DOE to award $32M for FEED studies for production of rare earths and critical minerals and materials from coal

Green Car Congress

Coal and coal production waste contain a wide variety of valuable rare earth elements that can be converted into clean energy technology components. The US currently has more than 250 billion tons of coal reserves, more than 4 billion tons of waste coal, and about 2 billion tons of coal ash at various sites across the country.

8 Rivers announces 8RH2 CO2 Convective Reformer for ultra-low carbon hydrogen production from natural gas

Green Car Congress

8 Rivers Capital announced the development of the 8RH2 CO 2 Convective Reformer—a technology for the production of ultra-low carbon hydrogen from natural gas. It uses the oxy-combustion of carbon fuels and a high-pressure supercritical CO 2 working fluid in a highly recuperated cycle that captures all emissions by design.

Norwegian startup Blastr plans €4B green steel plant in Finland

Green Car Congress

Fortum has developed the Joddböle area since the dismantling of its Inkoo coal-fired power plant there in 2017-2020. The area has excellent conditions for industrial activities: a deep-water harbor and an excellent electricity transmission network. With the green steel produced in Inkoo, we aim to reduce carbon emissions by 4.6

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. Hot iron and coal ash are left behind. 2 millimeters across.

SAF company DG Fuels closes investments with two Japanese companies

Green Car Congress

These facilities typically use approximately one ton of coal to produce one BBL of hydrocarbons, with a life cycle CO 2 emissions calculation that is slightly worse than equivalent fuels derived from conventional oil refining. DGF replaces the coal gasification used by others with biomass gasification and natural gas reforming.

New catalyst opens door to CO2 capture in coal-to-liquids process

Green Car Congress

World energy consumption projections expect coal to stay one of the world’s main energy sources in the coming decades, and a growing share of it will be used in CT—the conversion of coal to liquid fuels (CTL). By 2020, CTL is expected to account for 15% of the coal use in China. —Wang et al.

Energy Vault to provide 1.6 GWh of gravity energy storage to support DG Fuels SAF projects

Green Car Congress

Energy Vault’s advanced gravity energy storage solutions are based on the proven physics and mechanical engineering fundamentals of pumped hydroelectric energy storage, but replace water with custom-made composite blocks, or “mobile masses”, which do not lose storage capacity over time. barrel per ton of feedstock.
