Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have created a new system—the least costly to date—that efficiently captures CO 2 and converts it into methanol. The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton.

LanzaTech’s first commercial facility converting waste emissions from steel production to ethanol will come online in China in late 2017. LanzaTech’s technology allows refineries to divert waste gases from the grid, supporting the transition to fully renewable power while recycling this carbon into liquid fuels and petrochemicals.

The plant will gasify waste biomass, and use a Fischer-Tropsch process to convert the resulting syngas to biojet fuel and bionaphtha. The Fischer-Tropsch tail gas can be used to produce 20MW of excess electricity for export to the national grid or converted into steam to be used in a district heating system.

After you connect your car’s battery to a DC rapid charging station, AC or alternating current from the grid is converted and stored inside the vehicle in the form of DC or direct current. For this purpose, you either have an AC-DC converter inside the EV or a built-in converter inside the charger.

The conversion of hotels to shelters has sharply decreased the supply of rooms just as tourist demand has risen, nearly to prepandemic levels, and is projected to match a record high. Not a single one has converted back into a traditional hotel. Participating hotels are paid up to $185 a night per room, according to the city.
