CCS – A useful climate protection measure?

News 09/15/2026

The capture, transport and safe storage of carbon dioxide, as well as its utilisation – also known as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) – are intended to support the path to climate neutrality. However, the use of this technology is the subject of heated debate due to concerns that CCS could hinder necessary climate protection efforts, as well as potential environmental impacts. What role can CCS play in effective, af-fordable climate protection? Where would it be sensible to use this technology? Where could CO₂ be stored in Germany? We address these questions in the latest issue of eco@work.

Precise Characterization of Black Masses as the Key to Efficient Battery Recycling

News 08/31/2026

The current EU Battery Regulation prescribes ambitious recycling quotas. However, the key prerequisites for efficient battery recycling are intelligent recycling processes, reliable assessment, and high-quality processing of recycled materials from lithium-ion batteries. With the SHERLOCK project, a research initiative is starting to tackle these challenges—another building block on the path toward an economic and sustainable circular economy for batteries.
