Top 10 Cement Companies in Europe to Use Carbon Nanotubes from CO₂ Emissions in 2030
Did you know that concrete is responsible for 8% of the world’s CO₂ emissions and is the second most-used substance in the world after water? Reducing CO₂ emissions from cement manufacturing is particularly challenging because they result from the release of CO₂ during the conversion of CaCO₃ (calcium carbonate). ⅔ of the direct emissions come […]
Scaling Deep-Tech Production: From GEN1 to GEN2 Reactor
In May 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released the Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2024, predicting that by 2030, 93% of battery-grade graphite will come from China. The IEA identifies graphite as a mineral with very high geopolitical risks, highlighting that its supply can be easily disrupted, and prices could surge unexpectedly. Apart from the […]
Molten Salt Regeneration: The Game-Changer
This article was shared at Nuclear Engineering International. Corrosion caused by high temperatures and corrosive salts has long plagued molten salt-based nuclear reactor industries. Now though, a technology designed to produce carbon nanomaterials could be the breakthrough needed to clean impurities from the coolant fuel circulating in molten salt reactor designs. The issue of corrosion […]
What on earth are carbon nanomaterials?
The question is legitimate since nanomaterials are so small that even a single hair is around 1000 times thicker. Nanomaterials have a size of less than 100 nanometers. Before the discovery of carbon nanomaterials, the most well-known forms of carbon were diamond and graphite. Carbon nanostructures were discovered in 1991 by the physicist Sumio Iijima. […]
