Norwegian startup Blastr plans €4B green steel plant in Finland

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 5, 2023

Norwegian startup Blastr Green Steel is planning to establish a green steel plant with an integrated hydrogen production facility in Inkoo, Finland. Fortum has developed the Joddböle area since the dismantling of its Inkoo coal-fired power plant there in 2017-2020. The now-demolished Inkoo coal plant. tonnes of CO₂.

AUGUST 31, 2020

An analysis of near-term spending plans on renewables by the biggest oil and gas companies shows that real investments in renewable energy will continue to pale in comparison to capex plans for greenfield fossil fuel projects. Equinor has announced plans to invest $10B into clean energy by 2025, mostly through its offshore wind portfolio.

Vulcanol is CRI’s brand name for renewable methanol, produced from CO 2 and hydrogen from renewable sources of electricity (hydro, geothermal, wind and solar). Methanol can be produced from a range of renewable sources and fossil-fuel based feed-stocks; in practice methanol is mainly produced in coal-rich China from coal.

Tunable high-yield catalytic approach converts pyrolysis oil to bio-hydrocarbon chemical feedstocks including fuel additives

NOVEMBER 26, 2010

In the new UMass approach, the hydroprocessing increases the intrinsic hydrogen content of the pyrolysis oil, producing polyols and alcohols. The zeolite catalyst then converts these hydrogenated products into light olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons in a yield as much as three times higher than that produced with the pure pyrolysis oil.

Also, using renewable electricity to replace electricity produced by carbon-intensive energy sources, for example, coal, would likely result in a greater reduction in emissions than using that electricity to convert CO 2 into liquid fuels. Furthermore, the main competing reaction to CO 2 reduction is hydrogen evolution.

Fuel cell cars should be plug-in hybrids so that the fuel cell is used only for extended range, and the fuel cell stack and hydrogen storage can be smaller.
