In Nebraska, Mid America Agri Products/Wheatland (MAAPW) announced the start of carbon dioxide capture at its Madrid, Nebraska, ethanol facility, with volumes to be transported on Tallgrass’ Trailblazer Pipeline for permanent sequestration in Wyoming. “This achievement honors my father’s belief in acting boldly for the future,” said Tina Lundeen Smith, chairperson of the board and […]
In Austria, PORR has developed a CO2 storage cycle path in Burgenland. Optimised mixing processes are an essential part of the new PORR ESG strategy. With the use of recycled materials and the reduction of production temperatures, they contribute to CO2 reduction in construction projects. The CO 2 storage bike path in the municipality of […]
In Belgium, more than one year after entry into force of the CO₂ emission standards for new heavy-duty vehicles (Regulation (EU) 2024/1610), in force since 26 June, with legal effect from July 1, 2024 pursuant to Article 5, the European Commission has yet to follow up on the commitment outlined in Recital 17 to assess […]
In California, a team of Caltech chemists have developed a system that uses electricity from sustainable sources to carry out the chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into molecules, such as ethylene and carbon monoxide, that are useful for making more complex compounds. When this is accomplished using light as the energy source, without plants, […]
In Texas, Again is developing a new facility to convert waste CO₂ into reusable chemical products and bring sustainable chemical manufacturing to Texas. Based in Texas City, the commercial facility is part of Again’s mission to enable the decarbonization of the petrochemical industry. The first-of-a-kind commercial plant will recycle waste CO₂ emissions from a tenant […]
In China, electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) to produce value-added multi-carbon (C2+) products, especially ethanol, represents an effective strategy for sustainable energy conversion and achieving carbon neutrality. Although copper (Cu) is the standard electrocatalyst for C2+ product formation, it has inherent limitations related to its density, mechanical strength, susceptibility to corrosive environments, and the ongoing […]
In Saudi Arabia, Aramco has launched the Kingdom’s first CO2 Direct Air Capture (DAC) test unit, capable of removing 12 tons of carbon dioxide per year from the atmosphere. The pilot plant, developed in collaboration with Siemens Energy, represents a significant step in the company’s efforts to expand on its DAC capabilities. Aramco intends to […]
In Washington state, Homeostasis announced a successful Pre-Seed fundraise of $600,000 plus matching funds from the Washington Department of Commerce. Investments come from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, Kayak Ventures and angel investors. Homeostasis addresses a critical vulnerability in America’s industrial supply chain: our nation’s dependence on foreign sources for high-purity engineered graphite. Graphite, which […]
In California, a team at Stanford has developed a powerful yet low-energy way to trap atmospheric CO2 using heated minerals. Stanford University chemists have developed a practical and affordable way to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to combat global warming. Their new process uses heat to modify common minerals, turning them into […]
In Austria, Bright Renewables will build a carbon capture and CO2 liquefaction system for EnergieWerk Ilg GmbH in Dornbirn, Austria. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the waste gas of EnergieWerk’s wood-fired power plant will be captured and liquefied for a wide range of industrial uses. The system is to be commissioned at the end of July […]
