DOE to award up to $30M for direct air and ocean capture of CO2; conversion to fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

Projects selected under this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will perform conceptual design studies followed by field validations of cost-effective processes for ocean-based carbon capture and for direct air capture of CO 2 coupled with carbon-free hydrogen and captured CO 2 to create carbon-neutral methanol.

AirCapture, OCOchem and partners win $2.93M DOE grant for direct air capture of CO2 and conversion to formic acid

Green Car Congress

Carbon dioxide capture company AirCapture and carbon dioxide conversion company OCOchem, along with other partners, have won a $2.93-million The formic acid can then be stored, transported, and used directly in many industrial, consumer, transportation, and agricultural industries.

US Steel and CarbonFree sign MoU to capture CO2 at Gary Works

Green Car Congress

SkyCycle technology is modular, scalable and patented and is designed to directly capture CO 2 emissions from industrial emitters. Additionally, CO 2 that is converted to calcium carbonate can be permanently stored as an environmentally friendly mineral.

Researchers develop wave-energy-driven CO2 reduction system for production of carbon-based liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

Moreover, it features a higher wave energy conversion efficiency and power output as compared to previous TENG designs and is able to float on the water’s surface, which minimizes both the environmental impact and simplifies operation and these features are essential for the practical use of TENGs on ocean wave energy harvesting application.

Cambridge researchers develop standalone device that makes formic acid from sunlight, CO2 and water

Green Car Congress

The results, reported in the journal Nature Energy , represent a new method for the conversion of carbon dioxide into clean fuels. In addition, storage of gaseous fuels and separation of by-products can be complicated—we want to get to the point where we can cleanly produce a liquid fuel that can also be easily stored and transported.

EPFL team develops on-board system to capture CO2 from trucks; reducing emissions by 90%

Green Car Congress

CO 2 is isolated from the other gases (nitrogen and oxygen) with a temperature swing adsorption (TSA) system, using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) adsorbent, which are specially designed to absorb CO 2. That liquid is stored in a tank and can then be converted back into conventional fuel at the service stations using renewable electricity.
