Capturing carbon emissions from polluting industries has long been touted as a key way of helping to address climate change, but a new China-US agreement looks like giving much-needed stimulus to development of the technology. For years, the energy companies have been telling us not to worry. Yes, mounting carbon emissions threaten to heat up the world – but technology, particularly carbon ...

ExxonMobil has renewed its partnership with Princeton Energy Centre through which it will develop low-emission technologies and solutions such as carbon capture and power generation. The new five-year agreement builds on ExxonMobil’s participation in Princeton’s E-filliates Partnership, a corporate membership programme that aims to help accelerate research, development and ...
First the good news. Carbon dioxide emissions from coal have been falling over the last five years in the U.S., hitting the lowest point for any quarter since 1986 in March 2012. Cheap natural gas allowed utilities to cut back on coal, the most “carbon-intense” fossil fuel used for power generation. But coal-fired power plants are not going away anytime soon in the U.S., and countries ...
FuelCell Energy, a leader in delivering clean, innovative and affordable fuel cell solutions for the supply, recovery and storage of energy, today (6/27) announced that it has entered into a contract with Drax Power Station in the United Kingdom for an application of the Company's carbon capture solution. FuelCell Energy will be supporting Drax with a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study ...
The project is the first of its kind globally for a waste-to-energy plant and comes after Aker Solutions in December signed a contract with the city government. The project is funded by Gassnova, the state enterprise that supports the development and demonstration of technologies to capture carbon dioxide (CO2). "This is pioneering work with significant potential as the world focuses on finding ...
DNV GL has approved as qualified, technology for a full-scale demonstration project in Norway to remove carbon emissions at a cement plant. Gassnova, the Norwegian state's agency for implementation of carbon capture and storage projects, initiated the project which will apply carbon capture technology developed by Aker Solutions at Norcem's cement plant in Brevik, Norway. Globally, the cement ...
Tsinghua University is partnering with WRI to develop guidelines for China’s deployment of CCS technology. Many have said that we can’t solve the climate change challenge without a solution for coal. Nowhere is this truer than in China, which already uses more coal than the U.S, the European Union and Japan combined. Many experts are now looking at carbon capture and storage—known as CCS—as the ...
ExxonMobil and Global Thermostat said recently (6/27) that they have signed a joint development agreement to advance breakthrough technology that can capture and concentrate carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources, including power plants, and the atmosphere. The companies will evaluate the potential scalability of Global Thermostat’s carbon capture technology for large industrial use. If ...

Campaigners welcome a commitment to carbon neutrality by heavy industries but warn that the current plan lacks concrete policy proposals. Europe’s most energy-intensive industries (EIIs) have committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, outlining their masterplan to overcome challenges and exploit opportunities. The document was published as the European Parliament declared a climate ...

Scientists in the US claim to have beaten nature at its own game. They have created a “bionic leaf” that exploits sunlight to create biomass − and they say their invention is now 10 times more effective than an oak or maple leaf. Two separate laboratories at Harvard University have co-operated to devise, enhance and test a system that uses sunlight to split water molecules and ...
CO2 Solutions Inc., an innovator in the field of enzyme-enabled carbon capture technology, today announced that it has entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Colorado-based Neumann Systems Group, Inc. (“NSG” or “Neumann Systems”), an established emissions control solutions provider. Under the terms of the agreement, CO2 Solutions and NSG will demonstrate a ...

Thank you Ron for those warm words. I’m delighted to be here today, and to address an audience who are absolutely key to deliver our clean energy future. There aren’t many energy secretaries who are physicists – let alone Nobel Laureate physicists. So when Steven Chu, US Energy Secretary, says something, it’s worth listening. Two years ago, in an editorial for Science ...
According to a report just released by a government-commissioned panel, Canadian governments generally should spend close to $2 billion to encourage carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The report echoes recent plans by the Government of Alberta to reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions in this manner. Unfortunately real world testing of CCS technologies, ...
