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. The perovskite can be regenerated to its original form in a chemical reaction that takes place in a low oxygen environment.

Keliber says studies show its lithium hydroxide will have smaller carbon footprint than most of the competition

Green Car Congress

Based on the work, Keliber’s lithium hydroxide will have a smaller carbon footprint than most of the competitors’ products. Consulting company Wood Mackenzie analyzed seven existing or planned global lithium chemicals production chains, ending in Rotterdam in Holland. Keliber plans to begin production in 2024. tonnes/produced tonne.

Woodside joins Japanese consortium to study exporting carbon-neutral hydrogen as ammonia

Green Car Congress

Australia-based Woodside has signed an agreement with Japanese companies JERA Inc, Marubeni Corporation and IHI Corporation to undertake a joint study examining the large-scale export of hydrogen as ammonia for use decarbonizing coal-fired power generation in Japan. Green hydrogen is produced from renewable energy using electrolysis.

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.).

Study findings suggest that switching from coal to natural gas would do little for global climate

Green Car Congress

Relying more on natural gas would reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, but it would do little to help solve the climate problem. It would be many decades before it would slow down global warming at all, and even then it would just be making a difference around the edges. —Tom Wigley. degree Fahrenheit (less than 0.1

DOE awarding $6.5M to 9 large-scale Phase I pilot coal projects

Green Car Congress

This FOA, issued in August 2017, is a $50-million funding opportunity for projects supporting cost-shared research and development to design, construct, and operate two large-scale pilots to demonstrate transformational coal technologies. Some of these technologies are now ready to proceed to the large-scale pilot stage of development.
