Carbon Capture: Protect the Climate and Reduce Costs with Plastic Fills
Fossil fuels continue to play a major role in industry and energy supply. Carbon capture (CO2 capture) will, therefore, be essential to help many companies shape the transition to the zero-emission age. The material selection for the installation of chemical flue gas scrubbers has a decisive influence on the investment costs for the relevant carbon capture systems. Technologies for wet chemical ...

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 ...
