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 […]
In California, Aemetis commenced deliveries under a long-term agreement with Messer to supply carbon dioxide to a newly-constructed, state-of-the-art CO2 plant located adjacent to the Aemetis ethanol plant. The ethanol Plant will provide about 450 tons of CO2 daily for use in food, beverage and other Industries, helping meet market shortage caused by COVID-19 crisis. […]
In California, Airgas, an Air Liquide company, announced the grand opening of its new liquid carbon dioxide and dry ice facility in Stockton. The facility, which was engineered to have minimal environmental impact, is a zero runoff/discharge site. Technology at the site will capture and recycle all process and rain water that comes in contact with […]
In Tennessee, chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated a practical, energy-efficient method of capturing carbon dioxide directly from air. If deployed at large scale and coupled to geologic storage, the technique may bolster the portfolio of responses to global climate change. “Negative emissions technologies—for net removal of greenhouse gases […]
In India, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore are taking a queue from companies like LanzaTech and found a new way to create energy using carbon dioxide. By using sunlight, along with Copper Aluminum Sulphate and Zinc Sulphide, they were able to convert carbon dioxide salts into a fuel source. According to Crazy […]
In California, Bloomberg reports that carbon dioxide prices for the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard’s compliance program have been crumbling in light of the Air Resources Board’s rejigging of the fuels policy that would see less ambitious carbon cuts through 2030. Prices for CO2 were quoted in early March at $74 per metric ton, the […]
By Ron Cascone, Principal, Nexant, Inc. Special to The Digest Emissions of carbon dioxide by industrial and chemical processes have come under increasing pressure in recent years with regulatory and consumer scrutiny. A number of industrial and commercial consortia and individual companies are committing to major reductions in their carbon footprints. Although technical solutions for […]
