AirCapture, OCOchem and partners win $2.93M DOE grant for direct air capture of CO2 and conversion to formic acid

Green Car Congress

OCOchem transforms recycled CO 2 , water and zero-carbon electricity to produce formic acid, a globally traded commodity chemical and emerging electro-fuel. The formic acid can then be stored, transported, and used directly in many industrial, consumer, transportation, and agricultural industries.

Study IDs two compressed air energy storage methods, sites for the Northwest

Green Car Congress

When power is abundant, it’s drawn from the electric grid and used to power a large air compressor, which pushes pressurized air into an underground geologic storage structure. Later, when power demand is high, the stored air is released back up to the surface, where it is heated and rushes through turbines to generate electricity.

RWE, GE, ZĂ¼blin, and DLR Partner in Development of Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage

Green Car Congress

Based on the ADELE concept (ADELE standing for the German acronym for adiabatic compressed air energy storage for electricity supply), air will be compressed during periods when electricity supply exceeds the demand; the resulting heat will be buffered in a thermal energy storage, and air will be pressed into underground caverns.
