Renewable-methanol fueled Geely cars in fleet testing in Iceland; 70% reduction in WTW CO2 compared to gasoline

Green Car Congress

The average in-use emissions were calculated as 46 g CO2 per kilometer, accounting for the consumption of both fuels. CRI has joined 42 other stakeholders from across the EEA region to launch CO2 Value Europe, a new European association dedicated to promoting CO2 utilization.

DOE Regional Partnership Initiates CO2 Injection in Lignite Coal Seam

Green Car Congress

A US Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) team of regional partners has begun injecting CO 2 into a deep lignite coal seam in Burke County, North Dakota, to demonstrate the economic and environmental viability of geologic CO 2 storage in the US Great Plains region. In collaboration with Eagle Operating Inc.,

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

Researchers at George Washington University led by Dr. Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes).

DOE, NRG In $334M Cooperative Project for Post-Combustion Carbon Capture, Storage and EOR Project; 400,000 Tons of CO2 Per Year

Green Car Congress

Sequestration will begin in 2014, with project completion set for 2017. The technology would apply to many additional coal-based electric power plants in the United States and throughout the world. The University of Texas, Bureau of Economic Geology will provide expertise with design of carbon management and plant monitoring.

UK power crisis – entirely the fault of regulators and ministers

EV Info

We have closed most of the coal plants and several the aging nuclear plants are moving offline as they close for repair of reach end of life. Centrica closed the vast Rough storage facility in 2017 prompting concerns about gas pricing. Most CO2 is a by-product of making fertilisers. Nuclear 15%. Biomass 5%. See [link].

SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall launch long-term initiative for CO2-free ironmaking for steel production

Green Car Congress

Conventional direct reduced iron is produced by the reduction (removal of oxygen) of iron oxide lumps or pellets at 800-1050 °C—below the melting point of iron (1536 °C)—by interaction with reductants (H2+CO) derived from natural gas or coal. The HYBRIT project has an almost 20-year timeline: Pre-feasibility study from 2016-2017.
