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.

GWU team develops cost-effective solar process to produce lime for cement without CO2 emission

Green Car Congress

A team at George Washington University has demonstrated a new solar process that can produce lime (CaO) for cement without any emission of carbon dioxide, and at lower projected cost than the existing cement industry process. The majority (about 60%) of those CO 2 emissions result from the production of lime. The CO is produced.

DOE awards $7M to eight oxy-combustion coal technology projects; carbon capture, utilization and storage

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) selected eight projects to advance the development of transformational oxy-combustion technologies capable of high-efficiency, low-cost carbon dioxide capture from coal-fired power plants. DOE Investment: $1,000,000; Recipient Cost-Share: $226,000. Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group.

Novel sorbent achieves 90% carbon capture in DOE-sponsored test

Green Car Congress

The successful bench-scale test of a novel carbon dioxide capturing sorbent promises to further advance the process as a possible technological option for reducing CO 2 emissions from coal-fired power plants. megawatts or more in preparation for potential future testing at an operating pulverized-coal boiler.

DOE to award up to $6.7M to projects to convert captured CO2 to useful products, including fuels

Green Car Congress

million in federal funding for cost-shared projects that will develop technologies that utilize CO 2 from coal-fired power plants to produce useful products. However, the current commercial utilization of CO 2 is small compared to total CO 2 emissions, and CO 2 is often emitted to the atmosphere after use.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. C2CNT and cement.

DOE Soliciting Advanced H2-CO2 Membrane Separations Projects for Up to $20M in Funding

Green Car Congress

The focus of the effort is on hydrogen separations technology, including advanced separation membranes (inorganic, metallic and both materials), that provide high purity hydrogen and/or offer a combination of hydrogen separation with low-cost removal of CO 2 and other trace impurities from hydrogen-CO 2 mixtures.
