Study: 2/3 of aviation climate impact due to emissions other than CO2

Green Car Congress

of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. The study was published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. This new study is based on a thorough review of a decade of research on aviation emissions.

Twelve and LanzaTech successfully convert CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

Carbon transformation company Twelve and biotechnology company LanzaTech have transformed CO 2 emissions into ethanol as a part of an ongoing research and development partnership. This approach is highly scalable and could ultimately produce ethanol at an industrial scale, while simultaneously eliminating CO 2 emissions.

SLB introduces low-carbon alternative for well construction cement that eliminates up to 85% of embodied CO2

Green Car Congress

This innovative technology eliminates up to 85% of embodied CO 2 emissions compared with conventional well cementing systems, which include portland cement. The EcoShield system has the potential to avoid up to 5 million metric tons of CO 2 emissions annually—the equivalent of removing 1.1 million cars from the road each year.

Researchers tailor catalyst microenvironments to enhance CO2 electroreduction to multicarbon products

Green Car Congress

A promising route for turning CO 2 emissions into a fuel feedstock is the process of electrochemical reduction (e.g., Our group has found that you can do various tricks with the local environment of the catalyst to provide that selectivity. Controlling the environment at the catalyst’s surface is a new and different approach.

Galvanic, IBAT testing proves Smackover brine is DLE compatible

Green Car Congress

The catch is identifying lithium that can be harvested economically and in a way that doesn’t harm the environment. Besides fresh water, no other chemicals were required in the IBAT process, whereas other DLE operators add acids, bases or both to adjust the pH of the brine through their DLE processes. We can find the lithium.

MIT researchers advancing development of supercritical water upgrading of heavy crude; lower cost, energy use and CO2

Green Car Congress

Findings by MIT researchers could help advance the commercialization of supercritical water technology for the desulfurization and upgrading of high-sulfur crude oil into high-value, cleaner fuels such as gasoline without using hydrogen—a major change in refining technology that would reduce costs, energy use, and CO 2 emissions.
