In South Korea, LG Chem said it will construct a plant in Daesan, Korea, with the capacity to produce 50,000 tons of hydrogen annually by Q2 2024. This plant will be the first LG Chem site to produce pure hydrogen, apart from those earned as off-gases. The new plant employs technology which converts methane to […]
In the UK, researchers at Cambridge University have developed a low-cost device that can selectively capture carbon dioxide gas while it charges. Then, when it discharges, the CO2 can be released in a controlled way and collected to be reused or disposed of responsibly. Designed by researchers from the University of Cambridge, the supercapacitor could […]
In Michigan, an integrated approach to land management practices in the U.S. can reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere far more than earlier estimates based on separate approaches, Michigan State University researchers say. Their research was published May 31 in the journal Global Change Biology. Researchers are now finding how combining those practices might reduce […]
In Japan, photoreduction of CO2 into transportable fuel like formic acid (HCOOH) is a great way of dealing with CO2’s rising levels in the atmosphere. To aid in this mission, a research team from Tokyo Tech chose an easily available iron-based mineral and loaded it onto an alumina support to develop a catalyst that can […]
In Nebraska, Tallgrass announced it has entered into an agreement with ADM that would pave the way for Tallgrass to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from ADM’s corn-processing complex in Columbus, Neb., and transport it to Tallgrass’ Eastern Wyoming Sequestration Hub for permanent underground storage. By utilizing a converted natural gas pipeline for CO2 transportation, Tallgrass […]
In Sweden, international research team led by researchers of Stockholm University has for the first time been able to study the surface of a copper-zinc catalyst when carbon dioxide is reduced to methanol. The results – obtained at DESY´s brilliant light source PETRA III – are published in the scientific journal Science. A better knowledge […]
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 Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. signed a Memorandum of Understanding with California-based Infinium, which has proprietary technology that converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into ultra-low carbon fuels—known as Electrofuels—for use in today’s planes, ships and truck fleets. The agreement, which builds on MHI’s 2021 investment in Infinium, will focus on exploring the deployment of […]
In Oman, H2-Industries and Public Establishment For Industrial Estates – Madayan signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a waste-to-hydrogen plant in conjunction with PV solar power plants with base-load capacity in the Sultanate of Oman. The facility will initially convert up to one million tons of municipal solid waste each year. The proposed US […]
In California, Heirloom, a direct air capture company permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere, has raised $53 million in a Series A funding round co-led by Carbon Direct Capital Management, Ahren Innovation Capital, and Breakthrough Energy Ventures, with The Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund as an additional participant. Alice Newcombe-Ellis of Ahren will join Heirloom’s board […]
