electrolysers for its flagship e-sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) project in Denmark and has also selected the US hydrogen company as preferred supplier. Under the agreement, Plug will supply its GenEco electrolysers for Arcadia’s Project ENDOR at the Port of Vordingborg, where renewable electricity will be used to produce about 110 tonnes of hydrogen per day for conversion into e-SAF.

Renewable diesel: Spain. Moeve and Emerita Resources signed the first agreement in Spain to deploy 100% renewable diesel (HVO) on an industrial scale within the mining sector. Through this partnership, Moeve has positioned itself as the preferred supplier of this 2G biofuel, which can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% over its entire life cycle compared to traditional diesel. This 2G biofuel is produced at Moeve’s facility in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva) and will be implemented in the operations of the Iberian Belt West (IBW) project, led by Emerita Resources and located in the province of Huelva. The use of this biofuel in transportation operations during the mine’s construction and operation is estimated to prevent the emission of approximately 2,600 metric tons of CO2 annually.
