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 […]
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 […]
