Kobe Steel demonstrates technology that can reduce blast furnace CO2 emissions by ~20%

Green Car Congress

(KOBELCO) has successfully demonstrated technology that can reduce CO 2 emissions from blast furnace operations by approximately 20% by combining the Midrex’ HBI technologies and the blast furnace operations of Kobe Steel. Coke is carbon fuel made from coal. RAR is thus the quantity of carbon fuel used in blast furnace ironmaking.

Supreme Court curbs EPA authority to regulate CO2 from power plants

Green Car Congress

EPA that the EPA lacks the authority to set emission standards for power plants so strict as to force a shift of power generation from fossil fuels. The opinion holds that Congress did not grant EPA in Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act the authority to devise emissions caps based on generation shifting—i.e., 7411(a)(1).

DOE awarding $6.5M to 9 large-scale Phase I pilot coal projects

Green Car Congress

This FOA, issued in August 2017, is a $50-million funding opportunity for projects supporting cost-shared research and development to design, construct, and operate two large-scale pilots to demonstrate transformational coal technologies. Some of these technologies are now ready to proceed to the large-scale pilot stage of development.

8 Rivers announces 8RH2 CO2 Convective Reformer for ultra-low carbon hydrogen production from natural gas

Green Car Congress

The Allam-Fetvedt Cycle is a new type of power cycle that takes a novel approach to emissions reduction. It uses the oxy-combustion of carbon fuels and a high-pressure supercritical CO 2 working fluid in a highly recuperated cycle that captures all emissions by design. Clean Power: transformative zero-emissions power cycles.

IIASA: removing fossil fuel subsidies will not reduce CO2 emissions as much as hoped

Green Car Congress

Removing fossil fuel subsidies would have only a small effect on CO 2 emissions and renewable energy use, according to a new study led by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and published in the journal Nature. That means that in some cases the removal of subsidies causes a switch to more emissions-intensive coal.

Siemens JET process enables more flexibility in steel production, lower CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

The newly developed Siemens JET Process enables steel mills to adapt their production processes more flexibly to raw material prices and emission regulations. Further, because producing pig iron in a blast furnace creates especially large amounts of carbon dioxide, this new process also reduces CO 2 emissions. Click to enlarge.

Trestle Energy and Larksen partner to reduce CO2 from ethanol and coal power

Green Car Congress

The platform is designed to enable ethanol producers to reduce their fuel carbon intensity substantially and to facilitate cost-effective use of biomass fuel pellets at existing power plants. This will expand supplies of dispatchable, renewable energy and substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions from domestic energy supplies.
