Carbon Sciences plans to act as developer for US-based methane-to-gasoline plant

Green Car Congress

California-based Carbon Sciences, Inc. Carbon Sciences says it will design its plant to produce gasoline cost-effectively from the thousands of available small- and medium-size natural gas fields. The syngas production section accounts for more than 50% of the capital cost of a methanol plant. —Byron Elton, CEO.

New catalytic process turns renewable and waste carbon into cleaner, high-performance diesel biofuel blendstock

Green Car Congress

Our next step is to collaborate with Argonne National Laboratory to take an atomistic look at what is happening at the surface to help us design the next high-performance, low-cost catalyst material.

PNNL team develops least costly to date carbon capture system with conversion to methanol

Green Car Congress

The new PNNL carbon capture and conversion system brings the cost to capture CO 2 down to about $39 per metric ton. Just as one can choose between single-use and recyclable materials, so too can one recycle carbon. We looked at three CO 2 -binding solvents in this new study. But, no matter the setup, solvents are central.

IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

Low-cost ceramics enable temperatures beyond the limitations of metals to deliver fuel efficiencies of power plants in small-scale distributed power. Not only can IPG’s technology deliver low-emission, pollutant-free energy on today’s cleaner fuels.

Nacero selects Topsoe’s TIGAS technology for gas-to-gasoline unit; reducing lifecycle carbon footprint up to 50%

Green Car Congress

The plant will produce cleaner gasoline from low-cost natural gas, captured bio-methane from farms and landfills, and mitigated flared gas from the Permian basin. The Penwell facility will be the first gasoline manufacturer in the world to incorporate carbon capture and sequestration.

GlobalData: hydrogen to become game changer as large-scale source of cleaner power

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen serves as one of the leading alternatives for energy storage and seems to be favoured as a low-cost alternative for storing huge quantities of electricity over days, week and also months. The availability of these sources is not always commensurate with demand for power. However, this could change in the near future.

SwRI, UTSA seek to combine reverse water-gas shift and Fischer Tropsch synthesis in single reactor to produce low-carbon hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio (USTA) are collaborating to combine two catalytic processes into a single reactor, with the overall goal of recycling carbon from COCO 2 2 to produce low-cost hydrocarbon fuels.
