Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have demonstrated a room-temperature method that could significantly reduce carbon dioxide levels in fossil-fuel power plant exhaust, one of the main sources of carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
Their use as catalysts in the synthesis of high value-added chemical products such as fuels, alcohols, carbonates and polyurethanes will make it possible to reduce the amount of CO 2 currently generated.
Variations in atmosphere carbon dioxide around 40 million years ago were tightly coupled to changes in global temperature, according to new findings published in the journal Science. Algae use photosynthesis to harvest the energy of the sun, converting carbon dioxide and water into the organic molecules required for growth.
Kreutz presented the paper at the 10 th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies ( GHGT-10 ) earlier this fall in The Netherlands. In the near-term pre-CCS era, with a low cost of carbon, the economical solution for power providers is to vent the CO 2 and pay the fees, passing on the costs to customers.
Researchers in The Netherlands are proposing a new method for harvesting electricity from CO 2 emissions. In aqueous solutions, CO 2 reacts with water to produce carbonic acid that itself dissociates into protons (H + ) and bicarbonate ( HCO - 3 ), which can further dissociate at high pH to carbonate ions (CO 2- 3 ).
The seventeen EU countries that levy passenger car taxes partially or totally based on the car’s carbon dioxide emissions and/or fuel consumption are: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Despite the continued economic crisis, global emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, have remained constant in 2009 as strong increases in CO 2 emissions from fast-growing developing countries such as China and India, have completely nullified CO 2 emission reductions in the industrialized world.

The Linde Group and the US company Algenol Biofuels LLC have agreed to collaborate in a joint development project to identify the optimum management of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ) for Algenol’s algae and photobioreactor technology. The OCAP project (organic CO 2 for assimilation by plants) in the Netherlands is an example.
Carbon dioxide emissions from road transport in the Netherlands could be reduced by 30% if motorway speed limits in the Netherlands were set at 80 km/h (50 mph). Short- and long-term CO 2 emission reductions as a share of total motorway CO 2 emissions by cars in various scenarios. Click to enlarge. mt for delivery vans.
Global CO2 emissions increased from 15.3 to global power generation, a half per cent more than in 2007, thereby averting about 500 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2008. Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas, contributing about three-quarters to global greenhouse gases. Emissions increased by 1.7%
Imagine driving behind a diesel truck spewing clouds of smoke into the air while your new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbon emissions. The post This Zero Emission Mobility (ZEM) EV captures CO2, cleaning the air as it drives appeared first on Electrek. This dream may soon be a reality.
The future JV is planned to operate under its own corporate identity and be based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. We have the strong opinion that we as the TRATON GROUP together with our brands Scania and MAN as well as the commercial vehicle industry as a whole will be part of the solution when it comes to a CO2-neutral world.
Compared with conventional gasoline, the combustion of CNG produces around one quarter less CO 2 , as well as significantly less carbon-monoxide and hydrocarbons. When running on low gas, which has a lower calorific value due to its lower methane content, injection timing is adapted to suit.
GHGT-10 took place 9-23 September 2010 in RAI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT) conference series was formed in 1997 following the merger of the earlier series of International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Removal (ICCDR) and the Greenhouse Gas Mitigation options conference.
Because the process consumes waste CO 2 emissions, the resulting fuels can enable carbon-neutral transportation by supplanting their petroleum-derived counterparts. The company operates from Bedford, Massachusetts and The Hague, The Netherlands with production operations in Hobbs, New Mexico.
The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row.
