In the quest to combat environmental pollution, particularly the persistent contamination of water by hazardous chemicals, a team of researchers in Japan has developed a groundbreaking approach. By harnessing lignin and glucose, two carbon-rich substances, they have created innovative materials designed to remove harmful “forever chemicals”—perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—from water.

Many people assume that staying indoors protects them from air pollution, but recent research suggests otherwise. A new study from the University of Birmingham reveals that air pollution levels inside homes can be higher—and more unpredictable—than those outside, even when outdoor air quality is good.

Solar-Powered Carbon Capture – Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a reactor that efficiently converts atmospheric CO2 into sustainable fuel using only sunlight, offering a scalable alternative to conventional carbon capture methods.

China is the world’s largest carbon emitter and is at a critical crossroads. While the country has made significant strides in renewable energy, coal remains deeply embedded in its energy system.With a new Energy Law now in effect, many are wondering: Will this be the breakthrough policy that helps China peak carbon emissions by 2030?

We have an important update regarding WieTec 2025. Due to the recent revisions to China’s national holiday schedule, specifically the Dragon Boat Festival, the event dates have been adjusted by one day.

Honeycomb-activated carbon has been a key player in VOCs (volatile organic compounds) treatment for years, but recent policy debates have sparked questions about its future. Let’s dive into the ongoing discussions, the advantages and disadvantages of this technology, and what it means for the industry.
