Carbon capture milestone for CSIRO in China
The project represents another first for the CSIRO PCC program - the first capture of carbon dioxide in China using a PCC pilot plant. It begins the process of applying the technology to Chinese conditions and evaluating its effectiveness. PCC is a process that uses a liquid to capture carbon dioxide from power station flue gases and is a technology that can potentially reduce carbon dioxide ...

On-board carbon capture for cars
Capturing carbon dioxide at source from vehicles in the transportation sector and small-scale power plants could significantly cut overall carbon emissions to the atmosphere in the short-term, while playing a strategic role in the development of a sustainable carbon economy in the longer-term. New research suggests that it is feasible to capture and store CO2 emissions at the point of generation ...

ETI study to assess technological development needs for CCS by Mineralisation
The Energy Technologies Institute is to carry out a detailed study of the availability and distribution of suitable minerals across the UK and technologies that could be used to economically capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These may arise from distributed sources such as small power plants and industrial facilities as well as large power stations. The leading technology for ...

Australia and China sign clean coal agreement
In an important step towards a greener global future, Australia and China signed a formal international agreement for clean coal research in Beijing this week. The agreement, between CSIRO and China’s Thermal Power Research Institute (TPRI), will see TPRI install, commission and operate a post combustion capture pilot plant at the Huaneng Beijing Co-Generation Power Plant as part of CSIRO’s ...

Rock-solid carbon storage hopes rise
Geologists have resolved one great problem about the capture of carbon dioxide from coal-fired or gas-fired power stations and its sequestration deep in the Earth, with what appears to be the prospect of rock-solid carbon storage. Once there in the right rock formations, there’s no reason why it should escape. That is, it won’t react with groundwater, corrode the rocks around it and ...

Energy integration in action: Eni project awarded carbon storage licence
The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) is pleased to announce it has awarded a carbon dioxide (CO2) appraisal and storage licence (CS licence) to Eni UK Limited (Eni). The CS licence will cover an area located within the Liverpool Bay area of the East Irish Sea. Under the CS licence, Eni plans to reuse and repurpose depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs (the Hamilton, Hamilton North and Lennox fields) ...

Wind and air’s hope for new energy
Two sets of scientists in the US have devised new ways to snatch more power from thin air. One group of Californian chemists reports that it has found a way to filter carbon dioxide directly from the air and turn it into clean-burning methanol. While scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have announced a design for an offshore wind turbine rotor blade 200 metres long − so huge that ...

DOE issues amended funding opportunity announcement for third round of clean coal power initiative
The U.S. Department of Energy has issued an amendment to the Funding Opportunity Announcement for Round 3 of the Clean Coal Power Initiative. The amendment, which was issued on June 9, 2009, incorporates special provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. DOE anticipates making multiple awards under this FOA and may be able to provide up to $1.4 billion to be distributed ...

Carbon capture and storage needed for new coal-fired power stations
The Environment Agency has recommended that no new coal-fired power stations should be built unless they can capture and store carbon emissions. In its response to the Government’s consultation on carbon capture and storage, the Environment Agency called for faster progress on proving carbon capture and storage technology on a commercial scale. Lord Chris Smith, Chairman of the Environment ...

Obama takes on coal with first-ever carbon limits
The proposal would help reshape where Americans get electricity, away from a coal-dependent past into a future fired by cleaner sources of energy. It's also a key step in President Barack Obama's global warming plans, because it would help end what he called "the limitless dumping of carbon pollution" from power plants. Although the proposed rule won't immediately affect plants already ...

Obama`s climate plan takes aim at coal plants
America is slowly moving toward cleaner sources of energy and using less of it overall. President Barack Obama's plan to fight climate change will accelerate those trends. The plan aims to reduce power-plant emissions of carbon dioxide, increase America's reliance on natural gas and renewables and make trucks, homes and businesses more efficient. Some parts of the plan will take months to work ...
