U.S. Department of Energy to Provide $22 Million for Research on Capturing Carbon Dioxide from Air
Recently (3/30), the U.S. Department of Energy announced plans to provide up to $22 million for research aimed at achieving breakthroughs in the effort to capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air. The initiative encompasses two concurrent funding announcements one by DOE's Office of Science (SC) and another by DOE's Office of Fossil Energy (FE) and will span the spectrum from fundamental ...

Carbon Dioxide Captured Directly From the Air
NEW YORK, New York (ENS) - The capture of carbon dioxide, CO2, directly from the air has been successfully demonstrated by scientists at Columbia University and Global Research Technologies, LLC, a technology research and development company based in Tucson, Arizona. The 'air extraction' prototype has demonstrated that carbon dioxide can be captured from the atmosphere, the scientists said last ...

Carbon Capture and Storage Hopes Rise Again
Carbon capture and storage, if it proved possible, would help to make the main greenhouse gas harmless. American scientists say they are making progress. Two groups of US scientists are exploring new ways of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One technology mimics the tree by using artificial photosynthesis. The other exploits a membrane that is a thousand times more efficient than ...

Carbon Engineering and LanzaTech partner to advance jet fuel made from air
Biotechnology company LanzaTech UK, and cleantech company Carbon Engineering (CE), have partnered on a first-of-a-kind project to create sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) out of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Project AtmosFUEL will investigate the feasibility of a large-scale, commercial air-to-jet facility in the UK that will produce more than 100 million litres of SAF each year. The proposed ...

Capturing carbon straight from the air: what are the costs?
Carbon capture from power plants has gained much attention as a means to decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). A recent study assesses an alternative method that directly removes carbon dioxide from the air. The findings indicate that this method is comparable in costs to the mitigation costs estimated by the IPCC and the Stern report. Targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions have been ...

DOE Awards $35 Million to Small Businesses Pursuing Clean Energy and Climate Solutions
The U.S. Department of Energy recently (Jan 6) announced $35 million in funding for diverse small businesses to pursue scientific, clean energy, and climate solutions. The funding will support 158 projects across 29 states that will aim to develop an array of clean energy technology, from climate research tools to improved batteries for electric vehicles. This investment will create good-paying ...

Fuel produced from sunlight, CO2 and water: an alternative for jet fuel?
Water and carbon dioxide (CO2) can be converted into ‘solar thermochemical fuel’ using energy from the sun and very high temperatures. A new study has analysed the production of this fuel and found that, under favourable future conditions, costs could be as little as €1.28 per litre, with close to zero life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although suitable as a substitute ...
