DOE awards $35M to 12 ARPA-E projects to reduce methane emissions; 5 on natural gas engines

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced $35 million in funding for twelve projects focused on developing technologies to reduce methane emissions in the oil, gas, and coal industries. The system will significantly increase methane conversion efficiency and comply with future stringent nitrous oxide regulations.

China to be Site of First Commercial Implementation of TRIG Coal Gasifier

Green Car Congress

The contract award marks China as the site for the first worldwide commercial implementation of the TRIG technology with the goal of producing low-emission, coal-based electricity. TRIG coal gasification technology was co-developed developed by Southern Company, KBR Inc., (Dongguan TMEP) in Guandong Province, Peoples Republic of China.

Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

The process for synthesizing the melamine material, published in an open-access paper in the journal Science Advances , could potentially be scaled down to capture emissions from vehicle exhaust or other movable sources of carbon dioxide. —Mao et al. This work was partly supported by the US Department of Energy. Haiyan Mao et al.

Better Carbon Sequestration With AI

Cars That Think

But the most popular one that’s mostly used in practice right now is a post-combustion process called the amine process, where essentially, we have your exhaust from factories that has very high CO 2 content, and you bring it in contact with a liquid that has this amine chemical that binds the CO 2 , that you basically suck the CO 2 out of the air.
