In Germany, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere, alongside rapidly reducing emissions, is needed to reach the Paris Agreement temperature goal to limit warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius and pursue efforts to achieve 1.5°C. This is highlighted in the first “State of Carbon Dioxide Removal” report, which convenes over 20 experts in […]
In California, Vertimass announced that a consortium with whom it is partnering has been awarded approximately $1.35 million to pilot the conversion of green hydrogen and carbon dioxide into sustainable aviation fuel. The company noted that the funds were granted by the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP) in Denmark. “The conversion of carbon […]
By Mark Robertson, PE., Lee Enterprises Consulting Special to The Digest Thermo-catalytic decomposition of methane (TCDM) converts methane directly into hydrogen and a useful solid carbon byproduct, with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The resultant (turquoise) hydrogen can be used as a fuel in power generation, heating, transportation and for industrial hydrogen use. The solid carbon […]
The objective of this project is to develop an electrochemically-driven CO2 separator (EDCS) with 155 kg/m2yr air capture at <5.4 GJ/t (1.5 MWh/t), to characterize PAP ionomer properties to support future Development, and to demonstrate EDCS module with 200 g/day removal and >0.4 CO2 captured per electron. Brian P. Setzler and Yushan Yan of the […]
In Germany, Covestro and SOL Kohlensäure GmbH & Co. KG have concluded a framework agreement for a supply partnership for biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). With immediate effect, SOL, as one of the most important European suppliers of gases and gas services, will supply the liquefied gas to Covestro sites in North Rhine-Westphalia, where it will […]
In Canada, Anaergia Inc. has signed an agreement with European Energy A/S. Under the terms of this agreement Anaergia is to supply European Energy with up to 60,000 metric tons per year of liquefied biogenic Carbon Dioxide for a period of 10 years. Biogenic carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide that is released during the decomposition […]
In Canada, Anaergia announced an agreement with European Energy for the provision of liquefied biogenic carbon dioxide. Under the terms of the agreement Anaergia is to supply European Energy with up to 60,000 tons per year of liquefied biogenic carbon dioxide for a period of 10 years. The company highlighted that biogenic carbon dioxide is […]
In the Netherlands, Avantium N.V. has been awarded a €3 million grant by the EU Horizon Europe program for its participation in the 4-year research and development program WaterProof. This program aims to demonstrate the value of electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value chemicals and products. The €3 million grant will be paid […]
In Oregon, carbon dioxide can be harvested from smokestacks and used to create commercially valuable chemicals thanks to a novel compound developed by a scientific collaboration led by an Oregon State University researcher. Published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, the study shows that the new metal organic framework, loaded with a common industrial […]
In Nebraska, the Associated Press reports that the Sierra Club and Bold Nebraska, an NGO leading the charge against the XL Keystone pipeline, have come out against the proposed carbon dioxide pipelines by Summit Carbon Solutions and Navigator CO2 Ventures. They claim the risk is too high of leakages, that regulation for this new kind […]
