DOE-supported CO2-capture project hits major milestone: 4 million metric tons

Green Car Congress

In addition to demonstrating the integration of Air Products’ vacuum swing adsorption technology, the project is also helping to verify that CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) is an effective method for permanently storing CO 2. Injected CO 2 can dissolve and displace oil residue that is trapped in rock pores.

Santos reports successful CO2 capture and storage injection trial in Moomba CCS project

Green Car Congress

Ultimately, the Moomba CCS Project has the potential to store up to 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. Today, CCS projects store around 40 million tonnes per year of carbon dioxide, far short of the more than two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide the IEA forecasts that CCS projects will need to store each year by 2040.

Snam and Saipem sign MoU to work together on green hydrogen development and CO2 capture

Green Car Congress

This agreement also involves a collaborative effort to develop feasibility studies in order to find new solutions to transport hydrogen in both liquid and gaseous form, by using and adapting existing infrastructure and networks as well as by shipping it by vessel, and to capture, transport, store or enhance CO 2.

KIT and Wintershall Dea collaborating to develop industrial-scale methane pyrolysis for CO2-free production of hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Methane pyrolysis separates methane (CH 4 ) into gaseous hydrogen and solid carbon that is a valuable material for various industry branches and can also be stored safely. The company with German roots and headquarters in Kassel and Hamburg explores for and produces gas and oil in 13 countries worldwide.

ClassNK grants Approval in Principle for new H2/CO2 FPSO design; offshore production of H2 and CO2 from associated gas from offshore wells

Green Car Congress

FPSOs are commonly used in the offshore oil and gas industry process and store crude oil and liquefied gas from offshore wells until it can be transported via pipelines to shore or via ship-to-ship transfer.

Stanford team proposes method for electricity production from oil shale with in situ carbon capture to provide transportation energy with reduced CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

A team at Stanford University is proposing using solid oxide fuel cells as the basis for a method for electricity production from oil shale with in situ carbon capture (EPICC) as a means to provide transportation services from oil shale with greatly reduced CO 2 emissions. times those from other proposed oil shale conversion processes.
