Nornickel investigating using mining tailings to capture and store CO2

Green Car Congress

Ore mining and concentration results in waste rock, or tailings—fine-grained rock (less than 0.4 As a waste, tailings are stored in designated storage facilities called tailing dams. Silica and magnesium oxide contained in waste rock can absorb carbon dioxide during weathering (long-term exposure to air).

Battery recycling shatters the myth of EV waste – ET Auto

Baua Electric

A new analysis by Stanford University researchers, which is still under peer review, found that Redwood Materials ‘ recycling process produces up to 80% fewer emissions than the traditional supply chain using CO2 belching refineries. Closing the loop brings the total CO2 savings to 80%.

Wärtsilä to supply a major LNG/bioLNG production plant for CO2-neutral transport fuels

Green Car Congress

The use of LNG as an emissions-reducing fuel in the marine and transportation industries is already well established, and to introduce bioLNG which can be mixed with LNG is the next obvious step in enabling a CO2-neutral transportation fuel. The feedstock for bioLNG is based on biological waste material—e.g.
