DNV and PSE develop concept for on-ship chemical CO2 capture; capable of reducing ship CO2 emissions by up to 65%

Green Car Congress

The system consists of a chemical absorption plant that separates CO 2 from flue gases; a liquefaction unit where the captured CO 2 is compressed and condensed using a refrigerant; and two storage tanks where the liquid CO 2 product is temporarily stored until discharge into transmission and storage infrastructures at the next suitable port.

Study finds carbon capture & storage could be financial opportunity for conventional ethanol plants

Green Car Congress

Ethanol production is one of the least costly known applications of CO2 capture and, to date, the cost of capturing CO2 has been cited as one of the major barriers to CCS. A US Department of Energy supported project is capturing and storing around 1 Mt per year of CO 2 from an Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) plant in Illinois.

EIA releases report on CO2 emissions by state; California led in 2010 with transportation-sector emissions

Green Car Congress

Factors such as size, population density, available fuels, types of businesses, climate, all play a role in both total and per capita emissions, the EIA noted. For feedstock application, carbon stored in products such as plastics are not included in reported emissions for the states where they are produced. Climate Change Emissions'
