Nornickel investigating using mining tailings to capture and store CO2

Green Car Congress

Russia-based Norilsk Nickel (Nornickel)—the world’s largest nickel producer—is studying the potential for mining tailings to capture and store CO 2. The dompany is also working to develop a methodology to take stock of carbon units captured this way. In 2021, Nornickel extracted 41.2 mm) that looks like sand.

Researchers store hydrogen fuel in salts

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Germany have developed a method to store and release highly pure hydrogen by the interconversion of readily available (bi)carbonate and formate salts in the presence of naturally occurring ?-amino amino acids. An open-access paper on their work is published in ACS Central Science. 2c00723.

BNEF: global carbon capture capacity due to rise sixfold by 2030

Green Car Congress

The global capacity for carbon capture in 2030 is set to increase sixfold from today’s level, to 279 million tons of CO 2 captured per year, according to research company BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) newly released 2022 CCUS Market Outlook. The amount of CO 2 being captured today is 43 million tons, or 0.1% of global emissions.

Aviation H2 selects liquid ammonia as carbon-free fuel of choice

Green Car Congress

In fact, the stored weight of liquid ammonia energy is substantially lighter than gaseous hydrogen and can be kept at a much lower tank pressure. Dr Mayer says this is supported by anhydrous ammonia reaching liquification point quicker, which makes it a lot simpler to store when compared to liquid or gasified hydrogen.

DESY-led team explores alternative method for storing hydrogen; Ir-seeded Pd nanocluster superlattices

Green Car Congress

Researchers led by Andreas Stierle at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) have laid the foundations for an alternative method for storing hydrogen, using iridium-seeded palladium nanocluster superlattices with 1.2 nanometer cluster diameters. Challenges still need to be overcome before proceeding to practical applications. Resources.
