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. The two production routes that show the greatest emissions intensity represent well over half of the current global production of lithium carbonate and hydroxide. Keliber plans to begin production in 2024.

UK to award £54M to 15 projects developing innovative carbon removal technology

Green Car Congress

The UK government is awarding £54 million to 15 projects to develop technologies that remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide can then be permanently stored or used in various products or applications. The biochar is rich in carbon and can be used as a fertilizer. Cambridge Carbon Capture Ltd.,

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.

Study finds total greenhouse gas footprint of blue hydrogen “quite high” due to fugitive methane

Green Car Congress

“Blue” hydrogen—produced through steam methane reforming (SMR) of natural gas or coal gasification, but with CO 2 capture and storage—is being described as having low or zero carbon emissions. Our analysis assumes that captured carbon dioxide can be stored indefinitely, an optimistic and unproven assumption.
