NASA’s New Earth Space Mission maps methane ‘super-emitters’

Green Car Congress

But EMIT has demonstrated another capability: detecting the presence of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Super-emitters are facilities, equipment, and other infrastructure, typically in the fossil-fuel, waste, or agriculture sectors, that emit methane at high rates. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Port of Corpus Christi, Howard announce to convert Javelina refinery services facility to blue hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Javelina controls approximately sixty million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of hydrogen production through a combination of hydrogen entrained in the refineries’ waste gas that the facility processes, and hydrogen produced through a steam methane reformer process. Howard closed on the purchase of Javelina in February of this year.

NRC report concludes hydraulic fracturing poses low risk for causing earthquakes, but risks are higher for wastewater injection wells; CCS impact undetermined

Green Car Congress

Schematic diagram of a shale gas well following hydraulic fracture treatment, with the relative depths of local water wells shown for scale. Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) extracts natural gas by injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals in short bursts at high pressure into deep underground wells.

DOE awards $34M to 19 projects to advance clean hydrogen

Green Car Congress

intends to develop a modular, sorbent-based air separation unit (ASU) for oxygen production to support low-cost hydrogen production from gasification of biomass and/or wastes. The team intends to address the requirement of advancing modular air separation to support modular gasification-based hydrogen production.
