Argonne study shows range of GHG reductions for electrofuel Fischer-Tropsch; up to 108% reduction

Green Car Congress

A team at Argonne National Laboratory’s Systems Assessment Center has evaluated the well-to-wheel (WTW) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Fischer–Tropsch (FT) fuels produced via various electrolytic H 2 pathways and CO 2 sources; using various process designs (i.e., Zang et al. —Zang et al. 0c05893.

DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. This work will focus on designing a carbon capture system capable of capturing 50 to 70 percent of CO 2 emissions from blast furnace gas. LH CO 2 MENT Colorado Project.

Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

Researchers hope to capture this energy and use it to produce clean, zero-carbon electricity. And it’s become increasingly important as a rapidly warming climate and soaring electricity demand have made the need for stable, carbon-free power ever more acute. When we talk to electric utilities, that’s not actually what they want to buy.”

NREL report estimates gasoline produced from biomass could cost about the same as ethanol

Green Car Congress

The basis for this study was a stand-alone gasification/synthesis process including sub-processes or unit operations for integrated tar reforming, acid gas scrubbing, and synthesis to methanol followed by conversion to gasoline. Gas Cleanup & Conditioning. Cyclones at the exit of the gasifier separate the char and sand from the syngas.
