World’s largest CO2-to-methanol plant starts production

The world’s first commercial scale CO2-to-methanol plant has started production in Anyang, Henan Province, China. The cutting-edge facility is the first of its type in the world to produce methanol — a valuable fuel and chemical feedstock — at this scale from captured waste carbon dioxide and hydrogen gases. The Shunli CO2-to-Methanol plant in Anyang,

CO2-to-methanol plant begins production in China

A ‘cutting-edge’ carbon dioxide (CO2)-to-methanol plant has begun production in Anyang, Henan Province, China, becoming the world’s first commercial scale facility of its kind to produce methanol from captured waste CO2 and hydrogen gases. Taking advantage of Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL) technology developed by Carbon Recycling International (CRI), the facility will be capable of capturing 160,000 tonnes

Stena Bulk joins GCMD, and OGCI for shipboard carbon capture

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) and Stena Bulk today initiated the first stage of a two-year, three-phase project to demonstrate shipboard carbon capture at scale. Together with Alfa Laval, the American Bureau of Shipping, Deltamarin and TNO, the consortium will investigate onboard capture and storage, as

BASF’s catalyst decreases CO2 footprint

BASF introduces CircleStarTM, an innovative dehydration catalyst to process renewable feedstocks. The novel star-shaped catalyst achieves a 99.5% selectivity for the ethanol-to-ethylene (E2E) conversion. With an operating temperature that is more than 25°C lower compared to conventional processes, CircleStar helps to decrease the carbon footprint in the bio-ethylene value chain for products ranging from jet

Efforts to convert carbon dioxide into bulk chemicals and liquid fuels

A team led by Prof. Yuhan Sun and Gao Peng from Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI), Chinese Academy of Sciences reported recent efforts by their group aimed at developing high-performance heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of CO2 and H2 in producing bulk chemicals (methanol, lower olefins, aromatics) and specific-range hydrocarbons (gasoline and jet fuel) with

NTPC captures first CO2 from VSTPS

NTPC Limited has captured its first carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas stream of 500 MW coal-based power plant located at Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station (VSTPS). This plant is designed to capture 20 tonnes of CO2 every day. This initiative shall pave the way for scaling up CO2 capture technology and greening the coal

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
