GTI quantifies opportunity to produce low-carbon renewable natural gas (RNG) from wood wastes

Green Car Congress

GTI has released a site-specific engineering design titled “ Low-Carbon Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from Wood Wastes ”. GTI led a team of engineers and scientists to produce a blueprint for converting an existing biomass facility into an RNG production site, using the wood waste feedstock and some of the existing infrastructure.

Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. From a scientific perspective, the adsorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is an important measure in addition to reducing emissions for reaching the Group’s climate targets. This uses a specially developed adsorbent to bind the CO 2 in the air.

DHL, Shell and Grundfos Bio-LNG pilot for road freight delivers 85% CO2 savings over conventional diesel

Green Car Congress

This corresponds to the emissions of more than 89,900 km driven by a diesel truck and represents 85% of CO2 savings compared to a traditional diesel engine. To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization. The Bio-LNG used by Shell in the test is produced from agricultural waste.

Carbon Engineering & LanzaTech partner to produce SAF using direct air capture CO2; “air-to-jet”

Green Car Congress

The technologies enabling project AtmosFUEL are proven climate solutions that are being deployed globally. Due to an unlimited feedstock—atmospheric CO 2 —this solution can be scaled up to deliver large-scale quantities of SAF to help meet the UK’s 10% SAF by 2030 and up to 75% SAF by 2050 proposals, the partners said.
