DNV and PSE develop concept for on-ship chemical CO2 capture; capable of reducing ship CO2 emissions by up to 65%

Green Car Congress

The results from the Maritime CCS (carbon capture and storage) research and development project show that the concept is technically feasible and capable of reducing ship CO 2 emissions by up to 65%. Nikolaos Kakalis, Head of DNV Research & Innovation Greece. This has been a challenging design problem with tight constraints.

Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

The report provides updated results on the continuous monitoring of the three main greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Also in Eurasia emissions grew in Turkey (5%) and Ukraine (8%). Other greenhouse gases keep creeping up.

grams (g) of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) per kilometer more than in 2016. The biggest decrease of diesel cars was registered in Greece and Luxemburg (- 19 and – 17 percentage points). While past years have seen steady declines, new passenger cars registered in 2017 emitted on average 0.4 g/km last year to 118.5g/km. percentage point).

Its expanding production is driving rainforest destruction and massive carbon dioxide emissions, according to a new study led by researchers at Stanford and Yale universities. The total allocated leases spanned about 120,000 square kilometers, an area slightly smaller than Greece. Eighty percent of leases remained unplanted in 2010.

Electrochemical Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production; 50% the CO2 and 25% the energy

Green Car Congress

Ammonia, produced via the Haber-Bosch (HB) process, is globally the leading chemical in energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Now, a team of researchers in Greece has demonstrated how these steps can be integrated into a single BaZrO 3 -based protonic ceramic membrane reactor (PCMR), operating at atmospheric pressure.
