UC Berkeley chemists created the first such carbon-capture MOF in 2015, and subsequent versions have proved even more efficient at removing carbon dioxide from flue gases, such as those from a coal-fired power plant. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely.

Altex Technologies has selected Unitel to provide engineering services to design and build a pilot system that will produce 1 BPD of synthetic gasoline from biomass (Biomass Conversion to Synthetic Gasoline System, BCSGS). In a patent application published 1 December 2015, Altex described the basic approach for its synthetic fuels processes.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected two projects for continuation within the Department’s Solid State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA) Program research portfolio. The selections were based upon an assessment of demonstrated progress in developing high-performance, low-cost SOFC technology.

This fact is due in large part to SO 2 and GHG emissions from coal-fired power plants.Although the costs of damages from vehicle-associated emissions are significant, the damage reductions that can be gained through electrification are small compared to the total cost of owning and operating a vehicle.

Simplified flowsheet of the proposed solar hybridized coal- to-liquids (SCTL) process with the proposed solar hybridized dual fluidized bed (SDFB) gasifier. Hence, it is desirable to seek alternative concepts with potential to address these challenges for the solar hybridized coal-to-liquids (SCTL) process. Credit: ACS, Guo et al.

Until recently, CNTs had not been produced at low energies, nor had they been produced in high yield from CO 2. In 2015 we introduced the efficient transformation splitting of CO 2 by electrolysis in molten carbonates to form carbon nanotubes and nanofibers at high yield.

Many of the vehicles on the road in 2030 will have been built by 2015, and these will lower the fuel economy of the on-road fleet. For BEVs to operate with low GHG emissions, coal- and natural gas-fired electricity generation might have to be greatly reduced unless CCS proves cost-effective.
