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.

New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

Excess energy produced by photovoltaics and wind energy could be stored through the electrocatalytic production of fuels from CO 2. Conversion into liquid fuels would be advantageous because they have high energy density and are safe to store and transport. These could then be burned as needed.
