Samsung Heavy to work along with BASF for onboard carbon capture tech

South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries has partnered with German chemicals giant BASF to evaluate the feasibility of capturing carbon dioxide onboard vessels utilising the latter’s OASE blue technology for flue gas applications. Under a memorandum of understanding, the scope of the collaboration will include a marinisation study and engineering design and construction of the

Cambridge University researchers develop artificial leaf to turn carbon dioxide into fuel

A team of researchers at Cambridge University developed an artificial leaf that can float on water and absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from air and turn the water into fuel like hydrogen and syngas. The researchers tested their 100-square-centimetre artificial-leaf device outdoors on a river. The device, depending on the catalyst used, either splits water

Solar-powered chemistry can be used to turn carbon dioxide, water into fuels  

According to an International study it is proved that solar-powered synthesis gas could reprocess carbon dioxide into fuels and useful chemicals. They have found that if we can generate syngas from carbon dioxide using solar energy, then we can use it to recycle and develop methanol and other chemicals and fuels. As a result of

Anaergia to supply CO2 to European Energy A/S for green e-methanol

Anaergia Inc announced that it has signed an agreement with European Energy A/S to supply up to 60,000 tonnes per year of liquefied biogenic Carbon Dioxide for a period of 10 years. Anaergia will provide the liquified CO2 from the anaerobic digesters that will operate at its plant being built in Tønder, Denmark. Owing to

Tokuyama, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical agree to study CCU-based methanol production

Tokuyama Corporation and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. have signed an MOU to conduct a feasibility study on methanol production technology. They agreed to study the manufacture and sale of methanol made from carbon dioxide emitted and hydrogen generated at Tokuyama’s Tokuyama Factory. This study will also consider the use of H2 produced using green

Decarbonization and energy transition: how does the utility sector change?

After the COP-26 climate summit held at Glasgow in UK, climate change has become an important subject for several industries to rethink of the emission standards implemented their operations or processes. The power, utilities and renewables (PU&R) sector is one among which has a substantial role to play in the transition to clean energy. Decarbonisation

MOL launches joint projects to develop ammonia-powered gas carrier

Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), Tsuneishi Shipbuilding and Mitsui E&S Shipbuilding have launched a joint project aimed at developing and building an ocean-going liquefied gas carrier that will use ammonia as its main fuel. The vessel is envisioned as a mid-size, 40,000 cu m ammonia/LPG carrier equipped with a main engine that can run mainly

Textile-based filter can capture carbon dioxide

It is found by the North Carolina State University researchers that they could filter carbon dioxide from air and gas mixtures at promising rates using a proposed new textile-based filter. The filter can combine cotton fabric and an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. The initial research shows that there is a possibility of developing new carbon

GNG’s greener life program helps reach 100 million pounds of CO2 emissions  

Georgia Natural Gas (GNG) announced that Greener Life program reached a program milestone of 100 million pounds of carbon emissions offset from the environment. The amount is the equivalent to over 110 million miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle. GNG partners with Wolf Creek Landfill Project in Georgia and the Doe Mountain Forest

MOL joins FMC to boost decarbonization

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, (MOL) has announced that it has joined the First Movers Coalition (FMC) with an aim to to boost demand for decarbonization technology. MOL is the first Japanese company to take part in FMC. FMC was established to boost demand for decarbonization technology. It is a platform that has an objective to help
