SK invests in Fulcrum BioEnergy to accelerate production of low-carbon fuel from waste

Green Car Congress

has been expanding investments in green businesses and technologies to achieve its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in response to global climate change. Fulcrum’s process combines gasification technology with a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) fuel process for the efficient, low-cost production of renewable transportation fuels.

Study estimates global black carbon emissions up 72% from 1960-2007; BC emissions intensity down 52%

Green Car Congress

Black carbon emissions and BC emissions intensity per year. A study led by a team from Peking University has estimated that global black carbon (BC) emissions increased from 5.3 teragrams per year in 2007 (+72%). Black carbon has two deleterious effects on the environment. Credit: ACS, Wang et al. Click to enlarge.

Pilot Project Sends Kelp–and Carbon–to the Seafloor

Cars That Think

At daybreak, the cranks pull the ring back up to the surface to soak up sunlight and carbon dioxide. The Climate Foundation , the Seattle-based company behind the project, has found that this deep cycling makes kelp grow three times as fast as it can when kept in shallow waters, as seaweed farmers do now. But his concept has evolved.

Proposed CA LCFS pathways for corn starch ethanol with carbon capture and sequestration: as low as 37 gCO2e/MJ

Green Car Congress

North Dakota-based Red Trail Energy (RTE), which since 2007 has operated an ethanol production facility with annual production of about 60 million gallons per year, is proposing sequestration of CO 2 produced from starch fermentation to lower the overall carbon intensity of the fuel for the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS).

Perspective: The Role of Offsets in Climate Change Legislation

Green Car Congress

If a cap-and-trade program includes offsets, regulated entities have the opportunity to purchase the “emission credits” generated by carbon offset projects to help them meet their compliance obligations. In this way, offsets would complement the more traditional emissions trading that can occur between two covered sources.
