In South Dakota, POET and Tallgrass announced they have entered into definitive agreements to connect POET’s Fairmont, Nebraska bioprocessing facility to the Tallgrass Trailblazer carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline. Under the arrangement, the POET facility will capture bioCO2 for transportation and permanent underground sequestration in Wyoming. The Trailblazer project is under construction and expected to commence […]
In Washington, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) announced new comprehensive proposed requirements for carbon dioxide (CO2) and hazardous liquid pipelines. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) will strengthen existing standards for hazardous liquid and CO₂ pipelines (including CO2 that is transported in a supercritical fluid state), and for […]
In Denmark, researchers from Aarhus University have developed a new technology that uses microorganisms to convert the CO2 in flue gas directly for new purposes – for example fuels or substances for the chemicals industry. The technology can exploit CO2 as a raw material, unlike conventional carbon capture and storage (CCS), which captures carbon from […]
In Norway, Sintef reported that a EU-funded project will promote CO2 capture and improve economic sustainability by converting waste CO2 to value added products. Converting industrial CO2 waste streams into feedstock in an economical and energy-efficient manner is essential for sectors to meet EU climate targets and boost their competitiveness, Sintef said. Many production processes […]
In Belgium, the Working Group on Monitoring Methodologies (WGMM) officially handed over its key report on “Monitoring the use of CO2 neutral fuels in road transport – a cross-sectoral industry assessment” to the European Commission. This report presents and analyses 11 potential technological options for the exclusive use of CO2 neutral fuels (CNFs) in new […]
In Japan, hydrogels created using carbon dioxide (CO₂) offer a safer alternative to those formed with acidic agents. While most research has focused on pre-gelation conditions affecting hydrogel properties, this study by researchers from Tokyo University of Science explores the impact of CO₂ release after gelation. The team prepared alginate-based hydrogels and found that faster […]
In China, Jiangsu Sailboat Petrochemical (Sailboat) started commercial operation of a new carbonates plant in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, the People’s Republic of China, in November 2024. The plant uses technology licensed from Asahi Kasei for the production of high-purity ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with carbon dioxide (CO2) as a main raw material. […]
In India, PV Magazine reported that Ohmium International, a green hydrogen company that designs, manufactures, and deploys advanced proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, has partnered with the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Breathe Applied Sciences, and Spirare Energy on India’s first CO2-to-Green Methanol plant. The project will combine green hydrogen generated by […]
In India, The Economic Times reported that energy transition company Jakson Green has synthesized methanol from Co2 using a synthesis process as part of a pilot project awarded by power giant NTPC. “Jakson Green has achieved a global first. Jakson Green has successfully synthesized methanol from captured carbon dioxide at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Thermal Power Plant,” […]
In Ohio, Babcock & Wilcox has been awarded a contract to conduct a full-scale feasibility study of its SolveBright carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology to be integrated into Mälarenergi AB’s waste-to-energy plant in Västerås, Sweden. Mälarenergi’s goal is to capture 400,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, permanently store the CO2 and achieve carbon neutrality […]
