🚀 Guess what’s back after a short break? Start-Up Tuesday! 🚀 This week we’re shining the spotlight on Lixea, they are transforming biomass waste into renewable raw materials for the chemical industry. Co-founded by Dr Agnieszka Brandt-Talbot, Jason Hallett and Florence Gschwend, and led by CEO Krisztina Kovacs-Schreiner, the Lixea team is tackling fossil-based feedstocks and giving under-utilised resources a fresh purpose 🌱 With Carl-Magnus Brandén, Sasha Rabiner, Marcus Elmer, Janis Eglitis, Ruihua Luo and Róbert Balogh driving R&D, operations and innovation forward, Lixea is already running a pilot-scale process, and now it’s on track to build a 25,000-tonne-per-year demonstration plant, backed by a €21.5 million EU Innovation Fund grant, expected to avoid over 526,000 tonnes of CO₂ in its first decade 🌏 It’s what happens when science and engineering join forces to build a circular, cleaner future from right here in White City. 👉 Learn more about their work and follow their journey 🌐 www.lixea.co Imperial College London White City Innovation District #StartUpTuesday #NEXUSWestLondon #WhiteCityInnovationDistrict #HammersmithAndFulham #SustainableInnovation #CircularEconomy #CleanTech #DeepTech

Driving decarbonization requires more than incremental change—it requires supporting the breakthrough innovations that actually work. With the generous support of our funders, Foresight Canada and Social Innovation Canada's Earth Tech programs deliver the mentorship, connections, and funding support to help scale solutions that reduce or remove massive amounts of CO₂. We’re proud to introduce our third Earth Tech: 2050 cohort: ✨ Aqua-Cell Energy (Kitchener, ON) ✨ Brokkr Mineral Resources Corp. (Burnaby, BC) ✨ FeX Energy (Montreal, QC) ✨ Green Graphite Technologies (Montreal, QC) ✨ Grengine (Edmonton, AB) ✨ Litus Inc. (Calgary, AB) ✨ Sixone Labs (Vancouver, BC) ✨ SUSTAERO (Burnaby, BC) ✨ Tersa Earth (Vancouver, BC) ✨ Wafr Technologies Ltd. (Vancouver, BC) The Earth Tech programs are made possible by our funding partners at RBC Foundation, Peter Gilgan Foundation, and Ronald S. Roadburg Foundation.

🔋 From Spent Magnets to Circular Catalysts: Building Sustainable Value Chains for NdFeB Materials Next week, the Iberian Sustainable Mining Cluster | ISMC will host the first #NEOCYCLE Stakeholder Workshop in #Seville, co-organised with our associate EcoCastulum. The event will bring together key European stakeholders working to advance circular value chains for rare earth materials. 📅 29 October 2025  🕓 09:00 - 16:00 📍 Hotel Occidental Sevilla Viapol, Seville This full-day workshop will: 🔸 Present the core goals and technological progress of the Neo-Cycle project, including advances in NdFeB magnet upcycling, rare earth extraction, catalyst production, digital traceability, and techno-economic assessment. 🔸 Engage stakeholders from public authorities, NGOs, research institutions, and industry to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration. 🔸 Explore synergies with European and regional initiatives such as Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3P) and Circular Economy policies. Join us as we work towards a more sustainable and resilient European value chain for rare earth materials ♻️ 👉 Learn more about the project: https://neo-cycle.eu #ISMCinnovation #ISMC #CircularEconomy #RareEarths #Sustainability #Innovation #GreenTransition #HorizonEurope

You don’t have to understand Flemish to be amazed😱 Belgium inaugurated its longest tunnel built in history, connecting both sides of its port area across (under) the River Scheldt, for the flow of steam to move and generate sustainable energies. It’s in place to reduce the port operations’ CO2 levels by 50%. It is one of the largest industrial steam networks in Europe and began in 2019 💨They bored this tunnel without even digging slots - a technique called “micro-tunneling” was more effective.

How can we support the transition to renewable energy production in the EU, prioritizing an independent raw material supply chain and a more environmentally friendly approach? The SOLSTICE project, funded by the #Horizon2020 program, sought to answer this question. This short and informative video explains the idea and scope of the project to which I dedicated the three years of my doctoral studies.

The world is shifting from producing cheap to producing better, from efficiency to responsibility. #Greenshoring means being globally competitive with a low carbon and #waterfootprint, combining productivity, innovation, and growth.

In his recent column, Alessandro Semeria, Director of Circular Economy Safety Operations at Edison Next, rightly emphasized how crucial effective waste management has become for a sustainable industrial future. At ETAK, we fully share this vision - but we are already turning it into action. Our proprietary thermochemical reactor converts mixed waste directly into clean, high-calorific syngas, providing an immediate energy output instead of sending waste to landfills. This approach creates new value within the waste management value chain, transforming what was once a cost into a source of clean energy and revenue. We believe such solutions can strengthen the capabilities of sector leaders like Edison Next and are ready to collaborate on pilot projects that make the circular economy truly complete and energy-efficient. #EdisonNext Alessandro Semeria

Superinteresting project developed by my colleagues at SCA! A green project, or a part of Swedish/European resilience? Both, of course! At full speed, Biorefinery Östrand will provide the equivalent of all civilian and military demand of aviation fuel in Sweden - times at least two. Inputs are forest residuals and renewable energy. No strategic dependencies beyond Norrland. #sca #greenpower #jasgripen
