In Estonia, UP Catalyst, a leading Estonian nanotechnology company, will, together with a consortium of industry experts develop a revolutionary molten- salt- regeneration technology based on circular- economy principles. The new system has the potential to, significantly reduce waste, and it allows the reuse of carbonate salt up to 100 times. The project, named MoReCCU, […]
In Iowa, agricultural economic experts released a new study that found Iowa ethanol production is at a crossroads. Without viable access to carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), Iowa could see 75 percent of its ethanol production migrate to states that facilitate sequestration. The study, conducted by Decision Innovation Solutions (DIS), determined that current market and policy […]
In Washington, Energy Wire reports Bracewell launched the Capture Action Project last month to lobby for support of large-scale carbon capture projects while the government prepares to invest $8.2 billion in the growing sector. Previously the firm opposed CCS on behalf of its utility clients but has since made an about face on the issue […]
In Germany, researchers at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart have determined significant reduction in greenhouse gases is feasible with a trick: A combination of bioethanol production from renewable resources with carbon capture and storage technologies. Depending on the calculation approach used, a reduction of more than 100 percent compared to the EU benchmark for […]
In Iowa, Summit Carbon Solutions is pleased to announce a new partnership with Northern Plains Nitrogen (“NPN”) in its carbon capture and storage project, which is focused on decarbonizing the agriculture and biofuels industries. NPN is developing a world-scale blue ammonia plant near Grand Forks, North Dakota, which will supply a range of low carbon […]
With Net Zero Pledges, there are projects, projects everywhere to ensure the world meets its carbon reduction goals through new fuels & energy, or carbon capture & sequestration. Check out this slide guide from DigestConnect with Dave Collings, Senior Technical Advisory Consultant at 1898 & Co. and explore the technologies, policies, geographies, options, and pathways […]
In Singapore, Shell will build a new pyrolysis oil upgrader unit that improves the quality of pyrolysis oil, a liquid made from hard-to-recycle plastic waste that would have gone into a landfill, and turns it into chemical feedstock for its plant. Slated to start production in 2023, the unit at Shell’s manufacturing site on Pulau […]
In Texas, ExxonMobil initiated the process for engineering, procurement and construction contracts as part of its plans to expand carbon capture and storage (CCS) at its LaBarge, Wyoming facility, which has already captured more CO2 than any other facility in the world. The expansion project will capture up to 1 million metric tons of CO2, […]
In Louisiana, Strategic Biofuels LLC says its Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Test Well Program was successfully completed at the company’s Louisiana Green Fuels Project (LGF) in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana. LGF is the first renewable diesel fuel project to achieve this milestone. The goals of the test well program were to demonstrate that carbon dioxide […]
In California, Aemetis, Inc. announced that it has opened negotiations for the supply of 1.6 million metric tons (MT) per year of CO2 for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) to be located at or near the two Aemetis renewable fuels plant sites in Central California near Modesto. It is anticipated that the capacity of each […]
