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. In the Permian Basin, approximately one additional barrel of oil can be recovered for each 6,000 cubic feet (6 Mcf) of compressed CO 2 injected into the oil field. urea production.

ETH Zürich, Total team develops new catalyst to convert CO2 and H2 directly to methanol efficiently

Green Car Congress

Scientists at ETH Zürich and oil and gas company Total have developed a new catalyst that efficiently converts CO 2 and hydrogen directly into methanol. The CO 2 may be extracted from the atmosphere or—more simply and efficiently—from the exhaust discharged by combustion power plants.

Study Concludes That to Limit Global Warming to 2 °C, Less Than 25% of Proven Fossil Fuel Reserves Can be Burnt Between Now and 2050

Green Car Congress

Shown are fossil CO2 emissions (top panel) and corresponding global warming (bottom panel). If we continue burning fossil fuels as we do, we will have exhausted the carbon budget in merely 20 years, and global warming will go well beyond two degrees. —Malte Meinshausen.

Better Carbon Sequestration With AI

Cars That Think

People have also looked at storing CO2 in old mineshafts, and the approaches that are most seriously looked at now, or already used in practice, actually, is storing CO 2 in old oil and gas-depleted reservoirs or in deep saltwater aquifers that are a couple kilometers below the surface. Witte: I think so.
