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. In 2021, Nornickel extracted 41.2 mm) that looks like sand.

million) STORE&GO research project. While the current facility feeds pure hydrogen (“WindGas”) directly into the gas grid, the new methanation plant provides for the generation of “green” methane. This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power.

CEMEX, Sasol and ENERTRAG partner to turn CO2 from cement plant into Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Green Car Congress

The consortium will source green hydrogen generated exclusively from wind and solar energy from ENERTRAG. The green hydrogen will be produced as part of the ENERTRAG IPCEI project “Electrolysis Corridor East Germany” with an electrolysis capacity of 210 MW, which will enable the production of 35,000 tons of e-kerosene fuel per year.
