SRI developing process for co-gasification of methane and coal to produce liquid transportation fuels; negligible water consumption, no CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers from SRI International (SRI) are developing a methane-and-coal-to-liquids process that consumes negligible amounts of water and does not generate carbon dioxide. If biogas is substituted for conventional natural gas, total GHG emissions can further significantly reduced (190 gCO 2 /mile). Lifecycle GHG comparison.

Battery recycling shatters the myth of EV waste – ET Auto

Baua Electric

In the US, it takes about 25,500 miles (41,000 kilometers) of driving for an EV to break even, according to a Bloomberg NEF analysis. That’s enough to shorten an average EV’s environmental breakeven time with an internal combustion vehicle to less than 15,000 miles. Closing the loop brings the total CO2 savings to 80%.

Mitsubishi Heavy, Southern Company begin underground injection of captured CO2 from coal-fired plant; 500 metric tons per day

Green Car Congress

(MHI) and Southern Company, a major US electric utility, has begun underground injection of CO 2 recovered from emissions from a coal-fired power generation plant. The volume of CO 2 injection, which began following approval by the Alabama state government, has been progressively expanded and now reached the full-scale target of 500 mtpd.

EIA: US energy-related CO2 emissions down 2.4% in 2011 while GDP rose

Green Car Congress

Factors influencing the decrease included: In 2011, transportation-related carbon dioxide emissions fell primarily due to higher fuel costs, improvements in fuel efficiency, and a reduction in miles traveled. It is estimated that the miles per gallon (mpg) of light duty vehicles improved by 1.0% (20.4 per gallon.

MIT and U. Texas report urges combining and scaling up carbon capture and storage with enhanced oil recovery

Green Car Congress

Widespread adoption of combining enhanced oil recovery with carbon capture and storage faces major hurdles, including development of infrastructure, regulation and economic incentives to manage supply and demand of CO 2. is from natural sources and is delivered to EOR sites through a few thousand miles of commercial CO 2 pipeline.
