DOE-sponsored drilling projects demonstrate significant CO2 storage at three sites

Green Car Congress

If the potential of the sites is eventually fulfilled, they could safely and permanently store combined CO 2 emissions equivalent to that produced by more than 11 million passenger vehicles annually or from the electricity use of more than 7 million homes for one year, according to Environmental Protection Agency conversion data.

Idaho National Laboratory low-energy electrochemical process could eliminate need for steam cracking of hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

Typically the steam cracking of ethane has a conversion rate of 70%, with ethylene yields of about 50%. Ethylene production is energy-intensive and uses steam-cracking—the most energy-consuming single process in chemical industry. The NDP was carried out at 400 °C whereas the steam cracking was performed at 850 °C. Ding et al.
