New Siemens electric arc furnace for steel-making cuts CO2 emissions by up to 30%; Tyasa incorporating first unit in new mill

Green Car Congress

The new system, which recovers energy from the hot exhaust gas, also reduces costs by around 20%. However, the process consumes vast amounts of electricity, produces lots of carbon dioxide, and can lead to fluctuations in the stability of the power grid. The Tyasa mill is scheduled to be completed by mid-2013. Click to enlarge.

IEEE Discusses 6 Simple Solutions to Climate Change at COP27

Cars That Think

The solutions Rahman outlined were the use of proven methods that reduce electricity usage, making coal plants more efficient, using hydrogen and other storage solutions, promoting more renewables, installing new types of nuclear reactors, and encouraging cross-border power transfers. The United States buys power from Canada.

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.

EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles actually good for the environment?

Drive Electric

These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ power grid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle.
