Nippon Steel to invest in Canadian coal company; steelmaking coal offtake agreement

Green Car Congress

EVR), which will be spun-off from Teck as an independent publicly-listed Canadian company and will own and operate the steelmaking coal business previously conducted by Teck. The remainder of Teck’s business will be spun-off as the independent company Teck Metals, which will focus on base metals production.

Novel adaptation for existing blast furnaces could reduce steelmaking emissions by 88%; closed-loop carbon recycling

Green Car Congress

This reduction is achieved through a closed-loop carbon recycling system, which could replace 90% of the coke typically used in current blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace systems and produces oxygen as a byproduct. A double perovskite, Ba 2 Ca 0.66 The TC-BF-BOF System with mass flows needed to produce 1 Tonne of liquid steel. Kildahl et al.

Stanford study finds current carbon capture technology inefficient & increases air pollution

Green Car Congress

Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, suggests that carbon capture technologies are inefficient and increase air pollution. All sorts of scenarios have been developed under the assumption that carbon capture actually reduces substantial amounts of carbon.

C2CNT process converts flue gas from natural gas power plant into carbon nanotubes

Green Car Congress

On 26 July, the first flue gas from the natural gas power plant, the Shepard Energy Center in Calgary, Canada, was directly transformed by the C2CNT process ( earlier post ) into carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes grown by C2CNT directly from carbon dioxide (SEM and TEM imaging). Left and center. Earlier post.).

DOE to award up to $36M for design and testing of advanced carbon capture technologies for coal-fired power generation

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) will award up to $36 million ( DE-FOA-0001791 ) to continue the development of carbon capture technologies to either the engineering scale or to a commercial design, with an eye to reducing fossil fuel power plant emissions. The DOE will not consider testing on natural gas flue gas.
