Carbon capture from cement manufacturing nears market readiness
A consortium led by Australian firm Calix is now well on the way to completing a pilot plant for its breakthrough technology that will capture carbon emissions from the manufacture of lime cement. Other projects with similar aims to reduce the global warming impact of construction with concrete are also racing to the marketplace. The pilot plant, known as LEILAC (Low Emissions Intensity Lime And Cement), is based in Europe to take advantage of European funding for carbon capt
New Carbon-Capture Technology Could Be Game-Changer for Fossil Fuels
A new technology being tested in Texas uses captured CO2 gas to power turbines. A new demonstration power plant could change the economics of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). The 25-MW combined-cycle natural gas plant in LaPorte, Texas, called Net Power, incorporates CO2 generated back into the creation of energy and is the world’s only industrial-scale supercritical CO2-based power plant. “I think if it works as they say it will, it will be a major step forward. It wo
Direct Air Capture: A solution in CO2 self-sufficiency for bottling plants?
Last month’s European carbon dioxide (CO2) supply shortage sent shockwaves through food and beverage markets as a combination of factors left manufacturers desperate for product. “The CO2 shortage made us experience that the bubbles in our fizzy drinks are an exhaust gas from chemical plant,” says Climeworks’ Marketing Manager Valentin Gutknecht. “I hope that this has also raised awareness that cleaner and more reliable alternatives for CO2 supply are also available.” One of
Inside London’s very own carbon capture (test) plant
Filling four stories of Imperial College London, UK, is a one-of-a-kind carbon capture plant. Built for students in partnership with ABB, the facility is currently being used to test the firm’s new software solution that will allow pupils to understand how different plant devices work. Heidi Vella caught up with ABB digital lead David Lincoln to find out more. Inside the sprawling central London Imperial College campus is the last place any one would expect to find a fully fu
Mineral created in lab that can remove CO2 pollution from atmosphere
Though still in preliminary stages, scientists welcome 'big step forward' in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas levels and curtail climate change Scientists have found a way to produce a mineral, known as magnesite, in a lab that can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, offering a potential strategy for tackling climate change. By reducing a process that normally takes thousands of years to a matter of days, the research could boost the burgeoning field of carbon capture and storage
Norway Is Opening for Business in Carbon Capture
Norway could be getting into the business of importing and sequestering CO2 as a service, thanks to a new undersea project for carbon capture and storage. The Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has announced that it will be moving forward with an undersea project for carbon capture and storage (CSS), the first in the world to be able to store carbon dioxide (CO2) waste from multiple industrial sources. If the project is successful, it will serve as a stepping stone fo
