E.ON and Siemens switch on pilot CO2 capture facility at the Staudinger coal-fired power plant
E.ON and Siemens are starting up a pilot CO2 capture plant at the E.ON power plant Staudinger in Grosskrotzenburg near Hanau. The two companies are thus pushing further ahead with the development of a process geared toward climate-friendly coal-based power generation. A lab-proven process is to be employed under real operating conditions at the power plant’s hard-coal-fired Staudinger Unit 5. The ...

World`s First Integrated CCS of Coal-fired Power Plant Emissions Begins
A carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) demonstration project jointly under way by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Southern Company, a major U.S. electric utility, has begun underground injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) recovered from emissions from a coal-fired power generation plant. The event marks an important milestone in the world's first integrated CCS project for flue gas ...

New coal plants with 15 year life are economically and environmentally attractive
Recent reports to the contrary, new coal-fired plants are both economically and environmentally attractive compared to operating existing coal-fired plants or replacing them with alternative energy generation. This is the conclusion reached by McIlvaine Company in its new 'CO2 Decisions' which is one of the Decision Trees in Power Plant Air Quality Decisions. Existing coal-fired plants are ...

Cutting CO2 emissions from existing coal plants
Professor Ernest Moniz, director of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and former undersecretary of the US Department of Energy, has unveiled a report on reducing carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal plants. The report is based on the findings of a major MIT symposium on retrofitting coal-fired power plants, and identifies a range of possible next steps for the consideration of policy ...

CCS is moving forward
Two large components arrived today at the pilot plant for CO2 capture in Buggenum, the Netherlands. Through its subsidiary Nuon, Vattenfall is now actively working with development of three different carbon capture technologies. Important parts of the CO2 capture pilot are put into place today. The pilot is located at the Willem Alexander power plant in Buggenum and will start up operations in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Summit Power & Linde Join Forces to Develop Projects Deploying Carbon Capture from Natural Gas
Summit Power Group, a Seattle-based developer of low-carbon power projects, and the technology company The Linde Group today announced they have teamed up to develop commercial-scale natural gas-fired power plants that will capture up to ninety percent (90%) of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that would otherwise have been emitted. The new power plants will combine well-established and commercially ...

Mobile carbon capture technology removes 1000 kg CO2/day from Polish coal power plant
Power plants are a major source of CO2 emissions and contributor to global warming. This study reports on a portable technology to remove CO2 from their combustion exhaust gases. Pilot testing on a coal burning plant in Poland captured thousands of kilograms of CO2 per day. This could be a viable future means of mitigating CO2 emissions from the power generation sector. The average temperatures ...

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 ...
