Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have created a new system—the least costly to date—that efficiently captures CO 2 and converts it into methanol. The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have identified a suite of technologies to help California to become carbon-neutral—and ultimately carbon-negative —by 2045. Source: “Getting to Neutral”. The report codifies a number of significant conclusions by researchers at eight institutions.

Electrochaea GmbH, a European provider of renewable methane technology, has established a California-based US subsidiary, Electrochaea Corporation, to accelerate the commercial roll-out of its technology in North America. This gas can be directly injected into the existing natural gas grid or used immediately.

Vertimass originally licensed the technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in 2014. Through the ability to process vapor containing about 40% ethanol in water that is released when fermentation streams are volatilized, overall CADO costs for conversion of wet ethanol into the hydrocarbon blendstocks are estimated at $2.00/GJ

The new study by scientists at the University of California Berkeley and the University of Minnesota is published in Nature Chemistry. In order to use plants to make new materials, both problems must be solved—the conversion process needs to strip oxygen atoms from the glucose, and molecules must be combined to make larger products.
