Large-scale CO2 injection test begins in Illinois

Green Car Congress

The test is part of the development phase of the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships program, an Office of Fossil Energy initiative launched in 2003 to determine the best approaches for capturing and permanently storing gases that can contribute to global climate change.

New LLNL technique for CO2 capture also produces green hydrogen and alkalinity to offset ocean acidification

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have discovered and demonstrated a new technique to remove and store atmospheric carbon dioxide while generating carbon-negative hydrogen and producing alkalinity, which can be used to offset ocean acidification.

CO2-neutral hydrogen storage with a bicarbonate/formate system

Green Car Congress

Metal hydride tanks store hydrogen in a relatively manageable volume but are very heavy and expensive, as well as operating only at high temperatures or far too slowly. The nontoxic aqueous solution of formate is easily stored and transported. to sodium formate in 96% yield at 70 °C in water/THF without additional CO 2.

NESCO’s area of focus will expand to include waste water loss and waste reduction, in addition to energy loss and CO 2 reduction. The Nissan LEAF electric vehicle has the ability to safely and conveniently supply electricity stored within its high-capacity lithium-ion batteries to a home through the LEAF to Home power supply system.

97% carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. In these CO 2 capture configurations, the water produced at the anode is easily captured and recycled for use in the system, resulting in significantly lower net water consumption than competing technologies. Background. CCRP has recently established new goals for coal power with carbon capture.

Texas Clean Energy Project signs long-term CO2 offtake agreement with Whiting Petroleum for enhanced oil recovery; 90% CO2 capture from IGCC coal polygen plant

Green Car Congress

In oil fields such as Whiting’s, the injected CO 2 mixes with the oil that is left behind in the primary oil-well production and the secondary water-injection stage. Ultimately, some 99% of the injected CO 2 can be permanently stored (i.e. Ultimately, some 99% of the injected CO 2 can be permanently stored (i.e. produce urea.

formation is very negative in water and in most common solvents. It requires so much electricity to drive this first reaction that more energy is used to produce the fuel than can be stored in the fuel.
