In the Netherlands, GIDARA Energy and OCAP (subsidiary of Linde Gas) announce that a sustainable energy transition subsidy scheme (SDE++) has been granted for the CO2 capturing and distribution for Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) at the Advanced Methanol Amsterdam (AMA) Facility, with a maximum subsidy grant amount of 110 million euro. The subsidy is […]
In Germany, the Renewable Carbon Initiative, CO2 Value Europe and nova-Institute have published a study showing the CO2 reduction potential of the chemical industry through carbon capture and utilization. In an exploratory scenario, the study “CO2 reduction potential of the chemical industry through CCU” investigates the greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions that can be achieved in […]
In Belgium, a petition for Carbon capture and use support was presented to Marie Donnelly, Director Renewables, Research and Innovation, Energy Efficiency, European Commission DG Energy; 86 renowned companies and leading universities have already signed. The authors asked for inclusion of the following mechanisms in the new legislation on the Renewable Package: • To fully […]
In Germany, a group of experts are petitioning European decision makers involved in the revision of the Renewable Package to include six crucial mechanisms in the legislation. The authors argue that Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) technologies will play a crucial role in the future renewable energy system and for climate protection. CO2 is not […]
It was back in 2010 that the first large-scale set of projects were funded to to test innovative concepts for the beneficial use of carbon dioxide, part of a Recovery Act investment into carbon capture technology. The DOE pumped $106 million into the effort. 12 projects did phase 1 feasibility studies, six went on to […]
Well, you can’t just capture carbon these days. That’s mundane. You have to use it, in a sustainable and novel way that makes carbon capture more affordable and cycles carbon more effectively through the industrial system. As LanzaTech’s Jennifer Holmgren observed in a recent article by Peter Forbes in Aeon: “Carbon is precious. This means we […]
