Skyonic awards $117M construction contract to Toyo-Thai-USA for commercial-scale carbon capture and utilization plant

Green Car Congress

The SkyMine plant, which will be retrofit to the Capitol Aggregates Cement plant, is expected to directly capture 83,000 tons of CO 2 from the cement plant’s emissions. The captured pollutants are mineralized into solid products, including sodium bicarbonate, which are stored, transported and sold as safe, stable solids.

EPA opens door to consider Carbon Capture and Utilization as part of new Clean Power Plan; algae industry locks on

Green Car Congress

EPA’s newly released voluminous final Clean Power Plan rule ( earlier post ) has established the first national standards to limit CO 2 emissions from fossil-fuel-fired power plants (Electric Generating Units, EGUs), with a target of a 32% reduction against a 2005 baseline by 2030. The actual text of the CPP rule is, however, more reserved.

European automotive and automotive battery industries call for extension of the exemption of lead-based batteries from the EU ELV Directive

Green Car Congress

Using lead batteries in start-stop or micro-hybrid systems can result in emission savings of between 700-1600 kg CO 2 equivalent over a vehicle’s lifetime. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving. Other battery technologies (nickel-metal hydride, lead-based etc.)

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Charged spoke with Steve Cotton, CEO and President, and David Regan, VP of Commercial, about the different ways to recycle batteries, and the challenges of building a full-scale circular supply chain for batteries. The whole batteries go in, so the plastics get burned, the carbon gets burned, there’s a lot of emissions.
