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 […]
By Sam Rushing, President, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd., WWW.CARBONDIOXIDECONSULTANTS.COM. 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 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 […]
A new DOE project is quantifying resource availability and costs for CO2 utilization (CO2U) in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production to inform industry, technology communities, and policymakers on location-specific economic and societal impacts. It will provide insights to guide R&D efforts to achieve BETO’s decarbonization goals, SAFcost and production targets, while meeting DOE’s energy justice […]
In West Virginia, researchers at West Virginia University have taken the first steps toward developing technology that can capture carbon dioxide in the air and use it for eco-friendly manufacturing of methanol. The process they have begun modeling — which involves pulling air from buildings — could increase the sustainable supply of methanol, one of […]
The DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office seeks to decarbonize the U.S. economy by developing efficient and economical biological and chemical technologies to convert renewable carbon resources into bioenergy and renewable chemicals and materials. Good news? CO2 represents an abundant resource with potential for very low carbon footprint. The Bad news? There’s no energy, to work with […]
By Sam A. Rushing, President, Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd Special to The Digest The global merchant CO2 industry represents around 22 million metric tons of consumption annually; of which the US is in excess of 40% of this grand total. To follow in tonnage, would be Europe, then Japan. Let’s say the merchant CO2 industry in […]
In North Carolina, in a new study, North Carolina State University researchers demonstrated that it’s possible to make carbon dioxide capture filters using 3D printing. Specifically, they printed a hydrogel material that can hold carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme that speeds a reaction that turns carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate. The findings, published in the […]
In the UK, Linde announced that it has signed a long-term agreement with ExxonMobil for the off-take of carbon dioxide associated with Linde’s new clean hydrogen production in Beaumont, Texas. Linde previously announced that it will build, own and operate an on-site complex to supply clean hydrogen and nitrogen to OCI Global’s new world-scale blue […]
In Massachusetts, recently, the possibility of removing carbon dioxide directly from ocean water has emerged as another promising possibility for mitigating CO2 emissions, one that could potentially someday even lead to overall net negative emissions. But, like air capture systems, the idea has not yet led to any widespread use, though there are a few […]
