Texas Clean Energy Project signs long-term CO2 offtake agreement with Whiting Petroleum for enhanced oil recovery; 90% CO2 capture from IGCC coal polygen plant

Green Car Congress

The TCEP would integrate coal gasification, combined-cycle power generation, CO 2 capture, and. We now have sales commitments in place for all three of TCEP’s main commercial products—electric power, urea for fertilizer, and CO 2 for enhanced oil recovery—and that is obviously key to getting this project underway.

Renewable-methanol fueled Geely cars in fleet testing in Iceland; 70% reduction in WTW CO2 compared to gasoline

Green Car Congress

The average in-use emissions were calculated as 46 g CO2 per kilometer, accounting for the consumption of both fuels. According to Sigurbjörnsson, the data collected supports the conclusion that methanol fueled cars will also be economically competitive with both fossil fueled cars, hybrids and electric cars.
