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. The carbon dioxide is separated and can be recycled or sequestered for storage.

DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 19 projects to enhance the capability to simulate, track, and evaluate the potential risks of carbon dioxide storage in geologic formations. Researchers will develop systems for tagging CO 2 with carbon-14 at atmospheric level (1 part per trillion) and measuring the carbon-14 CO 2 levels.
