Schematic illustration of carbon capture and storage at Kevin Dome in Montana. The team includes four other universities, three national laboratories and five private sector companies and has experience with carbon storage projects in Washington, Wyoming, Canada, Illinois, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and internationally.
Produced water from coal-bed natural gas (CBNG) production may contain sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) at concentrations that can harm aquatic life, according to a new study by the US Geological Survey; Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks; the Bureau of Land Management and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Farag, A.M.,
Twenty-three of the projects receiving funding are headed by universities, eight are led by the Energy Department’s National Laboratories and one project is run by a non-profit organization. University of California, Berkeley. Center for Gas Separations Relevant to Clean Energy Technologies (CGS). Northwestern University.
Natural gas. Michael Sivak is the managing director of Sivak Applied Research and the former director of Sustainable Worldwide Transportation at the University of Michigan. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro. Energy source. Proportional amount of emissions relative to hydro.
Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. It is produced via a microbial process called denitrification, which converts nitrogen to nitrous oxide and an inert gas called dinitrogen. The findings, the authors hope, will lead to more effective mitigation strategies.

Geologic storage is currently focused on five types of formations:(1) depleted oil and gas reservoirs, (2) deep saline formations, (3) unmineable coal seams, (4) oil- and gas-rich organic shales, and (5) basalts. Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford, Calif.) Clemson University (Clemson, S.C.)
Establish a consortium for sustained collaborations among university partners in South Dakota, Montana, and Oklahoma in the field of methane regulation in extreme environments. Among the highlights were the oxidation of mixed methane gas to liquid biofuel by Methyloferula sp , an obligately methanotrophic bacterium.
An updated life cycle analysis of the carbon footprint of camelina-based biojet fuel found that the renewable fuel reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 75% compared to traditional petroleum-based jet fuel, according to a study by researchers from Michigan Tech University (MTU), Targeted Growth and UOP LLC, a Honeywell company.

Self-Cleaning Cathodes for Endurance to Chromium Poisoning Boston University will evaluate chemical and electrochemical cathode self-cleaning and performance recovery processes. Lead organization.
West Virginia University, and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) are collaborating in the $13 million field trial, located in Marshall County, W.Va. CONSOL Energy Inc., The site was chosen because of its accessibility, availability, and typical northern Appalachian topography and geology. Perfluorocarbon tracer testing.
The Bakken Formation, a shale oil and gas field in North Dakota and Montana, is emitting roughly 2% (about 250,000 tons per year) of the globe’s ethane, according to new study led by researchers at the University of Michigan.

Montana State University. Optimization, Scale-up, and Design of Coal-Dependent Methanogenesis in Preparation for In Situ Field Demonstration Montana State University in cooperation with its partners will focus on refining bio-gasification approaches for the conversion of coal to methane. The Ohio State University.
In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed. Columbia University , New York, N.Y. Montana State University , Bozeman, Mont.
NETL researchers, in cooperation with bee experts at Montana State University (MSU) in Bozeman, placed hives about 150 meters upwind and downwind from a controlled CO 2 release source marked with tracers. The tubes are heated while helium gas is flowing through them. This desorbs the tracer which is then analyzed.
Successful achievement of the project goals is expected to enable the commercial deployment of natural gas-fueled Distributed Generation SOFC systems, which is an intermediate step toward viable SOFC technology for large-scale, coal-fueled, central power generation applications. The University of South Carolina.
While many people can conjure up romantic visions of a Montana ranch — vast valleys, cold streams, snow-capped mountains — few understand what happens when the cattle leave those pastures. Most of them, it turns out, don’t stay in Montana. They tend to influence a tremendous amount throughout the supply chain.”
The Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, one of seven members of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships program, has begun collecting core samples from a new characterization well near Spectra Energy’s Fort Nelson natural gas processing plant in British Columbia, Canada.
Greenhouse gas emissions for all fuels in this study, using one of the cultivation scenarios (Forward cultivation). Dr. David Shonnard and Kenneth Koers at Michigan Technological University conducted the LCA in collaboration with UOP, a Honeywell company. Source: Shonnard and Koers (2009). Click to enlarge. Earlier post.).
As the world’s most widely manufactured material, concrete—and especially the cement within it—is also a major contributor to climate change, accounting for around 6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. They all follow a universal template that Qoori developed to optimize the construction of the company’s ever-larger centers.
EV infrastructure is much less widespread than gas stations—and the number of EV chargers is only part of the problem. Chargers need to expand ahead of EV demand Charging infrastructure is not universally present, either. However, they are less excited about the possibility of finding charging points.
But if you’re broken down in Montana, you need a cell phone. Intelligent vehicles could help reduce the billions of gallons of gas wasted in traffic jams each year. Michele Weigle, Old Dominion University, 2008). — Mike Shulman. If vehicles approaching from. avoiding head-on crashes. Alternative routing.
They are looking at cutting the nation’s greenhouse gas output by targeting, in separate ways, three major sources of emissions: electric utilities, transportation and industry. states are already actively participating in the design and implementation of three regional cap-and-trade programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
For example, by simplifying and shrinking the process, this approach could enable natural gas refining directly at the wellhead, saving up to half of the energy lost in the ethanol cracking process today. of Science & Technology; Montana Gallatin College; Montana State U.; Missouri U. of Virginia; Virginia Tech; U.
With rolling mountains and boundless plains, Montana has magnificent scenery and vast horizons. On Montana’s 147,000 square miles of land, the state’s latest count of charging points was just 57, most of which were concentrated in towns and cities rather than along highways. It seems to be designed for self-driving travel.
