The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton. The process takes flue gas from power plants, uses a PNNL-patented solvent to strip out CO 2 , then converts the CO 2 into methanol. The catalysts commonly used for gas-phase CO 2 hydrogenation (e.g.,

When it comes to lower-emission alternatives to diesel in long-haul trucks, natural gas has some positives. In addition to being cleaner burning, the fuel is in abundant supply, and doesn't come with any severe range or performance shortfalls. But the extra cost of natural-gas powered vehicles has largely kept fleet operators away.
