Twenty-three of the projects receiving funding are headed by universities, eight are led by the Energy Department’s National Laboratories and one project is run by a non-profit organization.

Researchers at the Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) have discovered an innovative way to use bees, pollen, and helium-filled balloons to verify that no carbon dioxide leaks from carbon sequestration sites. The tubes are heated while helium gas is flowing through them. Click to enlarge.
The US Department of Energy has selected 15 projects to develop technologies aimed at safely and economically storing carbon dioxide in geologic formations. In this project investigators will assess factors influencing effective CO 2 storage capacity and injectivity in selected Eastern gas shales. Clemson University (Clemson, S.C.)
The Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, one of seven members of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships program, has begun collecting core samples from a new characterization well near Spectra Energy’s Fort Nelson natural gas processing plant in British Columbia, Canada.
Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. It is produced via a microbial process called denitrification, which converts nitrogen to nitrous oxide and an inert gas called dinitrogen. The findings, the authors hope, will lead to more effective mitigation strategies.
An updated life cycle analysis of the carbon footprint of camelina-based biojet fuel found that the renewable fuel reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 75% compared to traditional petroleum-based jet fuel, according to a study by researchers from Michigan Tech University (MTU), Targeted Growth and UOP LLC, a Honeywell company.
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.

As the world’s most widely manufactured material, concrete—and especially the cement within it—is also a major contributor to climate change, accounting for around 6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Data centers use so much concrete that the construction boom is wrecking tech giants’ commitments to eliminate their carbon emissions.
Cantwell said that cap-and-trade had been discredited by the Wall Street crisis, the Enron scandal and the rocky start to a carbon credits trading system in Europe that has been subject to dizzying price fluctuations and widespread fraud. greenhouse gas emissions. Northeastern Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
For example, by simplifying and shrinking the process, this approach could enable natural gas refining directly at the wellhead, saving up to half of the energy lost in the ethanol cracking process today. of Science & Technology; Montana Gallatin College; Montana State U.; Missouri U. of Virginia; Virginia Tech; U.
With rolling mountains and boundless plains, Montana has magnificent scenery and vast horizons. On Montana’s 147,000 square miles of land, the state’s latest count of charging points was just 57, most of which were concentrated in towns and cities rather than along highways. It seems to be designed for self-driving travel.
