Technip Energies and GE Vernova advance UK’s transition to netzero

Net Zero Teesside (NZT) Power is expected to be one of the first gas-fired power stations of its kind – fully integrated with carbon capture technology. Consortium and technology selection marks an important next step towards the proposed development of bp’s NZT Power project in the UK, aiming to capture up to 2 million tonnes

LanzaTech introduces Tech to capture carbon

Synthetic biology and engineering company LanzaTech commercialized a technology that captures carbon from steel mills and ferril alloy mills before it is released into the atmosphere; it is then transformed into raw materials that are used in products traditionally derived from petroleum. Plants get a new revenue stream through the sale of ethanol made from

Viruses amplify ocean’s carbon capture capacity

Scientists are zeroing in on the virus species in the world’s oceans that are most likely to combat climate change by helping trap carbon dioxide in seawater. Armed with a catalog of hundreds of thousands of DNA and RNA virus species in the world’s oceans, scientists are now zeroing in on the viruses most likely

First methanol-fueled ultramax bulk carrier gets ABS approval in China

Lemissoler Navigation Ltd. and Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute (SDARI) received ABS approval in principle (AIP) for its design of a 65K DWT methanol-fueled ultramax bulk carrier, the first such methanol vessel for China’s shipbuilding industry. “ABS understands and is deeply involved in supporting clients with decarbonization solutions. Getting to net zero by

Essar selects Topsoe for UK carbon capture project

Essar Oil UK announced the selection of a second key licensor technology provider, Denmark-based Topsoe, for setting up an industrial carbon capture facility as part of its planned energy transition project at Stanlow, UK. Topsoe will provide its sustainable flue-gas treatment technology SNOXTM, the company said in a statement. Essar had earlier this year created

Carbon capture by algae-assisted microbial fuel cell

Researchers Arti Sharma et al, from the IIT-J tested out their technology and have documented the results in a paper published in Chemical Engineering. What they have developed is to first cool the flue gas (the gas produced from the flue or chimneys of thermal power stations and other industrial plants) in a heat exchanger

IEA says don’t bank on carbon capture

Carbon capture and storage has become a key plank of the Canadian oil and gas sector’s decarbonization goals, but a new report from the International Energy Agency warns against banking on the technology as the planet continues to warm. In a report released recently, the Paris-based IEA said oil and gas companies need to start

New technology for converting CO2 to CO holds potential

A new energy-efficient carbon dioxide capture technology that converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide under electro catalytic conditions under ambient temperatures in the presence of water has been developed with potential for application in the steel sector. In efforts to support India’s goal for net-zero emissions by 2070, the DST-supported National Centre of Excellence in

Need to fast track carbon capture to achieve for netzero

To achieve global net zero goals by 2050, the world has to urgently fast track capturing 7 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, according to Wood Mackenzie research. According to their analysis, the current pace of carbon removal is on course to reach only 2 billion tonnes of CO2 by 2050 (base case scenario).

BASF first company to produce metal-organic frameworks for carbon capture

BASF is the first company to produce metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on a production scale of several hundred tons per year. MOFs are highly crystalline structures with nanometer-sized pores and a large surface area. This structure offers a high capacity for the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2), the dehumidification of air for room climate control, and
