Getting the carbon out of emissions
Original story at MIT News Many researchers around the world are seeking ways to “scrub” carbon dioxide (CO2) from the emissions of fossil-fuel power plants as a way of curbing the gas that is considered most responsible for global climate change. But most such systems rely on complex plumbing to divert the steam used to drive the turbines that generate power in these plants, and ...

Chemical looping is step towards fuels with lower carbon impact
A move towards fossil fuels with reduced CO2 emissions is an integral part of the transition towards a sustainable energy future. Both the energy and transportation industries could benefit from liquid hydrocarbon fuels with a smaller carbon footprint, to help meet emissions targets. New research suggests that chemical looping technologies could be used to produce fuels with a lower impact, as a ...

Utility CO2 mitigation markets will grow at double-digit rates
Operators of coal-fired power plants are committing billions of dollars in expenditures to reduce the quantities of CO2 per kilowatt of power produced. These expenditures are accelerating at double-digit rates. Forecasts of the revenues for CO2 capture, efficiency improvements and research are provided in the new Utility CO2 Mitigation Markets published online by the McIlvaine Company. The ...

Carbon Dioxide Now Being Captured in First of Its Kind BECCS Pilot
The demonstration plant at the power station, near Selby in North Yorkshire, is using innovative technology, developed by Leeds-based C-Capture, to capture a tonne of CO2 a day, during the pilot. It is the first-time carbon dioxide has been captured from the combustion of a 100% biomass feedstock anywhere in the world.If the BECCS pilot can be scaled up to deliver negative emissions, Drax Power ...
