In Florida, Florida State University (FSU) said that a new, biomass-based material developed by FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers can be used to repeatedly capture and release carbon dioxide. The material is primarily made from lignin, an organic molecule that is a main component of wood and other plants, and it can take up carbon […]
By Sam A. Rushing – Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd. Special to The Digest This article on CO2 usage in the food industry is one in a series for the applications which are predominant and important in the carbon dioxide industry. This subject is […]
By Sam A. Rushing Special to The Digest Carbon dioxide is principally sold in the developed markets to the food and beverage industries; ‘food grade’ standards and somewhat vague at times; however beverage applications demand strict quality standards. CO2 specifications for food related service, as I have observed over the years, has a range of […]
In Germany, the DECHEMA report ‘Carbon for Power-to-X – Suitable CO2 sources and integration in PtX value chains’ deals with possibilities to capture and utilize carbon dioxide for sustainable production routes. Carbon dioxide can serve as a carbon feed for numerous climate friendly commodities produced with Power-to-X technologies. The report elaborates on point sources and […]
By Sam A. Rushing, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd., www.carbondioxideconsultants.com Special to The Digest Of today’s approximate 20 million annual tons per year in CO2 merchant consumption, would be some 40% consumed in the United States. To follow, would be Japan; and then to follow the European Zone. Of the most interesting applications in the carbon dioxide […]
In Massachusetts, MIT chemical engineers have devised an efficient way to convert carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, a chemical precursor that can be used to generate useful compounds such as ethanol and other fuels. If scaled up for industrial use, this process could help to remove carbon dioxide from power plants and other sources, reducing […]
By Sam A. Rushing, President, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd. Special to The Digest Carbon dioxide is generally thought of by those who are not in the gases industries as either a greenhouse gas; and/or for use in beverage carbonation, and perhaps fire abatement. To those in the gases industries, carbon dioxide is known for much more; […]
In the UK, Linde has started supplying clean hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide to Celanese. Linde is supplying Celanese with carbon dioxide captured from its state-of-the-art carbon monoxide and hydrogen production facility at Clear Lake, Texas. Celanese will use the captured carbon dioxide and resulting clean hydrogen, along with other carbon dioxide sources, as feedstock […]

In Finland, the E-fuel project run by VTT and partners has developed a concept for producing electrofuel from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide using a combination of different methods. On Nov. 21, this paraffinic E-fuel was tested for the first time in Finland on a diesel-powered tractor at AGCO Power’s Linnavuori factory in Nokia. The […]
