Waste Management Makes Strategic Investment in Waste-to-Fuels Company Enerkem

Green Car Congress

The Enerkem process has four steps: feedstock pre-treatment; gasification; syngas conditioning; and conversion. Slurries or liquids can also be fed into the gasifier through appropriately designed injectors. The syngas is converted to products using a sequential catalytic conversion process. Click to enlarge.

DOE Makes First Awards from $1.4B for Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage Projects

Green Car Congress

Projects that best demonstrate the ability to address their mission needs will be in the final portfolio that will receive additional funding for design, construction, and operation. About 85% of the CO 2 from the process stream will be captured and over 5 million tons sequestered into a depleted oil or gas field.
