HIF Global partners with Topsoe for eFuels facility in Texas; carbon-neutral gasoline

Green Car Congress

The plant will produce carbon-neutral fuel—enough to decarbonize more than 400,000 vehicles annually. eFuels are produced by combining green hydrogen made from renewable power and recycled carbon dioxide. The gasoline synthesis from methanol has been commercially proven in a 15000-bpd plant in Turkmenistan since 2019.

Nacero selects Topsoe’s TIGAS technology for gas-to-gasoline unit; reducing lifecycle carbon footprint up to 50%

Green Car Congress

The Penwell facility will be the first gasoline manufacturer in the world to incorporate carbon capture and sequestration. The TIGAS technology enables us to cut both the production cost and the lifecycle carbon footprint of everyday fuel by 50%. The captured CO 2 will be used for enhanced oil recovery.

NASA’s New Earth Space Mission maps methane ‘super-emitters’

Green Car Congress

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is much more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. The instrument can also measure carbon dioxide. The cube (left) shows methane plumes (purple, orange, yellow) over Turkmenistan. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

BP Statistical Review finds global oil share down for 12th year in a row, coal share up to highest level since 1969; renewables at 2%

Green Car Congress

Output grew rapidly in Qatar (+25.8%), Russia (+3.1%) and Turkmenistan (+40.6%), more than offsetting declines in Libya (-75.6%) and the UK (-20.8%). Coal was again the fastest growing fossil fuel with predictable consequences for carbon emissions; it now accounts for 30.3% Gas production globally grew by 3.1%; the US recorded 7.7%
