Carbon Recycling International and Johnson Matthey collaborate on sustainable methanol

Green Car Congress

Carbon Recycling International (CRI) and Johnson Matthey (JM) have agreed on a long-term exclusive catalyst supply agreement for the use of JM’s KATALCO methanol catalysts in CRI’s Emissions-To-Liquids (ETL) CO 2 -to-methanol plants. Conventional methanol production involves fossil feedstocks such as natural gas or coal.

IEA: global electricity demand growing faster than renewables, driving strong increase in generation from coal

Green Car Congress

Renewables are expanding quickly but not enough to satisfy a strong rebound in global electricity demand this year, resulting in a sharp rise in the use of coal power that risks pushing carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector to record levels next year, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency.

Kawasaki’s liquefied hydrogen carrier departs to pick up first cargo

Green Car Congress

This vessel was developed to provide a means of transporting liquefied hydrogen at 1/800 of its original gas-state volume, cooled to –253°C, safely and in large quantities over long distances by sea. The vessel can carry 75 tonnes of liquefied hydrogen in one trip. Supply chain demonstration framework. IMO) standards, in early December.

EIA: India’s steel industry dominated by electric-based processes; intensive coal use for DRI

Green Car Congress

In 2016, about 57% of India’s steel was produced using electric-based methods—the second-highest proportion of electric-based steel production among major steel producers, behind only the United States, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Most other large producers use basic oxygen steelmaking processes.
