BNEF: global carbon capture capacity due to rise sixfold by 2030

Green Car Congress

Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is a key technology needed to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as petrochemicals and cement, and to provide 24/7 clean power through gas plants fitted with capture equipment. In 2021, some 73% of captured CO 2 went to enhanced oil recovery operations.

Idaho National Laboratory low-energy electrochemical process could eliminate need for steam cracking of hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

Typically the steam cracking of ethane has a conversion rate of 70%, with ethylene yields of about 50%. The current oversupply of ethane, a major component of natural gas liquids, due to the shale gas revolution has stimulated the shift to ethane from naphtha for ethylene production. Ding et al.
