Nornickel investigating using mining tailings to capture and store CO2

Green Car Congress

Russia-based Norilsk Nickel (Nornickel)—the world’s largest nickel producer—is studying the potential for mining tailings to capture and store CO 2. As a waste, tailings are stored in designated storage facilities called tailing dams. As a waste, tailings are stored in designated storage facilities called tailing dams.

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

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Cambridge, with colleagues at the University of Tokyo, have developed a standalone device that converts sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into formic acid, a carbon-neutral fuel, without requiring any additional components or electricity. —senior author Professor Erwin Reisner.

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

Green Car Congress

Researchers at EPFL have patented a new concept that could cut trucks’ CO 2 emissions by almost 90%. First, the vehicle’s flue gases in the exhaust pipe are cooled down and the water is separated from the gases. Only 10% of the CO 2 emissions cannot be recycled, and the researchers propose to offset that using biomass.

Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

Water from the Hellisheiði power plant then flows through the facility and transports the carbon dioxide roughly 2,000 meters below the surface of the Earth. The water returns to the cycle of the geothermal power plant. Furthermore, the rock in Iceland has the ideal composition for storing large amounts of CO 2.

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

Green Car Congress

OCOchem transforms recycled CO 2 , water and zero-carbon electricity to produce formic acid, a globally traded commodity chemical and emerging electro-fuel. The formic acid can then be stored, transported, and used directly in many industrial, consumer, transportation, and agricultural industries.

8 Rivers announces 8RH2 CO2 Convective Reformer for ultra-low carbon hydrogen production from natural gas

Green Car Congress

The Allam-Fetvedt Cycle is a new type of power cycle that takes a novel approach to emissions reduction. It uses the oxy-combustion of carbon fuels and a high-pressure supercritical CO 2 working fluid in a highly recuperated cycle that captures all emissions by design. Clean Power: transformative zero-emissions power cycles.

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

The latter (B) includes a cascade effect due to virgin Al’s large carbon footprint, triggering larger CNT-composite induced CO 2 emission elimination. Furthermore, the removed CO 2 is permanently stored, unlike, other methods like the production of fuels or seltzer water that re-release CO2 when the product is used.
