OSU team demonstrates Coal-Direct Chemical Looping for more efficient and low carbon coal heat release

Green Car Congress

An Ohio State University team has demonstrated the successful operation of Coal-Direct Chemical Looping (CDCL)—which chemically harnesses coal’s energy and efficiently contains the carbon dioxide produced before it can be released into the atmosphere. The technology is now ready for testing at a larger scale.

Researchers combining CO2 storage and geothermal energy production

Green Car Congress

Between five and ten percent of the water injected in these systems is lost as it travels through the pore spaces. As this happens, more water must be added, perhaps from municipal sources that have little to spare. The technology could help offset the cost of geologic carbon storage. But no one has tried to do it until now.

Will AI Steal Submarines’ Stealth?

Cars That Think

This timing is particularly significant because the enormous costs required to design and build a submarine are meant to be spread out over at least 60 years. Nuclear-powered submarines, such as the Virginia - class fast-attack submarine, each cost roughly US $2.8 It may come. billion , according to the U.S. two methods offer.
