Synthesis Energy Systems enters agreement to study feasibility of using gasification technology to produce green chemicals from waste in the US

Green Car Congress

The plants being contemplated are expected to have an attractive environmental footprint as they would process these waste streams with a low emissions profile. In addition, these plants have the potential to include nearly complete carbon capture capability.

ARPA-E announces $11M for innovations in energy-water processing and agricultural sensing technologies; fourth, fifth OPEN+ cohorts

Green Car Congress

Columbia University will produce clean water by removing nitrogen from wastewater streams through a process that uses up to 60% less energy and up to 80% less organic carbon, compared to conventional approaches. OSU’s technology would be modular, portable, scalable, and deployable at a fraction of the cost of existing treatment systems.

ARPA-E to award $60M to 2 programs: enhancing biomass yield and dry-cooling for thermoelectric power

Green Car Congress

The Advanced Research In Dry cooling (ARID) program ( DE-FOA-0001197 ) aims to develop low-cost, highly efficient and scalable dry-cooling technologies for thermoelectric power plants. Dry-cooling systems—which use air to cool and transfer waste heat—are an appealing and potentially transformational alternative.
