Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

Because so much energy is lost turning steam back into water in the Rankine cycle, at most a third of the power in the steam can be converted into electricity. The compressor gets the supercritical CO 2 up to the necessary pressure before it meets up with waste heat in the recuperator and returns to the heater to continue the cycle.

Carbon Engineering & LanzaTech partner to produce SAF using direct air capture CO2; “air-to-jet”

Green Car Congress

Project AtmosFUEL will investigate the feasibility of a large-scale, commercial air-to-jet facility in the UK that will produce more than 100 million liters of SAF each year. The ethanol will then be converted into SAF using the LanzaJet Alcohol-To-Jet technology, developed by LanzaTech and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
