DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. In prior work with DOE, MTR has advanced membrane CO 2 capture technology for coal power plants through small engineering scale testing and studies. ION Clean Energy Inc.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

Clean electricity makes a difference. In Norway , which is the world leader in renewable energy use, 45% of electricity comes from hydropower, while Brazil in second place gets 32% of its total energy supply from biofuel and waste energy. That means today, EVs will result in lower CO2 emissions overall than ICE vehicles.

DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity. In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed.

The Future of Fission Reactors May Be Small

Cars That Think

But if one persistent cadre of nuclear optimists are right, then Linglong One could be a model for fission’s future in an age of clean energy. Still, a steadfast consensus remains that nuclear power isn’t just desirable for a clean-energy transition— it’s necessary. Just like their larger counterparts, SMRs will produce nuclear waste.
