PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

The authors’ assessment identified further cost savings, in that CO 2 captured by EEMPA can be converted to methane on site. Traditionally, CO 2 is stripped from water-rich solvents and sent off site to be converted or stored underground. Heldebrant, D., Kothandaraman, J., Lopez, J.S., Walter, E.D., Burton, S.D. and Dagle, R.A.

Santos reports successful CO2 capture and storage injection trial in Moomba CCS project

Green Car Congress

Ultimately, the Moomba CCS Project has the potential to store up to 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. Today, CCS projects store around 40 million tonnes per year of carbon dioxide, far short of the more than two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide the IEA forecasts that CCS projects will need to store each year by 2040.

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

Green Car Congress

The ultra-low carbon hydrogen then can be turned into ultra-low carbon ammonia, which in turn can be used for decarbonized fertilizer, zero-carbon maritime fuels, and as a zero-carbon feedstock fuel to replace coal in existing power infrastructure. Ammonia can be easily ‘cracked’ back into hydrogen after reaching its end user.
